Lithium batteries perform consistently until they suddenly die. · Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer. · Keep battery away from children. · Do not attempt to disassemble, recharge or short circuit the battery, or subject it to high temperature or fire. · Store battery in its original packaging prior to use. 9 LOADING THE FILM For best all-around results for indoor and outdoor picture-taking, use KODAK ADVANTIX 200 Film. 1.

Move close enough to your subject so it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 2 1/2 ft (0.8 m). · Take pictures at the subject's level. Kneel down to take pictures of children and pets. · Hold your camera vertically to capture tall, narrow subjects, such as a waterfall or skyscraper. · Take vertical pictures of a single person at 5 ft (1.5 m) and beyond. · Add interest to your picture by framing it with a tree branch, window, or even the rails of a fence. · Keep the sun behind you for best subject illumination. 15 TAKING FLASH PICTURES In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors in heavy shade or on dark overcast days, you need flash. Your camera has a built-in flash which automatically fires when needed. If the flash-warning/self-timer lamp (18) "blinks," the flash is not fully charged. Wait for the light to turn off before you take a picture. Flash-to-Subject Distance ISO Film Speed Flash-to-Subject Distance 100 200 400 21/2 to 10 ft (0.8 to 3 m) 21/2 to 14 ft (0.8 to 4.3 m) 21/2 to 20 ft (0.8 to 6 m) 16 Flash Tips · Turn on room lights and have the subject face the lights to minimize red eyes in pictures. · Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures. · Keep your fingers and other objects away from the picture-taking lens, flash, and meter-cell window to avoid dark or light pictures. 17 UNLOADING THE FILM After you take the last picture on the film cassette, the film automatically starts to rewind.
