CAMERA FEATURES

Three Print Formats

• Choose from 3 picture sizes: Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H), or Panoramic (P). The masking inside the viewfinder changes to match each format selection.

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 double exposures.

Picture Quality Information Exchange (PQix)

• This camera records picture data on the film's magnetic information strip for the photofinisher to use to obtain better-looking prints.

Easy, Drop-in Loading

Easy, drop-in loading is fast and virtually error-free. The camera uses KODAK ADVANTIX Film. The film cassette communicates the status of film and becomes the carrier and storage container for the processed film.

Safety-locked Film Door

• The safety interlock on the film door prevents the door from opening before the film is completely rewound.

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 photoinishing service for developing your film and to assure that you get all the features of the Advanced Photo System.

Film Status Indicator (FSI)

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

Processed negatives

ATTACHING THE STRAP

Thread the strap's shorter looped end under the strap post (17). Pull the longer end through the shorter loop and pull it tight.

NOTE: You can use the knob on the clasp of the camera strap to actuate the buttons on the camera.

LOADING THE BATTERY

This camera uses one 3 V lithium KODAK KCR2 Battery (or CR2 equivalent) that supplies power for all camera operations.

P

Classic	Group (HDTV)	Panoramic
3.5 x 5 in. or 4 x 6 in.	3.5 x 6 in. 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 x 6, 4 x 7, and 4 x 11.5 in. (102 x 152, 102 x 178, and 102 x 292.7 mm) sizes. Some local printers may offer 3.5 x 5, 3.5 x 6, and 3.5 x 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. To focus on the subject positioned outside of the center, use the focus lock as follows:

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

VIEWFINDER

1. Partway press and hold the shutter button (1) to lock the focus position.

2. With your finger still on the shutter button, move the camera until your subject is where you want it within the viewfinder eyepiece (11).

VIEWFINDER

1. Completely press the shutter button to take the picture.

Tips for better pictures

• Hold your camera steady by keeping your elbows close to your body when you press the shutter button to avoid blurry pictures.

• Keep your pictures simple. Move close enough to your subject so that it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 2 ft (0.6 m)
  Take pictures at the subject's level. Kneel down to take pictures of children and pets.

• Keep the sun behind you to provide the best subject illumination.

• Hold your camera vertically with the flash positioned upward to capture tall, narrow subjects, such as a waterfall, skyscraper, or a person.

• Add interest to your picture by framing it with a tree branch, a window, or even the rails of a fence.
• Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures.
• Turn on all the room lights and have your subject look at the lights to reduce red eyes in flash pictures.

FLASH AND PICTURETAKING OPTIONS

Repeatedly press the flash/option button (14) to select the flash mode that best suits your subject and surroundings or to select a picture-taking mode that lets you tailor the camera's fully automatic settings.

Flash/camera-ready-lamp indicator

When the flash/camera-ready-lamp indicator (12) "blinks," the camera is not ready to take the picture. You can take the picture when the blinking stops and the lamp glows green.

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.

Auto flash with red-eye reduction

Some people's eyes (and some pets') can reflect flash with a red glow. This camera features an automatic flash with red-eye reduction, which is the initial default setting for this camera.

Fill flash

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 is generally slow.

Infinity focus

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

Nightview

Use this mode to balance the flash and existing light exposures to 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 KODAK ADVANTIX Film because the shutter speed at night is generally slow.

Selecting the flash and picture-taking options

1. Slide the ON/OFF switch (13) to ON to turn on the camera and to uncover the lens (7).
2. Repeatedly press the flash/option button (14) until the mode selector arrow (26) points to the symbol of your choice or for the symbol itself to appear in the LCD panel (10).

NOTE: When you select red-eye reduction, the auto-flash is automatically set; flash-off is automatically set when you select infinity focus.

1. Keep the subject within the distance range for the speed of film in your camera (see Flash-to-subject distance table).
2. Press the shutter button (1) partway.
3. When the flash/camera-ready-lamp indicator (12) glows green (the exposure and focus are set), fully press the shutter button to take the picture.

NOTE: The flash and picture-taking options remain selected after you take a picture. Press the flash/option button to select a different setting or turn off the camera to return to the auto-flash, with or without red-eye-reduction, default setting.

4. Before the shutter releases, the self-timer bulb glows and then blinks during the ten seconds of countdown.

5. To cancel the self-timer selection before the shutter releases, turn off the camera.
6. The self-timer turns off after the shutter releases.

UNLOADING THE FILM

Automatic rewind

The camera automatically rewinds the film into the cassette after the last exposure.

1. Wait for the camera motor to stop to ensure that the film is completely rewound into the film cassette.
   The picture counter (30) in the LCD panel (10) displays "0."

2. Push the film-door lever (16) to open the film door (19).

3. Remove the film cassette from the camera and reload with new KODAK ADVANTIX Film.
