2. Betjeningsvejledning

2.1 Tænd/sluk

Locate the power switch, typically positioned near the shutter button. Slide it to the 'ON' position to activate the camera. Slide it to 'OFF' when not in use to conserve battery life.

2.2 Optagelsestilstande

The mode dial on the top of the camera allows selection of various shooting modes:

• Program AE (P): The camera automatically sets both aperture and shutter speed for optimal exposure.
• Lukkerprioritet AE (S): You select the shutter speed, and the camera automatically sets the appropriate aperture.
• Blændeprioritet AE (A): You select the aperture, and the camera automatically sets the appropriate shutter speed.
• Manual (M): You have full control to set both aperture and shutter speed independently.
• Scenetilstande: Pre-programmed settings optimized for specific photographic situations (e.g., Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Macro).

2.3 Fokusering

The camera offers both autofocus (AF) and manual focus (MF) capabilities.

• Autofokus: Half-press the shutter button to activate the autofocus system. The camera will focus on the subject within the active AF area. A focus confirmation indicator will appear in the viewfinderen.
• Manuel fokus: Set the lens or camera to MF mode. Rotate the focusing ring on the lens until the subject appears sharp and clear in the viewfinderen.

2.4 Eksponeringskompensation

Exposure compensation allows you to intentionally lighten or darken your images from the camera's metered exposure. This is typically adjusted using a dedicated button or dial, often marked with a '+/-' symbol. Adjust in increments (e.g., +/- 0.5 EV) to achieve desired results.

2.5 Blitzbetjening

The camera features a built-in pop-up flash. Press the flash button to deploy it. Available flash modes typically include Auto Flash, Fill-flash, Red-eye Reduction, and Flash Off, which can be selected via the camera's controls.

3. Vedligeholdelse

Korrekt vedligeholdelse sikrer dit kameras levetid og optimale ydeevne.

• Rensning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the camera body. For the lens, use a specialized lens brush to remove dust, followed by a lens cleaning solution applied to a microfiber cloth. Avoid touching the lens surface directly with your fingers.
• Opbevaring: Store the camera in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
• Filmhåndtering: Always load and unload film in subdued light to prevent accidental exposure and fogging of the film.
