b) LOADING BATTERY

Only-use lithium 3V CR 123 A. Ni-Cad rechargeable or Carbon-Zinc penlight batteries are not suitable.
- Open the battery cover and follow the battery orientation shown in the battery compartment.
- Replace batteries when flash recharging time becomes too slow (say more than 30 seconds).
- Warning: After use always switch the camera off (see section c), as standby operation can drain the batteries.

c) LENS COVER/POWER SWITCH

1. To turn on camera, slide the Lens Cover/Power Switch (3) to the left. The camera is now ready to take photographs. Also, the "Auto " symbol on the LCD Panel (8) displays steadily, and when film is loaded the appropriate frame number will be displayed.
2. When picture taking is complete, slide the Lens Cover Switch to the right until it clicks fully closed. This will also switch off the camera's power.

d) LCD PANEL, FIG. 2

When the camera is loaded with a battery and the camera is turned ON, the Liquid Crystal Display Panel (Fig 2) will display as appropriate the following functions:

no film loaded; frame counting; " 念 " charging; "auto 念 " (ON and READY); red eye reduction and self-timer.

When the battery door is opened to replace battery, the LCD panel will go blank and the frame counter will reset to zero. For convenience, replace the battery only when film is not loaded.

Fig 2 a) LCD indicates "0" - "No film loaded".
Fig 2 b) LCD indicates "1" which appears after 4th frame advance. This means film is satisfactorily loaded. Camera is now ready for taking the first picture.
Fig 2 c) LCD displays blinking flash " 求" symbol indicating flash is still charging. Camera is ready for picture taking when " 求" symbol stops blinking and displays continuously.
Fig 2 d) LCD displays " " to show that self timer has been activated.
Fig 2 e) Press the multifunction switch (1) and select the function ON . The automatic flash is now switched off and the flash is automatically switched in synchronously on release of the shutter and compensates for shadows, e.g. when the subject is in front of a very bright background (sun, light sky).
Fig 2 f) Switch off the automatic flash when you wish to take photographs in normal daylight. Press the multifunction switch (1) and select the function OFF The shutter is set to fully open in order to ensure the best possible exposure. To take the photograph, press the shutter release (2).

e) LOADING FILM, FIG. 5-6

Use ISO 100, 200 or 400 colour print film with DX coding for best results.

1) Open Lens Cover/Power Switch [see section c] to turn on the camera.
2) Open the Film Door (17) by pushing the Film Door Latch (11) downwards.
3) Insert the Film Cartridge by inserting the top end first, then snap in the bottom. Push cartridge firmly flat so that the film leader lies flat and does not loop upwards (Fig. 5-6).
4) Pull out the film leader until the tip reaches the Film Loading Mark (15) next to the Film Take-up Drum (14).
- Make sure that the film lies flat between the Film Guide Rails (12) and that the perforations are engaged with the Sprocket Wheel (20).

f) TAKING PICTURES — Daylight & flash, FIG. 7

1) Hold the camera firmly in both hands (Fig.7). Be careful not to block the Lens (5), Flash (6), or LED (7) with your fingers or hair.
2) You may hold the camera in horizontal or vertical format (turn the camera so that the flash is on top). Check that the camera's power is ON (refer to section c). The "Auto " symbol on the LCD will light.
3) Remember to keep a minimum focus distance of 1.5m from your subject and compose the picture carefully in the Viewfinder. At close distances part of the image may be truncated in the actual picture, so allow room when you compose the picture.
4) Gently depress the Shutter Release Button fully to take the picture. The film will immediately advance to the next frame ready for further picture taking.
5) The Flash will fire automatically, if required, for correct exposure.
6) At very low light levels the Red-Eye Reduction feature may be required for pictures of people or pets. Hold the Shutter Release Button halfway down for about 1 second to automatically activate Red Eye Reduction and then depress it fully to take the picture. Refer to section g) RED-EYE REDUCTION for additional information.
7) Flash Distance Guide
ISO 100: 1.5 m to 3.0 m
ISO 200: 2.0 m to 4.5 m
ISO 400: 2.5 m to 6.0 m

The range of the flash depends on the film speed you are using. Make sure your subject is positioned within the flash range to ensure proper exposure.

Pictures of people or pets taken at low light levels may exhibit "Red-Eye" effect. The eye pupils appear as red spots in the pictures.

This can be reduced by having your subject look away from the camera or by turning on bright room lights. Additionally this camera is equipped with a Red-eye Reduction feature.

Depressing the Shutter Release Button halfway will turn on a high power Red Eye Reduction LED (10) on the front of the camera. This will cause the subject's eye pupils to close partially, reducing the "Red-Eye" effect.

Red-eye reduction AUTO-S (Fig. 2g) will be most effective when your subject is in the center of the picture.

h) MULTIPLE EXPOSURES, FIG. 2h

This function allows you to take double or multiple exposures. Press the multifunction switch (1) and select the function (ME). Then press the shutter release (2) and take the first exposure. In this mode the film is not wound on, but the camera is ready to take another photograph.

For example:

You wish to combine the clear outlines and details of a sunset with the lights (e.g. streetlights) of a town. Unfortunately, the lights are not yet switched on. This is how you can do it:

Set up your camera, ideally on a stand, sight on your subject and press the multifunction switch (1) and then select the function (ME). Press the shutter release (2) and make the first exposure. As soon as the town lights have been switched on, select the function OFF with the multifunction switch and make the second exposure.

Note: You can make even more exposures on the same negative. To do this, select the multiple exposure function (ME) again before the additional exposure.

i) REWINDING THE FILM

At the end of the roll of film, the motor film advance will stop automatically, and you will not be able to take more pictures.

1) The film will automatically begin to rewind and the frame counter on the LCD Panel will count backwards. The motor will stop automatically when the film is fully rewind.
2) When motor sound stops, indicating rewinding is complete, check that the frame counter reads "0". Open the film door and remove the film for processing.
3) If motor sound is unusually slow or laboured, batteries may need to be replaced.
4) If you wish to wind the film back before the end of the film is reached, press the rewind button (19).
- Warning: Do not open the film door during rewind. Wait until rewinding of film is complete, otherwise your pictures will be ruined.

k) SELF-TIMER

Pre-select automatic shutter (O) release with multifunction switch (1) and press the shutter release to a take picture. After the shutter release (2) is pressed, the self release indicator (7) is illuminated for 8 seconds. Then the display flashes for a further 5 seconds before the shutter is released and the photograph taken.
