TAKING PICTURES (WITH EXISTING LIGHT)
1. Make sure the lens-cover glass clean and
dry and film is fully advanced.
2. Set focus for the proper camera-to-sub
ject distance.
3. Hold the camera horizontally or vertically in a comfortable way so that it is steadied
against your face and will not move when you take a picture. Both hands and the
camera strap should be kept behind the front edge of the camera.
4. Compose your picture within the bright frame.
5. When not taking flash pictures, start with the exposure/function control knob set at
the -* sun symbol.
6. Depress the shutter release slightly. If the red lamp at the right in the finder does not
come on, hold the camera steady and continue to squeeze the release all the way down
to make the exposure. If the red lamp at the right in the finder comes on, move the
exposure/ function control knob to the cloud symbol. If the lamp still comes on when
the shutter release is depressed slightly, existing light is too low for proper exposure,
and you should turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the (* * ) flash symbol and
proceed as explained on page 48.
