Frequently Asked Questions - Advantix C850 KODAK

How to load film into the camera?

Open the film compartment cover by sliding the latch. Insert the KODAK ADVANTIX film cassette completely, with the film status indicator in position 1 (new) or 2 (partially used). Close the cover; automatic advance starts. The frame counter shows the remaining exposures.

How to choose the photo format (C, H, P)?

Lift the lens cover to turn on the camera. Press the photo format selector repeatedly (on top of the camera) to switch from C (classic) to H (group/HDTV) then P (panoramic). The viewfinder frame adjusts accordingly. The default format is H.

How to set the date and time?

Open the control panel cover. Press the DATE button repeatedly until the desired format appears. Use the selection button or zoom barrel to change the flashing digits. Press the enter button to confirm each field. The date and time are printed on the back of photos.

How to use the flash manually?

Press the flash mode selection button repeatedly (on the side) to cycle through modes: red-eye reduction, auto flash without reduction, fill-in flash, flash off. The flash/ready indicator above the viewfinder shows the status (green = ready, red = not charged or subject too close).

How to take a photo with the self-timer?

Set the camera on a tripod or stable surface. Frame your subject, then press the self-timer button (clock icon). The message 'SELF-TIMER' is displayed. Press the shutter button fully; the front indicator blinks for about 10 seconds before the shot.

How to choose the number of prints for a photo?

Open the control panel cover. Press the print quantity button (icon with numbers). The counter shows 'P1' by default. Press repeatedly to go to P2, P3, etc., up to 9. Press the enter button to confirm. After the shot, the number returns to 1.

How to change film mid-roll?

Open the control panel cover. Press the mid-roll film change button lightly (icon with arrow). The film rewinds automatically. When finished, the message 'REMOVE FILM' is displayed. Open the compartment, remove the cassette (indicator in position 2). To reload, insert the same cassette; the camera advances automatically to the first unexposed frame.

How to clean the lens?

Place the lens in front of your mouth and breathe gently to create a mist. Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth (or lens cleaning tissue). Never use solvents or abrasives, and never wipe a dry lens. For the body, use a soft dry cloth.

What to do if the camera does not turn on?

Check that the battery is correctly installed and not exhausted. Open the battery compartment cover on the back, remove the battery and check the pull tape. If necessary, replace it with a new KODAK K123LA lithium battery (3 V). After replacement, the date and time will need to be reset.

How to print a title on the photos?

Open the control panel cover. Press the TITLE button repeatedly until 'TITLE/SHOT?' for a single photo or 'TITLE/ROLL?' for the entire roll appears. Use the zoom barrel or selection button to choose from 30 titles (e.g., 'VACATION', 'WEDDING', 'BIRTHDAY'). Press the enter button to confirm. The title will be printed on the back by the APS lab.

ADVANCED PHOTO SYSTEM FEATURES AVAILABLE WITH THIS CAMERA

Print Quantity Selection

- 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.

Automatic Energy Saving Features

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.
• Long flash range delivers brighter light for more colorful distance pictures.
• 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.

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.

Film Status Indicator (FSI)

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

NOTE: Your photo lab will generally provide 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.

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.

USING THE ZOOM LENS

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.
2. Slide the ZOOM-DIAL LEVER (1) to the right for telephoto to zoom closer to

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

1. Look through the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE (14).

1. Press the SHUTTER BUTTON (2) halfway down.

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

1. Fully depress the shutter button to take the picture.

- The lens barrel automatically returns to the wide-angle position after approximately 2 12 minutes.

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 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.

Red-eye reduction

Some people's eyes (and some pets') can reflect flash with a red glow. The extended flash and the red-eye-reduction light on the camera help to minimize red eyes in flash pictures. See Tips for better pictures on page 15 for information on how you can reduce red eyes in flash pictures.
