GENERAL STEPS OF PICTURE-TAKING-Continued Releasing the shutter When
the
shutter
button
is
released,
an
exposure
is
made
on
the
film. It
is
important
when
snapping
the
shutter
not
to
cause
the
camera
to
shake. Press
gently
with
the
finger
tip.
When
the
shutter
is
released while looking
through
the
viewfinder,
the
field
of
view
is
momentarily
blocked since
the
mirror
is
raised.
At
shutter
speeds slower
than
1/30
sec.,
the
camera
tends
to
shake
if it
is
hand
held. I n such a
situation,
it
is
best
to
secure
the
camera
on
a tri -
pod
,
or
against a solid surface.
The
soft
shutter
release AR-1
is
available
for
your
delicate
shutter
releasing
operation.
The
shutter
cannot
be
tripped
in
the
following
cases:
(1) When
the
film
is
not
advanced.
(2)
Wh
en
both
the
film-advance lever and
shutter
butt
on lock are
pl
aced
at
their
locked posi-
tions
. (Of course,
the
shutter
can be release d
if
the
shutter
button
lock
is
set
so
that
the
red
dot
is
visible, even if
the
film-advance lever
is
locked.
This
is
how
the
AW
-1
is
operated.)
