CAMERA FEA TURES

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. Your camera reads the Film Status Indicator (FSI) on the film cassette to prevent double exposures.

Flip Flash

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

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 photofinisher 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.

NOTE: You can use the knob on the clasp of the camera strap to actuate the buttons on the camera.

LOADING THE BATTERIES

This camera uses 2 AAA-size alkaline batteries that supply power for all camera operations.

NOTE: Insert the batteries before you load the film.

NOTE: Before you remove the old batteries, close the lens cover/ flash (3) to turn off the camera. When you replace batteries with film in the camera, replace them within 30 seconds or else the picture counter resets to 1.

1. Open the battery door (20).

2. Insert the batteries into

the chamber.

3. Close the battery door.

Low-battery indicator

Replace the batteries when the battery symbol (29) appears in the LCD panel (11).

Battery tips

• Dispose of batteries according

to local and national regulations.

• Keep spare batteries with you

at all times.

• Keep batteries away from

children.

• Store the batteries in their

original packaging prior to use.

• Remove the batteries when you

store the camera for an extended time.

• Do not use rechargeable

batteries.

• Replace both batteries at the

same time with the same brand and alkaline type.

CAUTION: Do not put the batteries in your pocket or in a container that contains coins or metal objects. If the batteries touch the metal objects, they may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.

CAUTION: Do not try to take apart, recharge or short circuit the batteries, or subject them to high temperature or fire.

WARNING: In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water. For additional information, contact Kodak Health, Safety and Environment Information in the U.S. at 1-585722-5151. Customers outside the U.S. can contact their local health care provider.

WARNING: In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks inside the camera, U.S. customers can contact the Kodak Information Center (KIC) at 1-800-242-2424. Customers outside the U.S. can contact their local Kodak Customer Service representative.

Power shutdown

To conserve battery power, the camera automatically goes to sleep after 4 minutes of nonuse. To wake up the camera, take a picture or close and reopen the lens cover. Turn off the camera when it is not in use to further extend the battery life.

3. Close the film door to start the automatic film advance.

• The picture counter (30) in

the LCD panel (11) displays “1.”

interlocked film door, you cannot open the door until the film is completely rewound into the film cassette.

TAKING PICTURES

You can take Classic (C), Group/ HDTV (H)*, and Panoramic (P) pictures on the same film cassette. Your photofinishing costs are based on the format used.

and

AUTO

• Hold your camera vertically 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 AND PICTURETAKING OPTIONS

Repeatedly press the button (16) to select the flash mode that best suits your subject and surroundings or to select a picture-taking mode that lets you tailor the camera’s fully automatic settings.

MODE

Flash/camera-ready-lamp indicator

When the flash/camera-readylamp indicator (15) “blinks” the camera is not ready to take the picture. In the fill-flash mode, the mode-selector arrow (25) in the LCD panel (11) “blinks.” Wait for the lamp to turn off or the modeselector arrow to stop blinking before you take the picture.

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. The flip-up flash helps to minimize red eyes in flash pictures and prevents hand obstruction in front of the flash.

AUTO

Fill flash

When in bright sun or when bright light comes from behind the subject, dark shadows (especially on faces) may occur. Use fill flash to lighten these shadows and to add sparkle to your subject’s eyes.

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.

Nightview with or without flash

Nightview with flash: The camera balances the flash and existing light exposure so you can take beautiful pictures at sunset or night.

Nightview without flash: You can capture the natural existing light of city scenes or fireworks at night.

Use a tripod or place the camera on another firm support, and use high-speed film because the shutter speed at night is generally slow.

Selecting the flash and picture-taking options

1. Open the lens cover/flash (3)

to raise the flash and to turn on the camera.

2. Repeatedly press the button (16) until the modeselector arrow (25) points to the auto-flash symbol (21), fill-flash symbol (22), flash-off symbol (23), nightview symbol (24) with flash or nightview symbol (24) without flash.

MODE

3. Frame your subject within the viewfinder eyepiece (14) keeping your subject within the distance range for the speed of film in your camera (see Flash-to-subject

distance table).

4. Press the shutter button (1)

to take the picture. When you take nightview pictures, press and hold the shutter button for 4 seconds before you release the button.

NOTE: If you release the shutter button before 4 seconds, the nightview setting cancels.

Fill flash and flash off modes remain selected after you take the picture. T o cancel the selection, press the button (16) or close and reopen the lens cover flash to return to the auto-flash mode.

UNLOADING THE FILM

Automatic rewind

The camera automatically rewinds the film into the cassette after the last exposure.
