CAMERAFEATURES
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.
6
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.

2.Insert the batteries into the chamber.
3.Close the battery door.
9
Low-battery indicator

The T60 AF (Auto Focus) camera focuses on the subject that appears in the center of the viewfinder eyepiece. To focus on the subject positioned outside of the center, use the focus lock as follows:
1.Place the center of the viewfinder eyepiece (14)
on the subject that you want focused in the picture.
2.Partway press and hold the shutter button (1) to lock the focus position.
3.With your finger still on the shutter button, move the camera until your subject is where you want it within the viewfinder eyepiece.
4.Completely press the shutter button to take the picture.
17
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 that it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 2.6 ft
(0.8 m) with the T60 AF and
3.3 ft (1.0 m) with the T50 AUTO.
•Take pictures at the subject’s level. Kneel down to take pictures of children and pets.
•Keep the sun behind you to
provide the best subject 18 illumination.
•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 MODE 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-ready- lamp 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.
19
Auto flash AUTO 
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.
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. 20
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 MODE 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.
21
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. To cancel the selection, press the MODE button (16) or close and reopen the lens cover flash to return to the auto-flash mode.
