• Automated flash control range ASA/ISO 100 film 0.7 to 4m ASA/ISO 400 film 1.4 to 6m • Number of cassette roll films possible Approx. 100 flashes with a fresh set of alkaline batteries, at normal temperature and humidity. Precautions: • In flash photography, partial depressing of shutter button will light the GREEN lamp in the viewfinder. However, use flash after confirmation of the flash ready lamp before releasing the shutter. • Should the shutter be released before the flash ready lamp is lit, it may cause underexposed pictures (darker results). • The flash head must be pushed back into the camera, when not required; if left as it is, the batteries will continue to drain- depleting them and shortening their life. • In taking vertical photographs, the camera should be held with the flash head positioned upward; then, gently depress shutter release.
