Holding the Camera (How to press the shutter-release button)
How to hold the camera
Grip the camera in your right hand and look through the viewfinder. Keep your left elbow
propped against your body to keep the camera steady.
How to press the shutter-release button
The shutter-release button of this camera has a 2-step mechanism.
...
Pull out the film-advance lever to the standoff position and press the shutter-release
button lightly stopping about halfway. This operation is called a “Light press.” The
shutter is released when you press the shutter-release button completely down from
the lightly-press position.
...
With a “Light press,” the exposure meter turns on, and the meter-on timer is activated.
The timer on duration is for approx. 16 seconds from the time you remove your finger
from the lightly-pressed shutter-release button, and it is also on for approx. 16 sec-
onds after the shutter is released.
•Moving the camera while pressing the shutter-release button may cause “camera
shake” and result in a blurred photograph. Choose a high shutter speed of faster
than 1/(focal-length-of-lens) second for handheld shooting. Use a tripod and the
AR-3 cable release to eliminate camera shake.
• Do not press the shutter-release button abruptly or sharply. Do a “Light press” with
the bulb of your index finger, then squeeze to press the button slowly to the end to
release the shutter. Pressing abruptly may cause camera shake.
• When the shutter-speed dial is set to “B,” the exposure meter is not activated.
