4. Press the shutter button.
· Make sure that the camera is not perpendicular to reflective backgrounds such as mirrors or other shiny surfaces.
The flash will be reflected back to the camera and cause a bright glare spot in your picture. The reflected glare may
also cause underexposure. Take pictures at an angle to shiny surfaces to minimize flash reflections.
· For manual flash photography, slide the switch lever of the flash unit to "M", and set the shutter speed between L32
to 90. (If the shutter speed is set between 1/125 - 1/2000, the shutter speed will be set to 1/100 automatically.) The
user-selected shutter speed flashes on the LCD panel, and "100" appears in the viewfinder display. The dot (A) of the
exposure indicator below +1 flashes in the viewfinder display for manual flash photography.
For Ricoh SL-323, follow the instructions for "FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY WITH FLASH UNITS OTHER THAN
RICOH".

32. INFRARED FILM
Always readjust your focus to the infrared focusing mark when using infrared
films and infrared filters. This is necessary because the infrared rays have
longer wave lengths than the visible light rays you see and focus with, and
the camera lens focuses them slightly further back inside the camera.
Therefore visual focusing cannot be accurate without adjustment.

1. Attach the infrared filter and focus on the subject. Read the indicated
distance off the lens barrel. (Fig. 78)
2. Shift that distance setting over to the red infrared index mark. Set the
exposure in accordance with the instructions for the film. (Fig. 79)
33. DIOPTRIC LENSES
The viewfinder eyepiece has a built-in -1 correction lens (suitable for most normal vision). If a dioptric lens is fitted,
you would not have to wear eyeglasses when taking pictures. Slip the lens in the groove of the viewfinder eyepiece.
Dioptric lenses are available in 7 types: -4, -3, -2, -1, +1, +2 and +3.
