1. Taking photographs using the internal flash

<1. Taking photographs using the TTL auto flash function with the internal flash>

The amount of light from the flash reflected off the subject onto the film is mea- sured (TTL direct metering) to control the flash intensity.

When the internal flash is raised manually the flash power supply is switched ON and charging begins.

Once the flash is charged, the “ ” mark lights in the viewfinder and the shutter speed is set automatically as fol- lows in accordance with the selected exposure mode.

•The “ ” mark flashes (twice per second) while the internal flash is charging. The shutter will not operate while the internal flash is charging.

•If the light is adjusted following photography, the “ ” mark flashes rapidly (four times per second) for two seconds.

•If the “ ” mark does not flash following photography, the subject is too far away result- ing in under-exposure. Either move the camera closer to the subject, or open the aper- ture, and take the photograph. The distance range for photography is reduced if using reversal film, and photographs should be taken within the flash photography range shown on the following page.

•Over-exposure may still occur even if the “ ” mark flashes following close-up photogra- phy. Photographs should be taken within the flash photography range shown on the fol- lowing page.

•The ABC Exposure mode cannot be used with the flash.

•When drive mode “C”(continuous photography mode) is selected, the shutter operates repeatedly only waiting for the flash to charge.

•Use ISO25 to 800 film (does not include exposure compensation).

When photography is complete, close the internal flash by pressing it.
