CAMERA FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Preview Screen

- You can be sure you got the shot when you preview your picture on the Preview Screen.

Print Quantity Selection

- If you are happy with the previewed picture, you can order extra prints, up to 9, with a touch of a button on the camera back. If not, you can select zero prints and take a new picture. The magnetic Information Exchange (IX) technology records the ordering information on the film, so the selected number of each print is produced automatically during processing.

Three Print Formats

- You can take three different size pictures: Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H), or Panoramic (P). The viewfinder changes to show the selected picture size. You can also see how your print will look in the different formats on the Preview Screen and change the format to the one that looks the best.

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.

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 pre-programmed titles (5 languages available) to print on the back of the prints. See your photofinisher for a full description of the available services.

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.

GETTING STARTED

Before you take pictures, you need to load the batteries, set the language, and set the date and time.

1. Compare your estimate to the green icon shown below the preview screen (12).

Illustration of a group of four people posing together, with icons below (no text or symbols)

1. If the icon is different from your estimate, for example, the picture is near but the icon is far, then you may want to take another picture using the Center-spot focus feature (see page 22).

Select the print quantity

You can select the number of prints, from 0–9, that you want your photo-finisher to print. If you are happy with the picture, you can order multiple prints. Selecting multiple prints does not mean that you will use more film. The camera exposes one frame of film for every picture that you take no matter how many prints you order for each frame. If you are unhappy with the picture, you can select "0" for zero and take a new picture. The picture remains on the film and prints can be made from it later, if you change your mind.

1. Press PREVIEW (14) to view the picture. The print-quantity number P"1" blinks.

1. Move the zoom dial (13) to select the print quantity.

2. Press ENTER (16) or close the lens cover/flash (2) to save the print quantity.

Change the print format

You can see how your print will look in the different formats on the Preview Screen and change the format to the one that looks the best.

1. Press PREVIEW (14) to view the picture.
2. Press the print-format button (3) to change the format of the picture to C, H, or P.

1. Press ENTER (16) or close the lens cover/flash (2) to save the format.

- The brightness control is initially set for indoor viewing.

1. Press the brightness-control button (26) to increase the illumination. • Press the button again to return to the other setting.

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 lamp 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 on the camera, it is initially set to the wide-angle position.

1. Completely lift up the lens cover/flash (2) to uncover the lens (7) and to turn on the camera.
2. Look through the viewfinder eyepiece (10).
3. Move the zoom dial (13) to the right to zoom closer to the subject in the telephoto mode or to the left to zoom away from the subject in the wide-angle mode.

1. Partially press down the shutter button (1) until the flash/camera-ready lamp (11) turns green. Fully press down the shutter button to take the picture.

- The lens barrel automatically returns to the wide-angle position after 2 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 features 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 the battery life.

1. Completely lift up the lens cover/flash (2) to uncover the lens (7) and to turn on the camera.

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

- Do not take pictures beyond the maximum distance or your pictures will be dark.

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

2. When the flash/camera-ready lamp (11) glows green, fully press down the shutter button to take the picture (see Flash/warning-lamp signals).

FLASH MODES

Besides the auto-flash mode, you can select auto-flash with red-eye reduction, fill flash, or flash off. Choose the flash mode that best suits your subject and surroundings.

Repeatedly press ENTER (16) to view the choices on the LCD panel (23) and to make your selection.

Auto flash with red-eye reduction

AUTO

Some people's eyes (and some pets') can reflect flash with a red glow. The flip flash and the red-eye-reduction lamp on the camera help to minimize red eyes in flash pictures.

Auto flash without red-eye reduction

AUTO

Use this feature to take pictures of subjects other than people.

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.

Selecting the flash modes

1. Completely lift up the lens cover/flash (2) to uncover the lens (7) and to turn on the camera.

2. Repeatedly press ENTER (16) until the fill-flash symbol (39) and flash indicator (36), flash-off indicator (37), or auto-flash symbol (38) and flash indicator (36) with or without the red-eye-reduction indicator (30) appears on the LCD panel (23).

3. Frame your subject within the viewfinder eyepiece (10).

4. Partially press down the shutter button (1). When the flash/camera-ready lamp (11) glows green, fully press down the shutter button to take the picture.

The fill-flash and flash-off modes cancel when you turn off the camera, select a different flash mode, or when the camera powers down. The auto-flash modes remain selected in these instances.

SPECIAL OPTION MODES

The special option modes let you tailor the camera's fully automatic operation to provide optimal camera settings for infinity-focus, center-spot focus, portrait, or nightview mode.

Repeatedly press MODE (18) to scroll through the selections.

Infinity focus

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

Center-spot focus

Ideal for extremely precise focus control of what you consider the most important parts of your subject in the center of the picture.

Portrait

This selection allows you to take sharp, close-up pictures of people. The camera automatically zooms to provide suitable framing for portraits.

Nightview

Use this mode, to balance the flash and existing light exposure so that you can take beautiful pictures of people at sunset or at night. Use a tripod (tripod socket [22]) or place the camera on another firm support, and use high-speed KODAK ADVANTIX Film because the shutter speed at night will most likely be slow.

Selecting the special option modes

1. Completely lift up the lens cover/flash (2) to uncover the lens (7) and to turn on the camera.

2. Repeatedly press MODE (18) until the mode-selector arrow (35) points to the infinity-focus icon (34), center spot-focus icon (33), portrait icon (32), or nightview icon (31).

3. In the infinity-focus mode, the camera is automatically set for flash off.

4. In the nightview mode, all flash options, except for fill flash and flash off, are available.

5. In the portrait and spot-focus modes, all flash options are available.

6. Frame your picture in the viewfinder eyepiece (10).

7. Infinity-focus mode or nightview mode:

- Simply press the shutter button (1) to take the picture.

Portrait mode:

• Partially press down the shutter button until the zoom lens adjusts for suitable framing.
• Press the shutter button completely down to take the picture.

Center-spot focus mode:

• Place the center-spot-focus circle within the viewfinder eyepiece (10) on your subject.
• Press the shutter button completely down to take the picture.

The modes cancel when you turn off the camera, select a different option mode, or when the camera powers down. The portrait mode automatically cancels after you take the picture.

USING THE SELF-TIMER

Use the self-timer feature when you want to include yourself in pictures.

1. Attach a tripod to the camera tripod socket (22) or place it on another firm support.

2. Completely lift up the lens cover/flash (2) to uncover the lens (7) and to turn on the camera.

UNLOADING THE FILM

Automatic rewind

When you take the last picture on the film cassette, the Preview Screen displays the last picture for 10 seconds and turns off before going into automatic rewind. You can modify the print quantity, format, and title of the previewed image before it goes into automatic rewind. When you press PREVIEW (14) to modify the print, the camera extends the 10 seconds to allow for the changes.

1. Wait for the film to completely rewind into the film cassette and for the motor to stop running.

- When the motor stops running, the film-presence indicator (41) and "0" blink on the LCD panel (23).

1. Slide the film-door lever (17) to open the film door (21).

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

- The FSI on the fully-exposed film cassette is at × (#3 position) and the frame counter blinks "E."

Mid-roll change (MRC)

You can remove your film in mid-roll and later reload it to continue taking pictures. The Film Status Indicator (FSI) on a partially exposed film cassette is set to ▶ (#2 position). When you reload the film cassette into the camera, the camera automatically advances the film to the first unexposed frame. Film can be rewound and reloaded until the last picture is taken. The camera automatically rewinds the film and sets the FSI to ✗ (#3 position) when the last picture is taken.

1. Gently press MRC (19) with the control-

button activator on the camera strap to start the auto-film rewind.
