This is an amendment to the charts on pages 31 and 57 of the camera manual. The ISO is set to
auto in the auto-recording mode. The flash range is measured from the CCD. Because of the optical
system, the flash range is not the same at the lens’ wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto
position.
When using the flash with subjects closer than 1m away (3 ft.) with the lens in the wide-angle posi-
tion, vignetting can occur. A slight shadow or shading may be detected at the bottom of a horizontal
image.
THE OPTICAL VIEWFINDER AND PARALLAX
Because the optical viewfinder and the lens is slightly separated, their view is not exactly the same;
this is called parallax. Parallax can cause errors in framing at close distances and is more pro-
nounced at longer focal lengths. When the subject is closer than 1m (wide-angle lens positions) or
3m (telephoto lens position) use the LCD monitor to compose the image; because the lens creates
the monitor image, it does not suffer from parallax.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the camera is accidentally turned on while in a bag or case, or if the lens is hindered while extend-
ing, the camera may not function. Simply turn the camera off and on to restore operation.
If the error message (Err) is displayed on the data panel, turn off the camera and remove the batter-
ies or unplug the external power supply. Wait for the message to disappear before reinserting the
batteries or plugging in the power supply. This amends the text on page 107.
VOICE MEMO AND INSTANT PLAYBACK
This is an amendment to the camera manual. The voice memo (p. 43) and instant playback (p. 45)
functions will be disabled when the continuous-advance or bracketing drive modes (p. 32) are used.
