tering sensor (BASIS; base-stored image sensor)
and ahigh-speed super microprocessor, all com-
bined to offer accurate and fast focus. Its
Predictive Focu"s control captures high-speed
subjects even when coming head-on. The built-in
mot~r drive lets you take approximately 5frames
per second for continuous shooting.

(example)
p
1) Set the mainswitch to the
green "0", "A" or "(e))" mark.
The display will come on at
this time. If the display does
not appear, confirm that the
battery is loaded correctly.
2) As shown in the photo, load
the battery so that its termi-
nals face in the direction of
the camera. Make sure the
battery is pushed in all the
way until it is locked by the
orange lever.
3) Replace the grip securely.
•When replacing the battery,
first push the orange lever up.
•When using atripod, dis-
mount the camera before re-
placing the battery.
1) Remove the grip with acoin or
similar object.

ATTACHING THE LENS
CAUTION
•The electronic contacts must
be clean for proper connec-
tion. Do not touch these con-·
tacts.
•
Be su re to place the lens' front
end down to avoid damaging
the electronic contacts.

1) Turn the rear lens cap in the
direction
of the arrow until it
stops
and remove it.
• To attach,
align its
"0" mark with the
red
dot on the lens. Then light-
ly push it in,
and turn clock-
wise until it stops.
2) Turn the body cap counter-
clockwise and remove it.
• To attach,
align its "0" mark with the
camera's red dot, then turn
the cap clockwise.
3) Next, align the lens mount
positioning point with the
camera's red dot.
4) Then turn the lens clockwise 5) Remove the front lens cap.
until it stops
and the lens is
locked with aclick.
•
To remove the lens, turn it
counterclockwise while press-
ing the lens release button.
6) Slide the lens focus mode
switch to "AF".

HOLDING THE CAMERA
AF FOCUSING
Your pictures will not be sharp if the camera
moves as the shutter button is pressed. To avoid
this, try the
following technique:
1) Hold the camera firmly, with your left hand
supporting the camera and lens.
2) Keef!5 your left elbow close to your body.
3) Lightly hold the camera against your cheek or
forehead and look into the viewfinder.
4). Spread your feet about shoulder width for a
steady,
natural stance.
1) Center the AF frame "[ J" over the main
subject.
2) Press the shutter button halfway and auto-
matOic focus (AF) starts. When correct focus is
obtained, the green AF symbol lights up in the
viewfinder
and the AF signal (short beeper
tone) sounds. Press completely to take the
picture.
•Shutter
button action plays an important p,art
in
taking sharp pictures. A quick stroke with
the tip
of your finger or fingernail may cause
camera shake.
•When AF
is impossible, the green AF symbol
will start
blinking and the shutter will not
release (see pp. 26 to 27).

LOADING THE FILM MANUAL FILM SPEED SETTING
..... Before loading the first roll of film, remove the plastic insert.
•NEVER
touch the shutter curtain. Its high-precision design
makes it sensitive
to pressure. Also"when loading the film, be
careful
that the film leader does not touch the shutter curtain.
3) Turn the electronic input dial
until
your film speed appears.
•The previously-set film speed
blinks if the film speed has
not
been set. The warning stops
after
correct film speed set-
ting.
The Gqmera
automatically sets film speed by sensing the OX code marked on the film cartridge.
(ISO
25-5000 according to the OX code.) T,he automatically-set film speed will appear in the display panel
while the film advances to the first usable frame. When using film without a OX code, set the speed manually
by following these steps: (ISO 6-6400).
1) Set the main switch to either 2) Open the switch cover, and
"A" or "CCe»)". press both the blue and yellow
buttons at the same time to
display the ISO film speed
number.
Pull the leader
across the
shutter
curtain until its tip is
aligned with the orange mark.
Close
camera back and film is
automatically to frame. (Blink- ,
ing bars on the LCO panel in-
dicate "re-loading".)
CAUTION
2) Insert the upper-flat end of the 3)

DIFFICULT SUBJECTS FOR Al!JTOFOCUS
,A 1..

Alth6.ugh the AF system of the camera is very
accurate,. it is
not perfect. The following subjects
are difficult for autofocus. When AF is impossible,
the green AF symbol will blink in the viewfinder.
Subjects
• Low contrast subjects
(misty scenes, light-colored or white ob-
jects) (A)
•
Subjects having generally horizontal pat-
terns (window blinds) (B)
• Subjects in extremely strong backlight with
strong reflections
• Subjects with an object in front of them
(caged zoo animals) (C)
•
Fast-moving subjects
(difficult to keep within the AF frame)
(A)
(C)
Focus these subjects as follows:
1. Autofocus a substitute subject at the same
distance from the camera as your main sub-
ject, and then recompose the picture ... (A)
2. Hold the camera vertically and focus the sub-
ject using autofocus then recompose the pic-
ture (B)
3. Manually focus the subject following the steps
on the next page.

Checking the depth of field
It is impossible to check depth of field when
the main switch is set
at the green "0" mark.
Push the
depth of field. check button and the
camera will stop-down the aperture to either the
automatically-calculated vglue (e.g. shutter-prj-
ority AE), or the one set manually (e.g. aperture-
priority AE). As you look through the viewfinder
with the
button pushed in, you can see the range
of sharpness, i.e. the depth of field.
When
your subject is in focus, there is acertain
area in front of it and behind it which will also be in
focus. This range of sharpness is callep "depth of
_field".
Depth
of field has the following characteristics:
1) The smaller the apertu re, the wider the depth
of field and vice versa.
2) The shorter the lens focal length is, the greater
the depth of field, provided that aperture and
shooting distance are the same.
3) The farther the shooting distance, the greater
the depth of field.
4) Depth of field is generally greater in the back-
ground than the foreground.
DEPTH OF FIELD

Underexposure -The shutter speed of 30" starts

Overexposure -The

input dial and set a
smaller

When the
automatically-set shutter speed is
too slow to hand-hold, the camera-shake
warning sounds. We recommend using atri-
pod.

In this mode, the aperture is user set and the
camera chooses correct shutter speed for the

ture value.

•When both values blink, exposure is incorrect.
Use aneutral density filter in
bright settings.
•When you try
to focus extremely near and far
points, the automatically-set shutter speed will
be
comparativ~ly slower and the long beeper
tone will sound to warn you of camera-shake.
Hold the camera steady or use atripod.
•When using azoom lens,
do not change the
lens'
focal'length after focusing the first point.
Always be sure to
compose the picture first.
•Press the
shooting mode selector to clear the
depth of field AE while operating.
Viewfinder information
If it is impossible to get the distance range in
focus, the lens minimum aperture value will start
blinking. Exposure, however, wfll still be
correct
and you will get the best results under the existing
shooting conditions.
Helpful Hints
1. Move back from the subject and follow steps 1
through 4again. If the minimum aperture
stops blinking, the distance .range will be in
sharp focus and the exposure will be correct.
2. Use a wide-ang le lens (or wide-ang le side
when using azoom lens)
and follow steps 1
through 4again. If the minimum aperture
stops blinking, the distance range will be in
sharp focus and the exposure will be correct.
3. Depth of field will be shallow if two points are
focused at the same
shooting distance. Atele-
photo lens is recommended for portraits in
order to strengthen the shallow effect.

so even if you recompose the picture, correct
exposure on the main subject will not be
affected by changes in lighting conditions.
Use this mode, for stage photography, or when
there is abig difference in brightness between the
main subject and the background.
PARTIAL METERING
•The partial metering mode can be used
regardless of the camera's mode, except when
the main switch is set to the green mark posi-
