Effects of zoom and its advantages  
100 mm or more  
A zoom is a lens with a focal length that changes  
when part of lens moves. In the case of the IS-1,  
any focal length between 35 mm and 135 mm can  
be selected.  
When the lens is set to the maximum focal length  
of 135 mm, magnification is approximately four  
times greater than at 35 mm, enabling you to  
obtain genuine telephoto photographs. As you  
increase the telephoto effect, perspective becomes  
narrow, and depth of field becomes more shallow.  
That means that objects in front of and behind  
your subject are more likely to be out of focus.  
This can have an interesting effect on snapshots  
and portraits.  
Maximum telephoto lengths are particularly  
useful for taking pictures at sporting events and  
for nature photography when you want to get  
closer to your subject.  
35 mm Wide  
Because the peripheral angle of view is wide and  
the depth of field is greater, sharp photographs  
with clear perspective and contrast can be  
obtained.  
70 mm  
With 70 mm zooming, subjects appear close  
up—two times closer than when the lens is posi-  
tioned at 35 mm.

*The five pictures below are samples taken by a photographer using  
the zoom lens. Notice the dimensions of the subject as the camera  
zooms in. The three pictures on the right were taken without chang-  
ing the subject's size. Notice how the background and foreground  
tend to blur at increased focal lengths.  
*Be sure to hold the camera firmly, as pictures tend to blur more  
easily at longer focal lengths.  
Angle of view and depth of field  
Angle of view is directly related to the focal depth of field. (the dis-  
tance the camera is able to focus in front of and behind the subject).  
The greater the angle of view (wide angle), the greater the depth of field.  
When the angle of view is narrow (telephoto), depth of field decreases.  
The use of a converter lens (optional)  
It is possible to attach a converter lens for an even wider angle  
effect, or for additional telephoto power.  
*Instead of 35 mm, a wide angle converter (0.8 x ) allows you to take  
shots at an even wider focal length of 28 mm.  
*Instead of 135 mm, a telephoto converter (1.5 x ) allows you to take  
shots at an even longer focal length of 200 mm.

Autofocus (AF)  
The Autofocus (AF) mechanism automatically  
adjusts focus by measuring the distance-to-subject.  
Focusing is accomplished by a TTL (through-the-  
lens) phase-difference detection system. More  
simply, an AF sensor catches the light reflected  
off of the subject, calculates the distance, and  
activates the lens to focus. The IS-1 AF system  
is particularly advanced, because it even works in  
the dark by using an infrared beam of light.  
Autofocus is designed to focus on whatever  
appears in the center of the viewfinder. If you  
wish to position your subject outside the  
center of the frame you can use the focus lock  
(see p. 21). This will also lock the proper  
exposure (AE lock).

Subjects that are difficult to focus  
try using the power focus (p. 47), or try using  
focus lock by focusing on a different subject at  
the same distance.  
Please be careful in situations (4), (5) and (6),  
as the autofocus indicator in the viewfinder may  
light even though the lens is incorrectly focused.  
Although the IS-1 can focus on almost any  
subject, there are certain conditions, such as those  
shown in the illustrations, where it may not be  
possible to obtain correct focus. In such cases, the  
autofocus indicator in the viewfinder will blink to  
warn you. When the autofocus indicator blinks,

Exposure  
Automatic exposure mode  
Program chart (Standard photography mode)  
The chart shown below is a program chart for  
35 mm wide and 135 mm telephoto focal lengths.  
According to the focal length, the program itself  
changes. When the subject is bright, the "F" stop  
and shutter speed change simultaneously. When  
the subject is darker, the aperture opens fully and  
the shutter speed changes to the corresponding  
brightness.  
In the standard photography mode (refer to  
p. 13), if the built-in flash has been popped-up  
it will automatically fire in dark situations. The  
shutter speed will be fixed at 1/100 second.  
Exposure refers to the amount of the light which  
strikes the film and is controlled by a combina-  
tion of aperture size and shutter speed. The  
correct amount of the light, or correct exposure,  
is controlled according to the film speed  
(indicated on the film package, such as ISO 100  
or ISO 200).  
Automatic exposure function automatically sets  
the correct exposure. The IS-1 employs two  
types of automatic exposure modes: (1)  
programmed auto exposure, and (2) aperture-  
preferred auto exposure.  
With programmed auto exposure, the camera  
automatically sets the most suitable combination  
of "F" stop and shutter speed for subjects with a  
certain brightness. It lets you concentrate on  
composing your shot and releasing the shutter  
at just the right time.  
With aperture-preferred auto, you can select  
any "F" stop by yourself, then according to that  
aperture, the camera will automatically set the  
most appropriate shutter speed. Aperture-  
preferred auto allows greater manual control for  
more artistic freedom and expression.

