Operating Instructions

Precautions

›Do not tamper with the camera’s internal compo-

nents. High-voltage circuits may pose a health

hazard.

Also, tampering will invalidate your warranty.

›Should the camera be damaged, do not touch any

internal components to avoid an electric shock.

›Should the camera get wet, remove the battery for

the same reason.

Battery notes

›The camera will work only with a battery properly

loaded.

›Load the battery with the proper polarity.

›Batteries must not be recharged,

short-circuited or opened,

thrown into a fire,

exposed to humidity or liquids,

disposed of with household garbage.

Keep batteries away from children!

GENERAL

Congratulations on your sophisticated new

35 mm camera!

Please read these instructions carefully before

using your camera, so you will be able to make

optimum use of its many features.

The shutter of your camera will not release, if …

›no battery is loaded or the battery is exhausted;

›the lens cover is closed (camera OFF);

›the film is being rewound.

Your camera is electronically controlled by a

microprocessor. In rare cases, strong electrical or

magnetic fields may give rise to malfunctions. In this

case remove the battery for 2 – 3 minutes. The camera

should again function normally after reloading the

battery.

GENERAL

Preventive police recommendation:

Marking your valuables, photographing and cataloging

them will make it more difficult for thieves to sell them

and may save you a lot of trouble.

The viewfinder

This is your guide to what will be recorded on film.

1Autofocus frame

The camera will automatically focus on the subject

detail covered by this frame.

2Parallax marks

These mark the upper and left frame lines of your

picture at distances between 0.4 m and 0.9 m.

3AEB (automatic exposure bracketing)

This appears in the AEB mode as you press the

shutter release halfway.

4MF (manual focusing)

This appears when you press the shutter release

halfway with autofocusing disabled.

The minimum focusing distance is 0.4 m.

Please note that at distances between 0.4 and 0.9 m

so-called parallax will cause the viewfinder to show a

slightly different frame from the one recorded on film.

This is why parallax marks serve as upper and left-

hand frame lines at this distance. In other words, the

actual frame will shift to the bottom and right. Be sure

to make allowance for this effect.

VIEWFINDER FRAME

AEB MF

Loading the battery

Your camera is designed for use of a type CR2 or CR2/

DL 3V lithium battery with an average capacity of

around 360 exposures.

Please do NOT load any film as long as there is no

battery in the camera.

Before shooting, be sure to check the battery status

(see p. 11).

The date and hour have to be reset after loading a new

battery (see p.37).

When traveling and shooting at low temperatures, it is

advisable to carry a spare battery.

›Open the battery-compartment cover with a coin.

›Load the battery with due regard to the polarity

marks (+) and (-).

›Align the symbols, and tighten the cover with the aid

of a coin.
