Taking Pictures

Do not open the back cover until you have used up the

film. Otherwise, the rest of the film will become exposed

and turn white, and can no longer be used.

1 Turn on the camera by rotating the lens ring

to ON.

* The lens barrel extends and the flash charging

lamp blinks and then lights up. (Blinking indicates

that the flash is charging.)

2 Hold the camera, look through the viewfinder

of the camera to frame your desired

composition, and press the shutter button.

* The shutter button cannot be pressed while the

flash is charging.

3 When the sound of the film being ejected

stops, grasp the edge of the ejected film and

take the film out. The film counter decreases in

numerical order, counting down from "10" with

each photo taken. "0" will be displayed when

the film is finished and after the last photo has

been taken.

4 When you have finished taking photos, turn off

the camera by rotating the lens ring to OFF.

If the camera malfunctions, remove the batteries while

the power is on and then reinsert them to reset the

camera.
