Note:

• Do Not Use Ni-Cd batteries.

• Always replace both batteries at the same time.

• After the camera is powered on, the battery power level icon will be

displayed on the LCD and will remain on the display when the battery is

full.

• The battery power level icon will blink when the battery power is

running low. Once this happens, please replace the batteries immediately.

• When replacing batteries, remember to slide the Power On/Off switch to

‘OFF’.

• When the camera is loaded with ﬁlm, battery replacement must be done

within 1 minute.

• When the camera is not loaded with ﬁlm and not in use for a long time,

remove the batteries.

Power Save Function

If the camera is not in use for over 250 seconds, the camera will turn off

automatically to save battery power. To re-activate the camera, either press

the Shutter Release button lightly or slide the Power On/Off Switch to ‘OFF’,

then ‘ON’ again.

About the Film Speed

The camera is designed to use DX-coded ISO100,

ISO200 or ISO400 ﬁlm. When the ﬁlm is loaded

properly, the camera automatically sets the ﬁlm

speed to ISO100 with ISO100/200 ﬁlm and to ISO400

with ISO400 ﬁlm by reading the black-and-silver

pattern on the ﬁlm cassettes.

until it latches. The Film Take-Up Spool will

automatically take up the ﬁlm.

6. Slide the Power On/Off switch to the ‘ON’

position (Fig. 11). The LCD will show “1”.

7. Your camera is now ready to take your ﬁrst

picture.

Note: If the LCD panel does not show “1” and/or

the icon is blinking, the ﬁlm may not be

loaded properly. Please open the Film Compartment

Door and repeat the ﬁlm loading procedures.

Taking photographs

1. Slide the Power On/Off switch to the ‘ON’ position to turn on the camera

(Fig. 11).

2. Hold the camera steady with both hands. Be careful not to block the Lens,

Flash and Flash Sensor with your ﬁngers or hair.

3. Look through the Viewﬁnder Eyepiece and center the main subject in the

Viewﬁnder. To ensure sharp pictures, make sure your subject is at least

4.92ft. (1.5m) away from the camera.

4. To compose your picture using the power zoom feature, simply press one

of the power zoom buttons. By pressing the Tele Power Zoom button,

marked with “T”, the lens will extend outward toward the 70mm telephoto

setting to allow you to zoom in on your subject. By pressing the Wide

Power Zoom button, marked with “W”, the lens will retract back into the

camera toward the 35mm wide (normal) setting.

5. Once you have composed your picture, press and hold the Shutter Release

Button to take a picture.

6. The camera will advance automatically to the next frame.

About the Flash

This camera is equipped with a built-in auto ﬂash unit that will automatically

activate and ﬁre in the event of insufﬁcient lighting conditions. The ﬂash

icon on the LCD will blink while charging. The green Flash Ready

Fig.10

Fig.11

515982-00-EN 4 8/12/04, 1:48:13 PM

-5-

LED will remain lit when the ﬂash is ready (recharging usually takes about

10 seconds).

“Intelligent” Flash Interlock

This camera is featured with an “Intelligent” Flash Interlock function. If the

ﬂash is not ready and the lighting level is low, the shutter will not ﬁre even if

the Shutter Release button is pressed. This helps to prevent your pictures

from turning out too dark.

“Smart” Flash Ready Light

This camera is featured with a “Smart” Flash Ready Light that works with

the auto ﬂash unit.

• The green Flash Ready LED will be lit whenever the ﬂash is fully charged

and the auto ﬂash icon will be displayed on the LCD panel.

• Even if the ﬂash is not fully charged, the green Flash Ready LED will

remain lit when the lighting condition is satisfactory to take a good picture

without ﬂash. In this case, the ﬂash icon will not be displayed on the

LCD panel.

• If the ﬂash is not fully charged and the level of lighting is insufﬁcient to take

a good picture without ﬂash, the green Flash Ready LED will not be lit. The

user will not be able to take a picture until the ﬂash is charged, which will

be indicated by a lit green Flash Ready LED.

