CAMERA FEATURES

Three Print Formats

• Choose from 3 picture sizes: Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H), or Panoramic (P). The masking inside the viewfinder changes to match each format selection.

Double Exposure Protection (DEP)

• You don’t need to worry about accidentally re-exposing your film. Y our camera reads the Film Status Indicator (FSI) on the film cassette to prevent double exposures.

Picture Quality Information Exchange (PQix)

• This camera records picture data on the film’s magnetic information strip for the photofinisher to use to obtain better-looking prints.

Easy, Drop-in Loading

• Easy, drop-in loading is fast and virtually error-free. The camera uses KODAK ADVANTIX Film. The film cassette communicates the status of film and becomes the carrier and storage container for the processed film.

Safety-locked Film Door

• The safety interlock on the film door prevents the door from opening before the film is completely rewound.

Look for this logo to be certain that the film you buy is made for this camera.

Look for this logo to select a certified photofinishing service for developing your film and to assure that you get all the features of the Advanced Photo System.

Film Status Indicator (FSI)

• An indicator advances from one symbol to another to identify the status of the film inside the cassette.

Tips for better pictures

• Hold your camera steady by keeping your elbows close to your body when you press the shutter button to avoid blurry pictures.

• Keep your pictures simple. Move close enough to your subject so that it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 2 ft (0.6 m)

• T ake pictures at the subject’s level. Kneel down to take pictures of children and pets.

• Keep the sun behind you to provide the best subject illumination.

• Hold your camera vertically with the flash positioned upward to capture tall, narrow subjects, such as a waterfall, skyscraper, or a person.

• Add interest to your picture by framing it with a tree branch, a window, or even the rails of a fence.

• Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures.

• Turn on all the room lights and have your subject look at the lights to reduce red eyes in flash pictures.

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 is generally slow.

Infinity focus

Capture sharp, distant scenery when you take pictures outdoors during the day.

Nightview
