WHILE YOU'RE TAKING PICTURES
Using the Built-In Flash
The flash can be used
when the subject is within
0.6m to 3m when using a
film with ISO 100 and the
AF Zoom-Nikkor 35-80
mm f 14-f 15.6 D lens.
If i blinks inside the viewfinder, use the built-in flash. Press the flash
lock release button. Lightly press the shutter release button, wait for the
4 to come on in the viewfinder. Confirm the • (in-focus indicator)
appears in the viewfinder, then fully depress the shutter release button.
• If 4 blinks after shooting for a few seconds, this means that the light
might be insufficient. Check shooting distance, and if necessary,
move closer to subject and take a picture with flash again.
^If a stationary ^
subject starts to
move
Remove your finger from
the shutter release
button and lightly press
again to restart
autofocus.

blinks in the LCD panel—Picture blur
is possible
The light is probably dim and the
automatically selected shutter speed is
slow. This can cause picture blur due to
camera shake. Hold the camera steady,
or use a tripod. Or, use a built-in flash.
• blinks—Unacceptable condition
for autofocus
Autofocus requires that the subject
have some contrast or details to focus
upon. Make sure the subject conforms.
You can't focus on the sky, a blank
wall, a very shiny surface, a subject
which has no details or contrast.
WHEN YOU'VE TAKEN A COMPLETE ROLL
Auto Rewind
When the film reaches the end of roll, it rewinds auto­
matically. After rewinding is completed, remove the film.
•When battery power is very weak, or when temperature is
very low, film may not rewind at the end of roll; Err will appear
in the LCD panel. In this case, replace battery with a fresh
one, or wait for the temperature to rise and then press the
rewind button.
To rewind film at mid-roll: Press the
rewind button on the camera bottom.
