ORDINARY PHOTOGRAPHY When the power is switched on by depressing the main switch button, the camera automatically selects the Auto and Single-Frame Shooting modes and the exposure counter indication remains on even if the main switch is turned off. These modes are used for taking ordinary pictures. The built-in flash will discharge automatically when the subject is poorly illuminated. • When the LCD panel displayed is different from the one shown above (which indicates the other modes are set), switching power OFF and then ON restores the Auto and Single-Frame Shooting modes. * When the built-in flash automatically discharges, the camera uses the shutter speed approx. 1/40th sec. (when ISO100 film is used). 11
