LOADING THE BATTERY

Use the following lithium battery.

(One) 3V lithium battery. CR2/DL CR2 or equivalent.

One lithium batter y 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).

Fig. 3

Open the battery cover in the arrow direction as

shown in the figure.

 

Fig. 4

Inser t the batteries straight as shown in the

indications so that they are not at a slant, then close

 

 

the battery cover.

 

After changing the battery, be sure to set the date

 

again. (The method for setting the date is shown

 

on Fig.8)

6

Fig. 5

Check the battery capacity sign on the Liquid Crystal

Display.

 

 

q on: Battery capacity is OK.

 

w on: Battery capacity is insufficient; provide a

 

new battery.

 

e blink: Shutter release will not trip because the

 

battery has no charge; change the battery.

 

Check the battery capacity sign before using the

 

camera.

 

The battery can be replaced even when there is a

 

film cartridge in the camera.

POWER ON/OFF

Fig. 6

Press the power supply button to turn on the power,

Pressing the button once again turns the power

 

 

supply off.

 

When the power supply is left on for more than 5

 

minutes without use, the power turns off

 

automatically.

7

Fig. 7

When the power is turned on, the lens cover opens,

the lens unit extends toward the front and the flash

 

 

unit pops up, setting the camera in a condition where

 

it is ready to take pictures.

 

Do not restrict the motion of the lens cover with

 

your fingers when you turn the power on. Doing

 

so could cause the camera to malfunction.

SETTING AND CORRECTING THE DATE (YEAR:MONTH:DAY/HOUR:MINUTE)

Fig. 8

Turn on the power, then press the DATE button

 

continuously for 2 seconds or longer. This will cause

 

 

the Year display to blink and the camera will enter

Fig. 12

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.)

Switch on the power and press the DATE Button to enable selection of the date mode. The mode display will be recorded during exposure and printed during processing.

With some backgrounds, the date display on the front may be difficult to see.

The front print surface will not be printed when “- - - - - - ” is displayed. The date (Year, Month, Day) will be printed on the rear surface.