Program chart (portrait mode)  
The chart shown below is a program chart for  
portrait mode.  
tions a professional photographer will adjust for  
exposure compensation or select manual shooting  
mode. The exposure compensation level chosen by  
a professional is usually based on experience.  
The night scene mode of the IS -1 will  
automatically adjust exposure compensation for  
suitable night scene photography. For example,  
when shooting a subject with a night scene as its  
background, the use of flash is often desireable.  
Should that be the case, the camera performs the  
most suitable exposure compensations for both  
the subject and the background. The shutter  
speed may be very slow (up to 4 seconds with  
ISO 100/15 seconds with ISO 25). To prevent  
blurring, the camera should be set firmly in  
position (with a tripod for example).  
The shutter speed will automatically adjust up  
to 172000 second with the aperture fully opened.  
As the brightness increases from there, the aperture  
will begin to adjust. The reasoning behind this is  
that with a larger (more open) aperture, the depth  
of field is reduced. That means that the distanced  
background will be more out-of-focus. At the  
same time, shutter speed is increased to prevent  
camera blur.  
Fill-in flash  
Under strongly backlit conditions the exposure  
may result in a subject that is too dark. The  
IS -1 prevents this unwanted result through ESP  
photometry and spot metering. However, should  
backlighting be extreme, this is not always  
effective enough to compensate. For that, the  
IS-1 employs a Fill-in flash whereby the subject  
is lighted by a flash emission. This lights your  
subject, while maintaining proper exposure for  
the background. Fill-in flash provides an  
iueresting "catchlight" effect where the color of  
your subjects eyes appear vivid and aglow.

Light metering refers to measuring the brightness  
of certain parts of a picture. The IS -1 employs  
three meterings: (1) ESP light metering, (2) center-  
weighted average light metering, and (3) spot  
metering. According to your photographic  
purpose, the IS-1 allows you to select that which  
is the most suitable.  
At the same time, the IS-1 uses TTL (through  
the lens) light metering to automatically measure  
the light that enters the lens. This allows you to  
obtain very accurate light metering without any  
influence due to distance changes between the  
subject and the camera.  
extreme (a portrait with an  
extremely bright background  
for example) the system  
provides excellent results.  
Spot metering  
Spot metering (Fig. B) measures the brightness in  
the central section of the frame only. Because this  
metering system calculates the correct exposure of  
one point, it is convenient when the subject is  
backlit or there is strong contrast in the picture.  
When shooting a subject in front of an extremely  
bright background, you should spot meter the  
subjects face. To make white objects look very white,  
use spot metering and then operate exposure

Exposure compensation and film speed  
Fixed proper exposure  
compensation will make a subject appear darker.  
Under backlit conditions you'll want to make  
your subject appear brighter (+1 to +2EV).  
For shooting winter snow scenes, you may want  
adjust the exposure for additional definition  
(+2EV). Or, suppose your picture is composed  
of a black wall, ( 2EV) compensation would  
most likely be appropriate.  
Proper exposure refers to the balance of light  
and dark in a photo. When shooting a black  
and white wall, the exposure will be based on  
the average ratio of black and white—thus the  
overall exposure is set for grey. This is technically  
called "fixed proper exposure". A good example  
of this is a subject with a strongly lit background.  
The reason the subject turns out dark is because  
there is more brightness than darkness in the  
frame. Therefore, the fixed proper exposure is  
based on the total level of light in the photo,  
which is significantly brighter than the subject.  
In the case of strong backlighting, the exposure  
needs to be adjusted to compensate for  
Film speed  
Film speed is listed on the back of the film  
package. ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400 are the most  
common. High-speed film (ISO 400), as implied  
by its name, is for taking photos of fast moving  
subjects, action shots for example. However there  
are other advantages to high-speed film. With  
high-speed film, such as ISO 400, you are able to  
take pictures in lower light. And the distance  
covered by the flash will be greater.  
The camera is recommended for use of "DX"  
film cartridges, ISO 25, 32, 50, 100, 200, 400,  
800, 1600 and 3200. In the case of non-DX cod-  
ed film, film speed is automatically set to ISO 32.  
Also, films with middle speeds such as ISO 64,  
160 and 1000 are automatically set to the next  
lower speed. When using middle-speed films, use  
the exposure compensation.  
brightness.  
Adjusting exposure to accommodate lighting  
conditions is called exposure compensation.  
When ESP light metering is used, the camera  
automatically judges the light and compensates  
for the proper exposure, so manual exposure  
compensation is not needed.

