For close-up pictures within im (3.3 ft.) compose the subject in the area enclosed by 3 small indi.ces (parallax correction marks) in the frame.. 2t Focusing Focusing is done by the bright rectangular section at the center of the viewfinder. White looking through the viewfinder, move the helical focus ring on the lens barrel, until the double images within the small rectangle coincide and become clearly visible. Now the subiect is in focus. The distance scale on the lens barrel is in' dicated in meters (white color) and in feet (orange color). Any reading aligned to the center index represents the distance to the subiect..

The entire exposure me' chanism depends on the batteries and will not operate unless the yellow light illuminates. For normal exposures the yellow light will go out as you depress the shutter button further. The yellow lieht also serves as a slow shutter speed warning. When depressing the' shutter release button approximately half w?V, the yellow light will remain illuminated if the automatic exposure system has set the shutter speed within 1/30 sec. to 4 sec. range. This indicates that you. 15.

(18) should either use a tripod to prevent blurred picturres due to long exposure time, or switch to flash operation. When taking pictures at stow speeds remember that you must hold the shutter button down until the yellow lieht goes out. o Green light The green light will illuminate only when a flash has been inserted into the camera's accessory shoe. The green lieht indicates insufficient exposure for a non.flash picture. The camera wiil automatically trigger the flash. When taking flash pictures, make absolutely certain that your focus setting is accurate. Accurate focusing determines the correct exposure. lf the green_light does not illuminate, there is,sufficient lieht for a non-flash picture, and the camera will automatically switch to non-flash operation..

(20) \ O H E L P F U LH I N T S. Since the ASA selector dial is the only method of controlling the electronic exposure system of the Olympus 35ECR camera, make absolutely certain that you have the correct ASA setting on the camera for the film you are using. Otherwise, your pictures will be incorrectly exposed. To over-or under-expose your pictures for special effects, over-or under-rate the ASA setting on the camera. To over-expose by one f/stop equivalent, simply set the ASA to half the value of the ASA of the film being used. For gxample, if you are using A S A 1 O Of i l m a n d w i s h t o r e d u c e t h e a m o u n t o f l i e h t exposing the film by one f/stop, set the ASA index to 200. To increase the amount of lieht exposing the. film by one f/stop, set the ASA index to b0. Always re-set the ASA scale to the correct setting after taking special effect pictures. When taking flash pictures, the correct focusing is required. The focusing mechanism is direcily linked to the flash exposure control.. r8 www.orphancameras.com.
