If the beeper doesn't signal, the
batteries are inserted incorrectly
or are exhausted.
The batteries will last about one
year and must be replaced with
two 1.5V silver oxide batteries
(SR 44, EPX-76 or equivalent).
Do not press the shutter release
during battery check operation,
or the battery will run down
quickly, leaving the shutter open-
ed. Return the lever to the normal
position.
2. Check the batteries.
Set the control lever to "CHECK".
The beeper emits a tone and the
check lamp glows brightly.

the aperture lever ( mark) to the
F-number required.
2. Confirm the shutter speed in
the viewfinder, aiming at the sub-
ject.
(The arrows indicate parallax cor-
rection marks.)
If the shutter speed nee-
dle enters the striped, over-
exposure warning zone,
push the aperture lever
downwardsothatthenee-
dle points to "500" (1/
500sec) orunder.
If the needle points to
"30" (1/30 sec) or under,
be careful not to shake the
camera.
(To make full use of aperture con-
trol,see pages 13 & 14.)

finder, compose and focus.
If the subject distance is 0.85 ~
1 meter (2.8 ~ 3.3 feet), frame
the subject in the area under the
2 parallax correction marks.
Turn
the
focusing
lever
until
the
double image in the central rec-
tangle fuses into one. Focusingcan
