4. Set the ASA film speed.
5. Load the film.
6. Look into the viewfinder. Compose the picture so that your

lamp blinks rapidly, switch to flash and wait for the flashready lamp to light up.
8. Press the shutter button all the way to take the picture.

Loading the Batteries
These cameras will not work without
batteries. Use two new size-AA 1.5V
batteries of the same brand. We recom
mend using alkaline (LR6) batteries.
Carbon-zinc batteries can also be used,
but their life is shorter. DO NOT use
Ni-Cd batteries.
1 Wipe the battery terminals with a
clean, dry cloth to ensure proper
contact.
2 Push the battery chamber button H
in the direction of the arrow and
open the cover.
3. Load the batteries, making sure to
place them in the correct J 3 order
indicated on the diagram inside the
battery chamber.
4. Snap the cover shut.
Q Opening the Lens Shield
To open the lens shield, push the lens
shield opening switch ® down. When
the lens shield Is closed, it is impossi
ble to shoot. This function prevents tak
ing pictures with the lens shield closed.
Checking the Batteries
Check the batteries before using the
camera.
1. Cover the lens area of the camera
\with your hand and press the shutter
button ® halfway while looking
through the viewfinder.
2 If the viewfinder lamp blinks rapidly,
battery power is sufficient.
3. If the viewfinder lamp does not blink,
replace both batteries with new ones.
Using new alkaline batteries at normal
temperatures, you can shoot:
1. Approximately thirty rolls of 36-ex
posure film without flash; or
2. Approximately five rolls of 36-ex
posure film using flash for each ex
posure.
• Replace the batteries when auto film ad
vance and flash recycling become slower
or stop completely.
Battery power is reduced in very iow tem
peratures (0°C or 32°F), making regular
photography difficult. If you plan to take
pictures in cold conditions, keep the
camera warm until just before you shoot. It
is a good idea to carry spare batteries;
keep them warm also until they are
needed. Don't throw away batteries that
have become temporarily unusable
because of cold weather. Once they have
been 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 cor
rode the camera's electrical contacts.
