Thank you for purchasing the Canon AF35J/Sprint. This camera’s new fea tures wiii heip make your photography problem-free and wiii give you a wider range of shooting opportunities. One of the most basic things a camera needs to know in order to give you cor rect exposure is the ISO film speed of the film in use. With the AF35J/Sprint, however, you don’t even have to think about what speed fiim you are using, the camera reads the DX code on the fiim cartridge and sets it for you. Another feature previously left out of Canon’s compact cameras is close-up. Flowers will fill your picture frame more fully when taken at a shooting distance of 45cm (1.5 ft.) with this camera’s closeup function. The camera’s other auto functions have

-1 -

proven useful in previous cameras as well. Easy, worry-free photography is en sured by automatic film loading, wind ing and rewinding. Automatic exposure and focus save precious time. And flash opens up indoor and night photography to all. Please spend a few minutes reading this instruction booklet and practicing with no film in the camera. Basic operation is outlined on page 5, followed by more detailed explanations. When reading

these instructions, unfold the front and back flaps of this booklet for easy refer ence to the camera’s parts.

* This product is sold under the name

of “Autoboy LITE” in Japan.

* The illustrations in this instruction

book show only the AF35J, but the Sprint is exactly the same.

Basic Operation

Load the batteries. Open the lens cover. Check the batteries. Load the film. Look into the viewfinder. Compose the picture so that your subject covers

the autofocus spot.

Press the shutter button down halfway. If the red lamp blinks, use flash. If the green lamp blinks, use close-up.

If the green lamp shines steadily and the red lamp is not blinking, press the shutter button all the way down to take the picture.

At the end of the roll, the camera rewinds the film automatically. When

rewind ends, remove the film cartridge and have the film developed as soon as possible.

If the red lamp in the viewfinder ® blinks rapidly, battery power is suffi cient. (If the green lamp shines steadily or blinks, that also means the batteries are good.) If neither the red nor the green lamp lights, replace both batteries with new ones of the same brand.

The number of rolls may change de

pending on the batteries. These num bers are only approximations.

• If the batteries are loaded incorrect ly, the lamp will not blink, so make sure they are correctly loaded.

Battery performance is substantially

reduced at low temperatures (below 0°C or 32°F). Carrying spare batter ies is therefore recommended when using the camera in cold weather.

Keep the camera warm until just before using it and use two sets of batteries, alternately warming each set in your pocket. Don’t throw away batteries that have become unusable because of cold weather. Once they are restored to room temperature, you may be able to use them again.

If you don’t expect to use the camera for about three weeks or longer, remove the batteries so that they don’t leak and corrode the camera’s electrical contacts.

4. Loading the film

Use color or black and white negative film in standard 35mm cartridges. Load the film in subdued lighting only.

Press the back cover latch ® in the direction of the arrow to open the back cover.
