NAME OF PARTS

BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR

Your camera uses one 3-volt CR123A or DL123A

lithium battery to supply power for all camera

operations.

1.Open the battery-chamber door using the

bigger key included on the strap.

2.Insert the battery according the + and –

snap the door closed.

• Quartz Date model: The date and time must be reset

(p. 44).

INSERTING THE BATTERY

2.Extend the film tip to the "FILM TIP" mark,

making sure it lays flat.

3.Close the back cover.

• The film automatically advances to the first frame

and appears in the data panel.

• If the film has been loaded improperly, will blink

in the data panel and the shutter will remain locked.

Open the back cover and repeat the loading

procedure.

1110

Use only 35mm, DX-coded film rated ISO 25 to 3200.

•ISO 400 film is recommended for best results.

• Always load and unload film in subdued light.

• Do not use Polaroid instant 35mm film. Winding problems

may occur.

1.Slide the back-cover release down to open

the back cover, then place the film cartridge

into the film chamber.

•Once the film is loaded, the back cover will lock until

Actual

When taking a picture with the subject closer than

1.6m (5.3 ft.), the viewfinder image and the actual

film image is going to be different. The difference

increases as the subject becomes closer, or when

taking telephoto pictures. At the closest range, the

top of the actual film image is located below the close

framing guide.

Close-framing guide

Viewfinder image

Actual image (shaded area)

•When taking pictures at extremely close distances, the green focus lamp may

blink slowly, but the focus may not be accurate.

• If the green focus lamp blinks rapidly and the shutter locks, the subject is too

close. Be sure your camera-to-subject distance is at least 60 cm (2.0 ft).
