When flash shooting, people's eyes come out red.

*Red-eye phenomenon is a common problem in flash photography. The

phenomenon occurs because the retina be- hind the pupil of an eye reflects flash light.

Shooting conditions such as the brightness

or darkness of surroundings also affect red-eye phenomenon. Intensity of red-eye phenomenon will differ from person to

person as it depends on dilation of the pupil. Generally, when the distance between the subject and the camera increases, so does the occurance of red-eye. To reduce this phenomenon, use Auto-S flash mode (refer p. 38).

The camera does not work in extremely cold weather.

*In low temperature conditions, batteries temporarily lose performance. Try to keep the camera warm.

When shooting, the scene was in the viewfinder, but on the picture the edge was cut off

*When printing, sometimes the edge of your photo may be cut off. When composing your shot, be sure to leave some space on the edges to compensate.

My photos look like the film is cracked

*Check the film compartment for dust. When a camera has been used for a long period of time, the film compartment may need to be cleaned. Do so carefully.
