When you call, please have your camera available. For warranty purposes, please keep your sales receipt as proof of the date of purchase.ADVANCED PHOTO SYSTEM

• You can select before you take the picture the number of prints (0-9) that you want from the photofinisher. This service is dependent on the photofinishers capability. 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. 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 30 pre-programmed titles (5 languages available) to print on the back of the prints. Flip Flash Plus

• This smart-flash system automatically adjusts to provide the right light in any situation.

Flip flash moves the flash away from the lens to reduce redeye.

Automatically turns on for dimly lit scenes

Automatically provides fill-in light for more sparkle and clarity in harshly lit outdoor portraits.

Provides softer light for more natural images for close-ups.

Provides extra red-eye reduction with the red-eye-reduction mode.

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

Processed negatives Fully exposed Partially exposed Unexposed Mid-Roll Change (MRC)

• You can remove your film in mid-roll and later reload it and continue taking pictures. MRC lets you:

share a family camera in which the members use their own roll of film,

switch between color and black-and-white film,

switch film speeds in mid-roll to match scene requirements, and

organize by dedicating individual film rolls to specific subjects. 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. 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 35 mm cartridge, becomes the carrier and storage container for the processed film.4 CONTENTS CAMERA IDENTIFICATION................ 5 GETTING STARTED ........................... 6 Setting the language......................... 6 Date and time imprinting .................. 7 Date formats .............................. 7 Setting the date and time ........... 7

Tips for better pictures

• Move close enough to your subject so 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.

• 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 red-eye-reduction light to reduce red eyes in flash pictures.

This camera has a motorized-zoom lens that lets you select the ideal lens-focal length for taking pictures. When you turn the camera on, it is initially set to the wide- angle position.

1. Completely lift up the LENS COVER/

FLASH (3) to uncover the LENS (8) and to turn on the camera.

the subject or to the left for wide-angle to zoom away from the subject.

In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors in heavy shade, or on dark overcast days, you need flash. Your camera has an automatic flash that fires when you need it. The special Flip-Flash Plus system of this camera shortens the flash duration in close-up pictures. This enhances your flash pictures and helps to conserve battery life. When you partially press down the shutter button and the flash-ready lamp glows green, the flash is fully charged and ready for taking pictures.

• When the subject is close to the camera, the masking in the viewfinder automatically adjusts for close-ups.
