If the indicator lamp blinks rapidly, the subject is too
close; the shutter cannot be released. Make sure the
camera-to-subject distance is at least 70cm (2.3ft.) at the
wide-angle setting or 80cm (2.6ft.) at the telephoto
setting.
• When taking pictures at extremely close distances, the
indicator lamp may blink slowly and the shutter can be
released, but the focus may not be accurate.
When taking pictures with subjects closer than 1.5m
(4.9ft.), the viewfinder image and the actual film image
will be different. The difference increases as the subject
becomes closer, especially when using the telephoto
setting. At the closest focusing distance, the top and left
side of the actual film image is indicated by the close-
framing guides.
