TAKING GENERAL PICTURES (Effective Range: one meter (3.3 ft.) 0 0 When the lens is on the wide-angle side, part of the lens frame is seen through the viewfinder, but it is not recorded on the film. FL 10 O Autofocus spot (Bring this on the main part of the subject.) O Picture-area frame (Ordinary picture-taking area) O Parallax-correction frame (Since the picture area becomes slightly narrow in the macro shooting or in the general-picture shooting of the subject about one meter (3.3 ft.) away, compose the picture within this frame.) Depress the shutter-release button half-way, and after making sure the green lamp 0 or red one 0 shown at left lights up, release the shutter. If the film is not in the camera, these lamps will not light up properly as follows: O Green lamp: When it lights up, you are ready to shoot. . When it flickers, you should not shoot. O Red lamp: . When it lights up, flash is ready to fire. . When it flickers, flash is being charged. • The flickering of the green lamp indicates the camera -to-subject distance is beyond the effective range in the general-picture shooting or in the macro shooting. In this case, adjust the camera-to-subject distance so that the green lamp lights up, and release the shutter. (When the camera-to-subject distance is extremely short, the green lamp may not flicker.)
