BATTERIES

This camera uses 2 AA-size alkaline batteries that supply power for all camera operations. The camera automatically turns off after approximately 3 minutes. You can resume power by pressing any one of the function buttons.

Low-Batteries Warning

It's time to replace the batteries when

the Battery Symbol (21) appears on the LCD Panel (5)
- the film doesn't prewind, or
the camera will not operate.

Battery Tips:

• Remember to keep spare batteries with you at all times.
• 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

For excellent all-around results for indoor and outdoor picture-taking, use KODAK ADVANTIX 200-Speed Film.

1. Turn the Film-Door Latch (13) to the "open" position and insert the film cassette completely into the film chamber ③.
2. Close the Film Door (19).
3. Slide the Lens-Cover Switch (10) to the "open" position to uncover the lens 4 and to start the auto-film prewind. (If the lens-cover is already opened, press the shutter button to start the auto-film prewind.)
4. After the film prewinds, the Picture Counter (22) on the LCD Panel (5) shows the number of exposures remaining (a).

NOTE: After you close the safety-interlock film door, you cannot open the film door until the film is completely rewound into the film cassette.

TAKING PICTURES

You can take Classic (C), HDTV (H), and Panoramic (P) pictures on the same film cassette (see following table for typical print sizes). 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 (10) to uncover the Lens (11) and to turn the camera on ④.
2. Move the Print-Size Selector (8) to the desired format ⑤.
3. Frame your subject inside the viewfinder marks within the Viewfinder Eyepiece (15) for C, H and P formats. For a sharp picture, stand at least 4 ft (1.2 m) from your subject.
4. Partially depress the Shutter Button (1) so that the Camera-/Flash-Ready Lamp (16) glows green.
5. Press the shutter button completely down to take the picture ⑥.

Typical Print Sizes (Formats)

C

Classic	Group & Wide (HDTV)	Panoramic
31/2 x 5" or 4 x 6"	31/2 x 6" or 4 x 7"	31/2 x 10" to 4 x 111/2"
(88.9 x 127 mm or 102 x 152 mm)	(88.9 x 152 mm or 102 x 178 mm)	(88.9 x 254 mm to 102 x 292.7 mm)

Using the Self-Timer

1. Place the camera on a firm support.
2. Slide the Lens-Cover Switch (10) to uncover the Lens (11) and to turn the camera on 4.
3. Frame your subject in the Viewfinder Eyepiece (15).
4. Press the Self-Timer Button (4) and Shutter Button (1) at the same time. The Self-Timer Lamp (7) "blinks" for 10 seconds before the picture is taken.

NOTE: If you want to stop the self-timer operation before the picture is taken, close the lens cover.

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 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 which automatically fires when needed. Wait for the Camera- /Flash-Ready Lamp (16) to glow green, upon partially depressing the shutter button, before you take the picture.

Flash-to-Subject Distance

ISO Film Speed	Flash-to-Subject Distance
100	4 to 11 ft (1.2 to 3.3 m)
200	4 to 15 ft (1.2 to 4.6 m)
400	4 to 22 ft (1.2 to 6.6 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, flash, and meter-cell window to avoid dark or light pictures.

Using Red-Eye Reduction

This camera has an automatic flash that fires when you need it. To minimize red eyes in flash pictures, use the red-eye-reduction feature.

1. Slide the Lens-Cover Switch (10) to uncover the Lens (11) and to turn the camera on 4.
2. Press the Red-Eye- Reduction Button (2). Make sure the RedEye-Reduction Indicator (20) appears on the LCD Panel (5).
3. Have your subject look directly at the Red-Eye-Reduction Lamp (7) located next to the lens.
4. Press the Shutter Button (1) to take the picture.

NOTE: To exit from the red-eye-reduction mode, repress the red-eye-reduction button or turn the camera off by closing the lens cover.

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 Picture Counter (22) on the LCD Panel (5) displays a blinking "0" (b), and a blinking "E" (c) will appear when you remove the film from the camera.

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

Using the Rewind Button

If you don't want to take pictures on the entire film cassette, you can automatically rewind the film by pressing the Rewind Button (3). Once you've used this feature, you cannot reload the same film cassette into the camera.
