CAMERA FEA TURES

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.

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.

Pop-up flash

• The extension of the flash helps to reduce red eyes in flash pictures and hand obstruction in front of the picture-taking lens.

Flash-recycle time

• Long life and quick flash recharge times with lithium battery.

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.

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

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

• 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 it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 3.3 ft (1.0 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 the room lights and have your subject look at the lights. This will help to reduce red eyes in flash pictures.

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 pop-up flash that fires when you need it. The pop-up flash helps to minimize red eyes in flash pictures (see Tips for

better pictures).
