The viewfinder displays

When you have a film pack in the camera and press the

shutter button

halfway

, a display appears in the viewfinder

to help you take the best possible picture.

When you see a

number in the viewfinder

, it tells you the

distance to your subject (in feet or meters). This number

will help you follow the distance recommendations

throughout this book.

When you see a

green “good picture” symbo

l, the condi-

tions are right for taking a good picture. Press the shutter

button the rest of the way.

When you see

a flashing yellow “caution” symbol and hear a

warning tone

, you should correct a problem before taking

the picture. The distance reading will help you identify the

problem. When you see:

The number 1:

Your subject is too close. Release the shutter

button and stand at least 2 feet (.6m) from subject.

A number from 16 to 20:

Your subject is beyond the flash

range. Release the shutter button and move closer to your

subject to keep within the 2 to 15 foot (0.6m to 4.6m) flash

range.

A number from 2 to 15:

The flash is off.

Slide the flash switch up to turn the flash

back on.

Note:

Distance readings do not appear when your subject

is beyond 20 feet (6.2m).
