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).
