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.
Flip Flash Plus
• This smart-flash system
automatically adjusts to provide the
right light in any situation.

lit outdoor portraits.
Provides softer light for more
natural images for close-ups.

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 preprogrammed 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.

Since it may be difficult to tell if your picture
is in focus on the small Preview Screen,
the camera provides feedback on where it
focused. To use this information:
1. Estimate the camera-to-subject distance.

Beyond 13’ (4 m)
2. Compare your
estimate to the

the preview
screen (12).
3. 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

Select the print quantity
You can select the number of prints,
from 0–9, that you want your photofinisher 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.

Brightness control
You can control the brightness of the
picture on the Preview Screen for indoor
or outdoor settings.
1. Completely lift up the lens cover/
flash (2) to uncover the lens (7)
and to turn on the camera.
• The brightness control is initially set
for indoor viewing.
2. 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/

• The lens barrel automatically returns

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

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
