èBe sure to wind the shutter. If this is neglected and only the self-timer is wound and the shutter button pressed, the self-timer will act but the shutter will not be actuated.

èThe self-timer lever can be used as a CdS actuating lever as soon as it returns to its original position. When taking shots with the eye off the eyepiece, such as when using the self-timer or cable release, always be sure to close the eyepiece shutter.

Since the Canon PELLIX QL incorporates the mirror, the light rays may cause ghosts on the film plane if the viewfinder eyepiece receives strong light.

èFor closing the eyepiece shutter, turn the eyepiece shutter ring to the left and set the index mark to [ ].

When taking pictures with flash, light volume adjustment is required because the Canon PELLIX QL uses a stationary mirror. Obtain F stop by guide number and further open aperture by one-half.

èA lens hood is necessary when taking flash pictures.
