Frequently Asked Questions - ADVANTIX 1600 KODAK

How to load the film into the camera?

Open the film door by turning the film door lever. Insert the KODAK ADVANTIX film cartridge completely into the chamber. Close the door; the film advances automatically to the first frame and the LCD displays '1'.

How to replace the batteries?

Turn the camera over, open the battery compartment on the side. Insert two AAA alkaline batteries observing polarity (+/-). Close the compartment. Replace the batteries if the flash ready light takes more than 30 seconds to turn off or if the display shows 'LO'.

What to do if the camera does not turn on?

Check that batteries are present and inserted correctly (observe polarity). If batteries are weak, replace them with new ones. Make sure the lens cover is open. If the problem persists, remove the film and reinsert the batteries.

Why does the flash not fire?

The flash is automatic and fires in low light. Wait for the flash ready light to turn off before taking a picture. If the light stays on for more than 30 seconds, replace the batteries. Also check that you are not too close to the subject (minimum distance 1.2 m).

How to select the print format (C, H, P)?

Slide the Print-Size Selector located near the lens to choose between Classic (C), HDTV (H), or Panoramic (P). The format appears in the viewfinder. You can change the format for each picture on the same cartridge.

What does the 'LO' display on the LCD mean?

The 'LO' display indicates low batteries. Replace the batteries with new ones. If you change batteries while film is loaded, the frame counter resets to '1'.

How to avoid red-eye in photos?

The camera is equipped with a red-eye reduction function that emits a pre-flash. For best results, turn on room lights and ask the subject to look towards the light. Avoid taking front-facing photos with a subject too close.

Can I use a film other than KODAK ADVANTIX?

No, this camera is designed exclusively for KODAK ADVANTIX (color negative) films. Do not use slide, chrome, or reversal film as they may damage the camera.

How to clean the lens?

Use a soft, dry cloth, preferably microfiber, to gently wipe the lens. Avoid chemicals and sudden movements. Keep the lens cover closed when not in use.

What to do if the film does not rewind?

Check the batteries: if low, rewinding may fail. Replace the batteries. If the film is stuck, do not force it. Wait until the motor stops completely and the display shows '0' before opening the door. If the problem persists, consult a technician.

• Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, recharge or short circuit the batteries, or subject them to high temperature or fire.
• Store batteries in original packaging prior to use.

Loading the Film

1. Turn the Film-Door Lever (9) to the "open" position and insert the film cassette completely into the Film Chamber (14) .

Taking Pictures

You can take Classic (C), HDTV (H), and Panoramic (P) pictures on the same film cassette. Your photo-processing cost will be based on the format size(s) that you use to expose the film.

1. Slide the Lens-Cover Switch (8) to the "open" position to uncover the Lens (7), .
2. Move the Print-Size Selector (2) to desired format .
3. Frame your subject in the Viewfinder Eyepiece (13). For a sharp picture, stand at least 4 ft (1.2 m) from your subject. Make sure the Camera-/ Flash-Ready Indicator (12) is off before you take a picture.

Tips for Better Pictures

• Hold the camera steady when taking pictures.
• Keep your pictures simple. Move close enough to your subject so it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 4 ft (1.2 m).
• Take pictures at the subject's level. Kneel down to take pictures of children and pets.
• Hold your camera vertically to capture tall, narrow subjects, such as a waterfall, skyscraper, or a single person.
• Add interest to your picture by framing it with a tree branch, window, or even the rails of a fence.
• Keep the sun behind you for best subject illumination.

Taking Flash Pictures

In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors in heavy shade or on dark overcast days, you need flash. Your camera has a built-in flash with automatic red-eye reduction which fires when needed. When the Camera-/Flash-Ready Indicator (12) turns off, the camera is fully charged and ready for picture-taking.

Flash-to-Subject Distance

ISO Film Speed	Flash-to-Subject Distance
100	4 to 10 ft (1.2 to 3.0 m)
200	4 to 14 ft (1.2 to 4.3 m)
400	4 to 20 ft (1.2 to 6.1 m)

Flash Tips

• Turn on room lights and have the subject face the lights to minimize red eyes in pictures.
• Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures.
• Keep your fingers and other objects away from the picture-taking lens and flash to avoid dark or light pictures.

Unloading the Film

After you take the last picture on the film cassette, the film automatically starts to rewind. When the film is fully rewound, the LCD Panel (11) will display "0" and "E" will appear when you remove the film from the camera.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the film cassette from the camera until the motor completely stops and "0" appears on the LCD panel.
