FLASH Flash Strength Th e flas h on the IS-3DLX employs a ne w exposure control system that combines the advantages of bo th "flashmatic," used i n compact cam eras, and "auto flash," found i n S L R cameras. Flashmatic emits a fu ll-strength flash while automatically adjusting the aperture for proper exposure.
Ev en w he n th e subject is backlit, th e IS -3DLX can shoot it at the correct e x posu re using ES P metering or spot metering. However, this may wash out the background. This happens because the difference in brightness bet ween that of the subject and the background is too great .
Tur n t he power switch O N , se t th e camera's exposure mo de to S. The battery has bee n recharged. Note: T he G40 won't fire a t shutter speeds faster than 1/100-sec.
Press the shutter release button. Refer to the G40's manual f o r more instructions. Note: Whe n used together, t he G40 fires f ul l emission but the built-in flash is compensated by -3E V.
Bounce (w i th simultaneous use of th e built-in flash) Follow-Synchro (Curtain-2 Synchro) Bounce photography us es indirect lighting of subjects b y reflecting t h e flash of f th e ceiling or wall. With straight flash photography a strong shadow often appears behind the subject.
EFFECTS OF ZOOM A N D I T S ADVANTAGES I n a zoom lens, the focal length is changed by moving par t of th e lens. In the case of the I S- 3DLX, any focal length between 35 mm an d 18 0 mm can be selected.
The five pictures below are samples taken using th e z o o m lens. Notice the dimensions o f the subject as the camera zooms in . Be sure t o hol d the camera firmly or u s e a tripod, as pictures ten d to blur mor e easily at longer focal lengths. Setting t h e shutter speed at 1 / 250-sec.
AUTOFOCUS ( A F ) Difficult Subjects f or Autofocus to Lock Onto Although the IS-3DLX's autofocus can lock on virtually a ny subject, there a re certain conditions, such as ~ shown below, where it ma y not b e possible to obtain the correct focus.
Two subjects a t different distances Subjects with repetitive patterns High-speed subjects at close range Focus o n another subject a t t he desired camera-to-subject distance first. Switch the mo de to power focus, an d shoot the subject w hen it is at the distance set i n advance.
Automatic Exposure M od e Exposure refers t o t he amount o f light which strikes the film, an d is controlled by a combination of aperture si ze an d shutter speed. The correct amount of light , called cor r ec t exposure, depends on the f i l m speed (indicated on the fi l m package, e.
thi s mode. To shoot such high-speed action, excellent ti m ing i s essential to take the photo at j us t the right moment. Th is mode of fe rs the optimal combination of continuous shooting and autofocus to maximize your timing for maximum results.
METERING T H E AMOUNT O F LIGHT Light Metering Light metering can measure the brightness of the framed p ic tu re i n va ri ous w ays . The IS-3 DLX employs th ree metering systems: (1 ) ESP light metering , (2) center-weighted average light metering, and (3) spot metering.
EXPOSURE COMPENSATION Fixed Proper Exposure Proper e xposure re fer s to the bal ance of light and da rk in a photo. When shooting a black a nd wh it e wall, the exposure will b e b a sed on the average ratio of black and white — thus the overall exposure is set f or gray.

CARE AND STORAGE CAUTIONS DO NOT EXPOSE THE CAMERA T O EXTREME HEAT (OVER 40°C/104°F) OR TO EXTREME COLD (BELOW -10°C/14°F). AVOID SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES AND HUMIDITY. D O NO T EXPOSE THE CAMERA TO STRONG MAGNETIC FIELDS. D O NOT APPLY EXCESSIVE FO RC E TO T HE CAMERA O R I TS CONTROLS.
BATTERY HANDLING NOTES D o n o t m ix different types of batteries or n ew and o ld batteries. When the camera is not used fo r a n extended period of time, remove the batteries. Keep spare batteries on h an d when going on a long trip or to a cold area.
TROUBLESHOOTING Operating Problems Symptom Th e camera does no t work. The displays t u r n of f suddenly. Th e shutter speed and aperture setting blin k. Th e subject cannot b e focused on . Cause The power is OFF. The batteries are loaded incorrectly.
Symptom The camera doesn't focus on the subject even though the AF illuminator lights. The shutter doesn't release even when the shutter release button i s pressed. The flash doesn't f i r e Th e zooming speed does not get faster even w he n the zoom button is fully depressed.
Symptom Th e subjects' eyes appear red i n printed pictures. The subject was within the frame of the viewfinder, bu t its edges a re missing o n the print. Th e film is scratched. The picture is ou t of focus. The picture is to o dark. Cause This "red-eye phenomenon" occurs with all cameras when a flash is used.
QUESTIONS A N D ANSWERS Q: How lon g w ill the batteries last? A : T w o n ew 3 V lithium batteries will exposure film on which t he flash w a s used on half of all t he shots (det ermi ned under Olym pus t est conditions). If you do no t u se the flash and zoom ve r y oft en, the batteries wil l last much longer.
