Handling Precautions

1.Before taking pictures of important events, such as weddings and trips, check to make sure the camera is working properly.

2.This camera is not resistant to water, and should not be used outdoors if it is raining or snowing. Keep the camera out of salt spray and excessive humidity. If used at the beach, clean it thoroughly afterwards with a dry cloth.

3.Store the camera in a cool, dry, dust-free place. Be sure to keep the camera out of direct sunlight, and away from “hot spots” such as the trunk or rear window shelf of a car. Avoid places where mothballs are used, and use a desiccant in excessive humidity.

4.Do not attempt to disassemble the camera yourself, since there is high-voltage circuitry inside.

5.The battery may explode or cause burns if disassembled, recharged, shorted, exposed to high temperatures, or disposed of in a fire.

6.Use a blower brush to remove dust and sand from the lens and inside the camera. Do not apply any fluids to the lens or body.

if is displayed.

(lit)	The battery level OK.
(lit)	Prepare a new battery.

A new battery will generally provide enough charge to shoot approx. 16 rolls of 24- exposure film (based on Canon’s Standard Test Method at normal temperature and with 50% flash use). At low temperatures (–10°C/ 14°F), the battery life is approximately one third of the normal figure.

When you take consecutive shots using the flash, the battery level may drop off temporarily and prevent the LCD panel from displaying information correctly.

Loading and Removing the Film

2 The film automatically winds on to the first frame and “1” appears on the frame counter.

●If the frame counter shows a blinking “0”, the film did not load correctly. Load the film again.

■ Close-up Photography

there is a difference between what you see in the
viewfinder and the picture you actually take, and therefore
the part of the picture outside the close-up frame will be
cut off.
After locking the focus on your subject, bring the subject

●Even if set, the Real-time Release Custom Function (CF1) will not operate.

Shooting against Dark Backgrounds

Use this mode when you are taking pictures of people against a sunset or nighttime background.

The flash illuminates the subject and the slow shutter speed captures the background, allowing you to take beautiful pictures.

●Follow the steps in autoflash mode to take a picture.

●The red-eye reduction function will operate.

● You cannot change the flash mode.

●No camera shake warning is given. Because of the slow shutter speeds (up to 2 seconds), you must use a tripod to keep the camera steady. You should also ensure that the subject does not move in the moment after the flash fires.

4Compose the shot and take the picture.

●Press the shutter button fully.

●Press the shutter button slowly and gently.

● Holding the Camera

Grasp the camera firmly with both hands so that it does not move, and make sure that your hair, fingers or camera strap etc. do not come into contact with the lens, the AF sensor or the flash.

●Shutter Button

The shutter button is a two-stage switch. Lightly press it halfway to automatically determine focus and exposure. Press it fully to take the picture.

●If the lens is left extended and is not used for 4 minutes, it is automatically retracted to wide-angle position.

●In dark places, the AF-assist beam emitter will light automatically.

Subjects Difficult to Autofocus

The green lamp may blink 4 times per second for subjects with the following characteristics that cannot be brought into focus.

In situations like this, focus on something roughly the same distance away as your subject and lock the focus for the shot.

Main types of subjects where focusing is difficult:

●Subjects in scenes without much contrast, e.g. blue sky, or scenes of mainly one color

●Subjects in very dark places

●Subjects in extreme backlit situations or subjects which are extremely reflective, e.g. the body of a car which gives off a strong reflection

●Subjects in a photograph, some of which are close and some of which are in the distance, e.g. animals in a cage

●Subjects with a repetitive pattern, e.g. continuous windows in a building, etc.

Using Focus Lock

Lock the focus when you want the subject to be off center, or when the subject is within 1 m/ 3.3 ft. of the camera.

Use this mode when you want to take close-up pictures of flowers and insects.

You can get as close to 45 cm/1.5 ft. to the subject to take a picture. The shooting distance range is between 0.45 m/1.5 ft. to infinity.

●Refer to Close-up Photography for the procedure to shoot in close-up.

The lens automatically zooms and locks into position.

You cannot operate the zoom.

Shooting in Real Time

Press the shutter button down halfway to focus on the subject and then press the button fully to take a picture in real time. This mode enables you to take pictures at the best moment.

If you press the shutter button all the way down in a single movement, realtime release does not operate.

Using Red-eye Reduction Function Effectively

When you use the flash to take photos of people in low light conditions, their eyes sometimes glow red in the photograph. This is referred to as the red-eye effect and is caused by the light of the flash being reflected off the retina of the eye.

When the red-eye reduction operates, the red-eye reduction lamp lights for approximately 1 second before the flash fires. This causes the subjectís pupils to contract, minimizing the risk of red-eye.

Take the picture from within 2 m/6.6 ft. of your subject.

Attract the subjectís attention so that he or she looks at the camera.

● Set the lens to the wide-angle position.

● Raise the available light level as much as possible.

● The effectiveness of the red-eye reduction function varies from person to person.

When the red-eye reduction function operates, a picture can not be taken for approximately 1 second (the green lamp blinks 16 times). Hold down the shutter button until you hear the sound of the film winding on.

Changing the Flash Mode

You can cause the flash to fire for every shot or suppress flash operation completely to suit the subject or location.
