Film advance
The film is advanced automatically to the next
frame with consistent spacing between frames
regardless of format. This resetting of the frame
position can be heard when the format selector is
moved.
When the mode dial is set at S, one exposure is made.
When the mode dial is set at C, consecutive exposures
are made as long as the release button remains de-
pressed. In the C mode the exposure rate is 1.2 frames/s
in the standard format and 0.9 frames/s in the pano-
rama format.
If only one unexposed frame is left on the film to cover
the standard format and the format selector is switched
to 'panorama', the shutter will lock and a P will flash as a
warning.

When the ambient lighting conditions are too dark too
read the LCD information panels, press the LCD back
light illumination button located below the camLCD
panel, as in the illustration. The panels will be illumi-
nated and remain so until the camera remains inactive
for a period of five seconds. The lighting will then go

tion so you can turn the lighting off simply by pressing

cally controlled by the ambient light level.
Close-range photography

focusing distance to ensure correct framing of the subject.