Depending on the speed of the ﬁlm used, the ﬂash ranges are:

35mm (wide setting)

ISO Flash Range

100 4.9-9.8 ft (1.5-3.0m)

200 4.9-11.8 ft (1.5-3.6m)

400 4.9-13.8 ft (1.5-4.2m)

70mm (tele setting)

ISO Flash Range

100 5.9-8.2 ft (1.8-2.5m)

200 5.9-9.8 ft (1.8-3.0m)

400 5.9-11.5 ft (1.8-3.5m)

Using Red-Eye Reduction

This function makes it possible to minimize the red-eye effect that sometimes

515982-00-EN 5 8/12/04, 1:48:13 PM

-6-

occurs when taking portrait photographs with ﬂash in low lighting conditions.

This feature is activated automatically once the built-in auto ﬂash is activated

and ﬁres, preventing you from forgetting to enable the red-eye reduction

function.

Note: Since the red-eye reduction feature is automatically activated when the

auto ﬂash ﬁres, there is a delay effect of about 1-2 seconds for the ﬂash to

ﬁre in order for the red-eye reduction feature to function effectively. Press the

Shutter Release button and hold the camera steady for 1-2 seconds until the

shutter releases.

Using the Night Portrait Mode

This camera is equipped with a night portrait mode,

allowing you to take a better picture at night or in dark

environments. In this mode, the shutter speed slows

down to 1/4 second and the ﬂash remains on.

1. Slide the Power On/Off switch to the Night

Portrait Mode (Fig. 12).

2. Follow steps 2 to 6 in the section Taking

photographs.

Note:

• When using the night portrait mode setting, it is recommended to mount

your camera on a tripod to prevent the camera from any jittery movement

that may cause blurred images.

• Ensure that the subject remains still for a moment after the ﬂash ﬁres.

• Remember to slide the Power On/Off switch back to the “ON” position

when you have ﬁnished using the night portrait mode.

Using the Self-Timer

This feature allows the photographer to join in on the picture. When using this

mode, the camera should be placed on a steady support (use of a tripod is

recommended).

1. Press the Mode button once, until the self-timer icon “ ” is displayed

on the LCD Panel.

2. Place the camera on a steady support and focus on the subject. Make

sure your subject is at least 4.92ft. (1.5m) away from the camera and use

Fig.12

515982-00-EN 6 8/12/04, 1:48:13 PM

-7-

the tele or wide zooming buttons to compose your picture.

3. Press the Shutter Release button.

4. The Red-Eye Reduction LED will blink slowly for about 7 seconds, and

then blink quickly for the last 3 seconds before releasing the shutter

automatically.

Double Exposure

A double exposure occurs when, prior to development, an exposed piece of

ﬁlm is re-shot with a second image on top of the ﬁrst. This feature allows for

the same subject to appear twice on the same image and is normally used

to create a special effect to your images. When using this mode, the camera

should be placed on a steady support (use of a tripod is recommended).

1. Press the Mode button twice until the double exposure icon is

displayed on the LCD panel.

2. Place the camera on a steady support and focus on the subject. Make

sure your subject is at least 4.92ft. (1.5m) away from the camera and use

the tele or wide zooming buttons to compose your picture.

3. Press the Shutter Release button. The ﬁlm will not advance to the next

frame, allowing you to take a second picture of the same subject on the

same frame of ﬁlm.

4. Press the Shutter Release button again to take your second picture of the

same subject. The ﬁlm will then advance to the next frame, allowing you to

achieve the double exposure effect.

5. The camera restores to normal auto mode automatically.

6. To use the double exposure function again, repeat steps 1 to 4 in this

section.

Rewinding the Film

1. As soon as the end of the ﬁlm is reached, the ﬁlm will rewind automatically.

When rewinding, the frame digits on the LCD panel will count down.

2. To rewind the ﬁlm in mid roll, press the Mid-Roll Rewind button.

3. When rewinding is complete, the motor stops automatically; the frame

digits on the LCD will display “0”.

4. Open the Film Compartment Door and remove the ﬁlm for processing.

Note:

Do not open the Film Compartment Door if the ﬁlm has not been completely

515982-00-EN 7 8/12/04, 1:48:14 PM

-8-

rewound, otherwise the ﬁlm may be ruined.

- Do not attempt to disassemble the camera by yourself;

- Avoid excessive force or impact caused by handling, bumping or dropping;
