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.

–Flip flash moves the flash away from the lens to reduce redeye.

–Automatically turns on for dimly lit scenes.

–Long flash range delivers brighter light for more colorful distance pictures.

–Automatically provides fill-in light for more sparkle and clarity in harshly lit outdoor portraits.

–Provides softer light for more natural images for close-ups.

–Provides extra red-eye reduction with the red-eye-reduction mode.

3

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.

Focus feedback

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.

2–3 ‘	Near
(0.6– 1.0 m)
3–13 ‘	Middle
(1.0–4 m)
Beyond 13’ (4 m)	Far

2. Compare your estimate to the green icon shown below 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

Center-spot focus feature (see page 22).

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.

Tips for better pictures

•Move close enough to your subject so it fills the viewfinderbut 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/ flash (2) to uncover the lens (7) and to turn on the camera.

2.Look through the viewfinder eyepiece (10).

3.Move the zoom dial (13) to the right to zoom closer to the subject in the telephoto mode or to the left to zoom away from the subject in the wideangle mode.
