in the opposite direction.

Opening and Closing the Film Compartment

To open the film compartment slide the safety lock release in the direction
of the arrow. To close, simply push the cover in and it will snap in place.

Loading the Batteries

The batteries power the exposure meter, zooming system and film drive. Insert 2
new AA size batteries into the battery compartment. Be sure that the + and ­ends of each battery are in the proper direction.
*If the camera will not be used for a prolonged period, remove the batteries and
store them in a dry place. Batteries may leak and damage the camera if left
inserted in the camera for a long period of time.

Checking the Batteries

Turn the main switch to “ON. ”Look through the viewfinder

and push the battery check button. If the lamp in the upper
portion of the viewfinder is lit red, voltage is sufficient for
filming. When the lamp is not lit, replace batteries. *While
the camera has been restored, the battery circuit may not
always work. For best results, always start with fresh
batteries.

Turning the Camera ON & OFF
By turning the dial of the main switch to “ON,” all electric circuits are

connected. A red mark is visible to the left of the dial when the power is
“ON.”AT “OFF” all the circuits are disconnected. As a safety measure, neither
the shutter nor the zooming switch can be operated. At “1”, you can shoot
single frame for animation.*When the camera is not in use for a long period of
time, turn the dial to “OFF” in order to conserve the battery energy.
