press 3 To focus on the subject, gently. the shutter button halfway, slowly and When the subject is in focus, the green lamp lights steadily. ~ How to use the shutter button (P. 57)

Green lamp

To start shooting, press the shutter button gently all the way (fully). When the orange lamp lights, the flash fires automatically when required. The card access lamp blinks and the camera begins storing pictures on the card.
Never open the card cover, eject the card, remove the batteries, or disconnect an optional AC adapter when the card access lamp is blinking. Doing so could destroy stored pictures and prevent storage of pictures you have just taken.

Press the shutter button gently using the ball of your finger. If it is pressed hard, the camera may move and pictures may come out blurred. Recorded pictures will be saved in the card regardless of whether the camera is turned off or the batteries are replaced or removed. Never open the card cover, eject the card, remove the batteries, or pull the plug when the card access lamp is blinking. Doing so could destroy stored pictures and prevent storage of pictures you have just taken.
Taking still pictures while using the monitor
With the monitor, you can shoot while checking the picture area that the camera actually records. It is also possible to check information such as memory gauge, aperture or shutter speed, etc.
Comparison of the viewfinder & monitor
Viewfinder Advantage: Camera movement does not occur easily and subjects can be seen clearly even in bright places. Little battery power is used. Disadvantage: When close to a subject, the image in the viewfinder is a little different from the picture that the camera actually records. Tips: Use the viewfinder for general snapshots (landscape pictures, casual shots, etc.) or when taking several pictures in a row.
Monitor Advantage: You can check the picture area that the camera actually records. Disadvantage: Camera movement can occur easily and subjects may be difficult to see in bright/dark places. The monitor uses more battery power than the viewfinder. Tips: Use the monitor when you need to know the exact area the camera records, or to shoot a subject 80 cm (2.6 ft) or closer (macro shooting).
The camera records a wider area than the image in the viewfinder. As you get closer to the subject, the actual image recorded becomes lower than the one in the viewfinder (see left).
Striped area: Picture that the camera actually records.

The factory default setting and the available settings differ depending on which shooting mode is selected. See the P, A, S, M or S-Prg column.
The flash does not fire. T Flash does not fire in the following situations: When shooting a bright subject, in the movie record mode, in the mode (P. 90), during sequential shooting ( *, *, BKT) (P. 92), when FUNCTION is set to WHITE BOARD/BLACK BOARD (P. 100), during Panorama shooting (P. 96).

The card memory capacity listed in the table is approximate (P. 103). The number of storable pictures differs depending on the record mode, the cards memory size and whether or not print reserve is applied for the card. The number of storable pictures may not be reduced every time a picture is taken, or increased when a picture is erased. The amount of data varies depending on the subject. When VIDEO OUT is set to PAL (P.166) T If movie pictures are shot with the video cable connected, the maximum recording time may be different from the table on page 103.
The image aspect ratio is normally 4:3. If the aspect ratio is changed to 3:2, the image can be printed without losing the image borders at a photo lab. When 3:2 is activated, resolution is 2288 x 1520 pixels. In the TIFF, SHQ or HQ mode, you can select 3:2. In the (movie) mode, 3:2 is not available. The monitor turns on automatically if this mode is selected. Check the monitor image before shooting.

When 3:2 is selected

ENLARGE SIZE
When ENLARGE SIZE is selected (only possible in HQ or SHQ), the actual 4 million pixels used by this camera can be increased as if they were approx. 8 (3200 x 2400) million pixels. This allows you to make quality prints in larger sizes, such as A3 (11" x 14"/28 cm x 36 cm). However, file sizes also become larger. ENLARGE SIZE is not available in the (movie) mode.
If the SHQ record mode is set to ENLARGE SIZE, sequential shooting ( , BKT) is not possible. ,

ISO sensitivity

The higher the ISO value, the greater the cameras light sensitivity and the better its ability to shoot in low-light conditions. However, higher values also introduce electrical noise into the resulting image, which may make give them a grainy appearance.
In the top menu, select MODE MENU T CAMERA T ISO. Select the most suitable ISO from the options listed below. Press. Press again to cancel the menu. ~ How to use the menu (P. 39) AUTO: Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the lighting conditions and the subject brightness. 100/200/400: 100 is best when you want to shoot clear, sharp images in daylight. With a higher ISO setting, you can use faster shutter speeds with the same amount of light.

This means that if the amount of light from the FL-40 is insufficient (beyond its working range), the resulting pictures may be underexposed.
Using commercially available external flashes

The camera's flash mode will have no effect on the external flash. The external flash will fire even when the camera's flash mode is set to (off). Confirm in advance that the external flash you are using is synchronized with the camera.

Compatible commercially available external flashes
When selecting an external flash, use products which meet the following basic conditions. (1) Some flashes available on the market operate with a high voltage synchro terminal. If one of these is used, it may damage the camera, and/or the camera may not function normally. Contact the manufacturer of the flash you are using concerning the specifications of the flash's synchro terminal. (2) Some flashes available on the market have the polarity of the synchro terminal reversed. In this case, even if the flash is connected, it will not fire. Contact the manufacturer of the flash for more information. (3) Exposures when using an external flash require that adjustments be made on the external flash unit. If an external flash is used in the Auto mode, match it with the F value and ISO sensitivity settings on the camera. (4) Even if the auto F value and ISO sensitivity of the external flash are set to the same conditions as those on the camera, depending on the photographic conditions, it is possible that the correct exposure may not be obtained anyway. In such a case, adjust the auto F value or ISO value on external flash unit or calculate the distance in the manual mode and use it that way. However, generally, the auto F value and ISO value can only be adjusted 1 step and beyond that, exposure compensation cannot be made. (Exposure compensation in the camera is made invalid in external flash photography.) (5) Use a flash which is capable of covering an illumination angle for a 32 mm or larger lens when calculated for 35 mm film. However, in close-up photography with the lens on the wide setting, the bottom of the image may not expose correctly. The ideal is to have a wide angle adapter to fit on the flash and spread the illumination angle so it is wider. (6) Use a flash unit with a flash time of 1/200 sec. or less when using the flash at full strength. For devices with a long flash time, such as a ring flash, a portion of the light emitted will not contribute to the exposure. (7) If a flash unit or other accessory with additional communications functions other than the FL-40 is used, it may not only fail to function normally, but may also cause damage to the cameras circuitry. Do not use such a device.
