Frequently Asked Questions - IS-300 OLYMPUS
How do I load film into the Olympus IS-300?

What type of battery does the IS-300 use?
It uses one 6V lithium battery, type 2CR5. Insert with the correct polarity as indicated inside the battery compartment.
Why is my camera not firing the shutter?
Possible causes: battery drained, film not loaded properly, or lens cap on. Check battery voltage, ensure film is advanced, and remove lens cap. Also check if the camera is in lock mode.
How do I use the built-in flash?
The flash pops up automatically in low light. You can also manually raise it by pressing the flash button. Select flash mode using the flash mode button: auto, fill-in, red-eye reduction, or off.
Can I use external lenses with the IS-300?
