Battery Tips

• Keep a spare battery with you at all times. Lithium batteries perform consistently until they suddenly die.

• Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer.

• Keep batteries away from children.

• Do not try to take apart, recharge or short circuit the battery, or subject it to high temperature or fire.

• Store batteries in their original packaging prior to use.

2. Hold the camera steady.

Be careful not to cover the flash, lens, and

E D O M

auto-focus windows with your fingers.

3. Look through the Viewfinder Eyepiece (15) and center

the auto-focus brackets on your subject. For a sharp picture, stand at least 0.8 m from your subject. When your subject is within 0.8 to 1.2 m from the camera, position the subject below the top format/panoramic indicators.

Printing Panoramic Format Pictures

If you took panoramic pictures on the entire roll of film, ask the processing-lab clerk to print the film only in the panoramic format. If there are panoramic and normal format pictures on the film, ask the clerk to print the film in both the normal and panoramic formats. (Normal format prints are 88.9 x 127 mm or 102 x 152 mm, whereas panoramic format prints are 88.9 x 254 mm.) You may want to consult the processing lab for development time and cost, and don’t forget to check the optional panoramic box on the photofinishing envelope.

Using the Focus Lock

This camera automatically focuses on whatever is within the auto-focus brackets of the viewfinder eyepiece. If you want to take a picture with the subject positioned outside of the auto-focus brackets, use the auto-focus lock as follows:

1. Place the auto-focus brackets on the subject you want focused in the picture.

Taking Panoramic Pictures

(without changing rolls of film, you can switch between the panoramic and normal formats)

The panoramic selection allows you to take wideangle shots, such as large groups, football and baseball fields, landscapes, tall buildings, waterfalls,

etc.

Note to Owners of the Quartz Date and Time Model: Date and time imprinting is not available in the

panoramic format.

1. Slide the Panoramic Switch (14) from normal to the

panoramic position. The Viewfinder (7) changes to show the selected field of view.

2. Partially depress and hold the Shutter Button (1) to lock the focus.

Tips for Better Pictures

• Keep your pictures simple. Move close enough to your subject so it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 0.8 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 waterfall, skyscraper, or 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 best subject illumination.

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 automatic flash that fires when you need it.

1. Press the On/Off Button (2) to turn the camera ON.

2. Keep the subject within the distance range for the

speed of the film in your camera (see table below).

Be careful not to cover the flash, lens, and autofocus windows with your fingers.

3. Press the Shutter Button (1) partway down. If the

Flash-Charging Indicator (29) on the LCD Panel (3) “blinks,” the flash is not fully charged. Wait for the blinking to stop and the indicator to disappear before you take the picture.

ON/OFF

4. Press the shutter button completely down to take the picture.

Using the Red-Eye Reduction

Some people’s eyes (and some pets’) can reflect flash with a red glow. To minimize red eye in flash or fillflash pictures, use the red-eye-reduction feature.

1. Press the On/Off Button (2) to turn the camera ON.

2. Press the Mode-Selection Button (4) once to move

to the red-eye-reduction position. Make sure the Red-Eye-Reduction Indicator (32) appears on the LCD Panel (3).

( )

ON/OFF

3. Press the Shutter Button (1) to take the picture.

4. To cancel the red-eye-reduction feature, turn the

camera off or press the mode-selection button to return to the auto-flash/start position.

NOTE: When you take flash pictures using this feature, the camera fires a short flash before the picture is taken. The subject’s eye pupil closes partially to reduce the red-eye effect.

Using the Fill Flash and Flash Off

Fill Flash

backlit subjects can create dark shadows (especially on faces) in high-contrast scenes. Use fill flash to lighten these shadows.

Flash Off

flash, especially indoors where flash is prohibited, such as in theaters and museums, or in dim lighting situations, use flash off. Use a tripod (tripod socket [19]) or place the camera on another firm support.

1. Press the On/Off Button (2) to turn the camera ON.

2. Press the Mode-Selection Button (4) to select fill

flash (29) or flash off (30). Make sure the correct indicator for the selected mode appears on the LCD Panel (3).

Flash Tips

• Turn on room lights and have the subject face the lights to minimize red eyes in pictures.

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

• Keep your fingers and other objects away from the picture-taking lens, flash, and auto-focus windows to avoid dark or light pictures.

UNLOADING THE FILM

DATE & TIME MODEL

SETTING THE DATE AND TIME

The date and time feature enables you to record the date in a choice of four formats: (month/day/year, day/month/year, year/month/day) or time (day/hour/minute) directly onto the film. It features a quartz clock and automatic calendar through the year 2019, including leap years. With the camera held horizontally, the data is recorded onto the lower right portion of the picture; in the vertical format with the shutter release up, imprinting occurs on the lower left portion but positioned horizontally on the picture.

Date and Time Imprinting

Press the Mode Button (b), located on the film door (20), to select the desired data type; then take the picture. Following the exposure, the Print Indicator (a) blinks in the data panel for approximately two-to-three seconds to confirm imprinting.

NOTE: The imprinted data may be difficult to read if the subject area over which it is superimposed is bright or non-uniform. If the data panel is consistently dim, replace the date-back battery (see Replacing the Date-Back Battery).
