CAMERA FEATURES
Three Print Formats
You can take three different size pictures: Classic (C), Group/ HDTV (H), and Panoramic (P) pictures from the same film cassette. The viewfinder changes to show the selected picture size.
Date and Time 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.
Double Exposure Protection (DEP)
You dont need to worry about accidentally re-exposing your film. Y our camera reads the Film Status Indicator (FSI) on the film cassette to prevent re-exposure.
Picture Quality Information Exchange (PQix)
This camera records vital scene data on the films magnetic information strip and communicates that information to the photo lab to optimize lighting and color for better­looking prints.
3
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.
4
Safety-Interlock 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)
A highlighted indicator advances from one symbol to another to identify the status of the film inside the cassette.

Move close enough to your subject so it fills the view-finder but not closer than 2 ft (0.6 m).
T ake pictures at the subjects level. Kneel down to take pictures of children and pets.
Hold your camera vertically with the flash positioned upward 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 to provide the best subject illumination.

Auto flash
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.

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
Use this mode to balance the flash and existing light exposures to take beautiful pictures of people at sunset or at night. Use a tripod or place the camera on another firm support, and use high-speed KODAK ADVANTIX Film because the shutter speed at night is generally slow.
