LOADING THE BATTERY

Use the following lithium battery.
(One) 3V lithium battery. CR2/DL CR2 or equivalent.
One lithium battery has enough power for taking
approximately 300 shots (Based on our test conditions).
If many rolls of Film are used, when travelling, for example, it
is desirable to take spare batteries (particular in areas where it may be difficult to obtain batteries).

With the Advanced Photo System
The date (year/month/day, hour/minute) can be printed on the front and back of the print. Frontprinting, which can be seen when inserted in an album, and backprinting, which is convenient for cataloging. Either can be used depending on the purpose.
Some photo finishers may not support the feature
for printing on the surface.
Changes, such as eliminating the date, are
possible when re-printing. (Some photo finisher's may not support this feature.)
