CAMERA FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Three Print Formats

• You can take three different size pictures: Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H), and Panoramic (P) pictures from the same film cassette. The viewfinder changes to show the selected picture size.

Picture Quality Information Exchange (PQix)

This camera records vital scene data on the film's magnetic information strip and communicates that information to the photo lab to optimize lighting and color for better-looking prints.

Date, Time, and Title Imprinting

• The date, time, and cassette ID number are printed on the back of your prints, which makes it easy to organize pictures and order reprints. You can choose from one of 10 preprogrammed titles (6 languages available) to print on the back of the prints. See your photofinisher for a full description of the available services.

Flip Flash

• The extension of the flash helps to minimize red eyes in flash pictures and prevents hand obstruction in front of the flash. When the flash is closed, it protects the lens and viewfinder.

Double Exposure Protection (DEP)

• You don't need to worry about accidentally re-exposing your film. Your camera reads the Film Status Indicator (FSI) on the film cassette to prevent re-exposure.

Easy, Drop-in Loading

• Easy, drop-in loading is fast and virtually error-free, eliminating blank rolls and double exposures. The camera uses KODAK ADVANTIX Film. The film cassette, unlike the traditional 35mm cartridge, becomes the carrier and storage container for the processed film.

Film Status Indicator (FSI)

• A highlighted indicator advances from one symbol to another to identify the status of the film inside the cassette.

Look for this logo to be certain that the film you buy is made for this camera.

Look for this logo to select a certified photofinisher for developing your film and to assure that you get all the features of the Advanced Photo System.

Date and time

This camera has a quartz clock and automatic calendar through the year 2040. It uses the film's magnetic data-recording capability to record date and time information which your photofinisher imprints on the back of your prints.

LOADING THE FILM

You can load film into the camera with the camera on or off.

1. Turn the camera upside down and move the Film-door switch (17) to open the Film door (15).

• The safety interlocked film door opens only when the film chamber is empty or the film in the camera is completely rewound into the film cassette.

• Insert the film cassette completely into the Film chamber (16).

Make sure the Film Status Indicator (FSI) on the film cassette is at (#1 position) for a new cassette.
- Do not force the film cassette into the film chamber.

1. Close the film door to start the automatic film advance.

2. The Picture counter (35) on the LCD panel (9) shows the number of pictures remaining on the film.

TAKING PICTURES

You can take Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H)^* and Panoramic (P) pictures on the same film cassette. Your photoprocessing cost may be based on the format size(s) that you use to expose the film.

1. Completely lift up the Lens cover/ flash (2) to raise the flash and to turn on the camera.

2. The ISO film speed briefly appears on the LCD panel followed by the date.

1. Frame your subject within the Viewfinder eyepiece (11). For a sharp picture, stand at least 1.3 ft (0.4m) from your subject.
2. Slide the Print-format switch (3) to select the desired format (C, H, or P). The viewfinder changes to show the selected picture size.

See the Typical print sizes (formats) on page 12.

1. Partially press down the Shutter button (1).

1. When the Flash/ camera-ready lamp (10) glows green, fully press down the shutter button to take the picture.

See the Flash/ warning-lamp signals on page 16.

Typical print sizes (forms)

C	H	P
Classic	Group (HDTV)	Panoramic
3.5 x 5 in. or 4 x 6 in.	3.5 x 6 or 4 x 7 in.	3.5 x 8.5 in. to 4 x 11.5 in.
(88.9 x 127 mm or 102 x 152 mm)	(88.9 x 152 mm or 102 x 178 mm)	(88.9 x 216 mm to 102 x 292.7 mm)

NOTE: Your photofinisher generally provides 4 × 6, 4 × 7 , and 4 × 11.5 in. (102 x 152, 102 x 178, and 102 x 292.7 mm) sizes. Some local printers may offer 3.5 × 5, 3.5 × 6 , and 3.5 × 8.5 in. (88.9 x 127, 88.9 x 152, and 88.9 x 216 mm) sizes.

Using the focus lock

This camera automatically focuses on whatever is within the Auto Focus (AF) circle of the viewfinder eyepiece. To get a sharp picture, make sure the AF circle is on your main subject. If you want to take the picture with the subject positioned outside of the AF circle, use the focus lock as follows:

1. Place the AF circle on the subject that you want focused in the picture.

1. Partially press down and hold the Shutter button (1) to lock the focus position.

2. While still partially pressing down on the shutter button, move the camera until your subject is where you want it within the Viewfinder eyepiece (11).

1. Press the shutter button completely down to take the picture.

Tips for better pictures

• Move close enough to your subject so it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 1.3ft(0.4m)
  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, a window, or even the rails of a fence.
• Keep the sun behind you. This provides the best subject illumination.
• Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures.
• Turn on all room lights and have your subject look at the flash to reduce red eyes in flash pictures.

FLASH AND PICTURETAKING OPTIONS

Besides the auto-flash mode (default setting of the camera), you can select fill flash, flash off, infinity focus without flash, and nightview with flash.

Repeatedly press MODEs (20) to select the flash mode that best suits your subject and surroundings or a picture-taking mode that lets you tailor the camera's fully automatic settings.

Flash/camera-ready lamp indicator

When you partially press down the Shutter button (1) and the Flash/camera-ready lamp (10) glows green, the flash is fully charged and ready for you to take pictures.

Auto flash

AUTO

In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors in heavy shade, or on dark overcast days, you need flash. Your camera features an automatic flash that fires when you need it. The flip-up flash helps to minimize red eyes in flash pictures and prevents hand obstruction in front of the flash.

Fill flash

FILL

When in bright sun or when bright light comes from behind the subject, dark shadows (especially on faces) may occur. Use fill flash to lighten these shadows and to add sparkle to your subject's eyes.

Flash off

When you do not want to use the flash, especially indoors where flash is prohibited, or to capture the ambiance of existing light, use the flash-off feature. Use a tripod or place the camera on another firm support, and use high-speed film because the shutter speed in these situations will most likely be slow.

Nightview

In this mode, the camera balances the flash and existing light exposure so you can take beautiful pictures of people at sunset or at night. Use a tripod or place the camera on another firm support, and use high-speed film because the shutter speed at night will most likely be slow.

Infinity focus

Capture sharp, distant scenery when you take pictures outdoors during the day or through windows.

Selecting the flash and picture-taking options

1. Completely lift up the Lens cover/ flash (2) to raise the flash and to turn on the camera.

2. Keep the subject within the distance range for the speed of film in your camera (see Flash-to-subject distance table on page 17).

3. Don't take pictures beyond the maximum distance or your pictures will be dark.

4. Repeatedly press MODEs (20) until the Mode-selector arrow (26) points to the Auto-flash indicator (23). Fill-flash indicator (24) or Flash-off indicator (25), or until the Infinity-focus indicator (28) or Nightview indicator (29) appears on the LCD panel (9).

5. Frame your subject within the Viewfinder eyepiece (11).

6. Partially press down the Shutter button (1). When the Flash/camera-ready lamp (10) glows green, fully press down the shutter button to take the picture.

The flash, infinity-focus, and nightview modes remain selected after you take the picture. To cancel the selection, press MODES to select another setting or close and reopen the lens cover/flash to automatically return to the default setting.
