mechanism may not function properly. Compose your picture  
by focusing on a different subject which is in the same range  
as your subject. (Refer to page 24.)

your pictures with flash, two new 3V lithium batteries  
(DL123A/CR123A) will allow you to take 30 or more rolls of  
film. If you do not use flash and zoom so often, the batteries  
will last much longer.