Flash  
*Flash strength  
High Function Flash G40 (Optional)  
The flash on the IS-1 uses a new exposure control  
system. This flash system combines advantages  
of both "flashmatic", employed in compact  
cameras and "auto flash" which is employed in  
SLRs. Flashmatic emits full - strength flash while  
the camera automatically adjusts the aperture  
level for proper exposure. In most cases this is  
an effective system. However, when the subject is  
at extremely close range, subjects tend to be over  
exposed, and the background too dark because  
the aperture has been adjusted to its most narrow  
setting. On the other hand, auto flash controls  
the amount light emitted by the flash. This system  
decides exposure by measuring reflected light.  
But, depending on the background, exposure for  
the main subject can be affected. For example,  
with a white background, the subject may appear  
too dark due to the level of reflected light  
received through the lens. The reverse is true for  
a dark background.  
The G40 is a dedicated flash for the IS-1 (GN131  
ISO 100 • ft). It is designed for professional flash  
photo - effects such as bounce, multi-flash and  
Follow-synchro.  
Bounce photography uses indirect lighting of  
subjects by reflecting flash light off of a ceiling  
or wall. With straight flash photography a strong  
shadow often appears behind the subject. By  
bouncing, you can obtain a soft, well-balanced  
lighting effect on the entire subject. You can also  
use the built-in flash together with the G40 for  
additional affect.  
Multi-flash emits the light several times in one  
exposure. With this flash mode, continuous move-  
ment, such as a golf swing, can be photographed  
sequentially in one frame. It's a multiple exposure  
with flash.  
With Follow-synchro mode, the flash fires at  
the final point of slow synchro. For example, the  
tail-lights of a moving automobile can be  
expressed.  
The IS-1 employs a combination of aperture  
adjustment and flash strength to give you perfect  
exposure every time. That means that the effects  
of background lighting and distance-to-subject  
are both accounted for.  
When the IS-1 is equipped with the tele-  
converter lens (x 1.5) or the wide - converter lens  
(x 0.8), the built-in flash cannot be used. We  
recommend you to use the G40 for such cases.

Macro photography  
*Wide macro  
IS/L LENS A-MACRO H.Q. CONVERTER  
f = 40 cm (optional)  
The IS-1 is compatible with an optional Macro  
converter. At 60 cm (2.0 ft) distance-to-subject,  
the picture will capture an area of about  
6 cm x 9 cm (2-3/8x3-9/16 inches).  
The built-in flash can also be used.  
When you try to take a picture of someone sitting  
right next to you, the camera may not be able to  
focus properly. In this case, macro mode (wide)  
comes in handy. Wide macro allows you to take  
close up pictures on a wide angle setting (as close  
as 60 cm (2.0 ft) at 40 mm focal length). At the  
same time the autofocus flash can be used. It is  
convenient to use the zoom memory to memorize  
a wide macro setting. And it is particularly  
convenient if you usually use macro mode  
for snapshots.  
*TeIe macro  
Use Tele macro mode to make small subjects  
appear large. With tele macro mode you can shoot  
at a focal length of 100 mm as close as 60 cm  
(2.0 ft) from your subject. At this range, the pic-  
ture will capture an area of about 15 cm x 22 cm  
(5-7/8 x 8-11/16 inches). As with wide macro,
