Attaching The Strap; Activating The Camera; Holding The Camera - Rollei Prego 90 AF Gebrauchsanleitung

Attaching the strap

To attach the strap, simply thread it through its open end
as illustrated. (Fig. 5)

Activating the camera

Press the ON/OFF button to switch the camera on. The
lens cover opens, and the LCD panel comes to life. If you
should not use the camera for three minutes, it will shut
off automatically, and the lens cover will close. (Fig. 6)
Select the desired focal length (= coverage) by looking
through the viewfinder and pressing one of the two zoom
buttons (Fig. 7): The T button shifts the lens forward (1),
towards longer focal lengths. Your subject appears
larger.
The W button retracts the lens (2) towards shorter focal
lengths. Your subject appears smaller, with more of the
surroundings included in the frame. As you zoom in or
out, the LCD shows the focal-length setting in fixed steps
from 28 to 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80 and 90
mm.

Holding the camera

Holding your camera steady during exposure is very
important for really sharp pictures. Above all at longer
focal lengths (Tele), there is increased risk of camera
shake.
Always slip your hand through the camera strap. For
vertical pictures, hold one elbow close to your body, for
horizontal pictures both elbows. Keep your eye close to
the viewfinder and squeeze the shutter release very
gently, without shaking the camera.
For vertical pictures with flash, hold the camera so that
the flash is above the lens.
Note
Take care to keep your fingers, hair or the camera strap
away from the lens as well as the exposure-metering and
autofocus windows.
