ADV ANCED PHOTO SYSTEM
FEA TURES AV AILABLE WITH
THIS CAMERA

Triple format selection

• You can take three different size
pictures: Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H),
and Panoramic (P) pictures from the
same film cassette. The masking inside
the viewfinder changes to match each
format selection.

Date and time/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 30 pre-programmed
titles (five languages available) to print
on the back of the prints.

Print-quantity selection

• You can select before you take the
picture the number of prints
(0-9) you want from the photofinisher.
This service is dependent on the
photofinishers capability.

Double exposure protection (DEP)

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

Mid-roll change (MRC)

• You can remove your film in mid-roll
and later reload it and continue taking
pictures. MRC lets you:

- switch film speeds in mid-roll to match
scene requirements.

- organize by dedicating individual film
rolls to specific subjects.

- share a family camera in which the
members use their own roll of film.

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.

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 photo lab for
developing your film and to assure that you get all the
features of the Advanced Photo System.

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,
communicates the status of film
and 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.

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
light 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
the camera on, it is initially set to the wide­mode position.

TAKING FLASH PICTURES

In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors
in heavy shade, or on dark overcast
days, you need flash. Your camera has
an automatic flash that fires when you
need it. The special quench-flash
system of this camera shortens the
flash duration in close-up pictures. This
enhances your flash pictures and helps
to conserve battery life.

When you partially press down the
shutter button and the flash-ready lamp
glows green, the flash is fully charged
and ready for taking pictures.
