Holding the Camera Page 3 For horizontal pictures, grip the camera as shown. When positioning the camera for vertical pictures, make sure the flash is above the camera lens. If your fingers block the flash, lens or sensing device, the pictures will be improperly exposed. Using the Camera 1. Slide the lens cover switch down. This will move the cover away from the lens and turn the camera ON. 2. The green "flash-ready" light will come on. If the camera is inactive for period (about one minute), the green light will go out. To reactivate it, gently touch the shutter button (1/2). When the green light glows, push the shutter button all the way (1) to take the picture. 3. To close the lens cover and shut the camera OFF, slide the lens cover switch to the UP position. Indoor and Outdoor Pictures Page 4 Outdoors, the camera will take sharp pictures from 4 feet (1.3m) to infinity. The indoor flash range will vary depending on the film type. Backlighting Backlighting If bright sun is behind the subject (facing the camera lens) the exposure sensing device will be fooled and the picture will come out too dark. To compensate for this, press the "force flash" button (1), and while holding the "force flash" button (1) in, press the shutter button (2). The flash will fire, providing sufficient illumination for proper exposure. Rewinding and Removing the Film Page 5 1.To activate the motorized rewind, slide the rewind switch (located at the bottom of the camera) in the direction shown. 2. Open the film compartment door and remove the film. 3. Close the film compartment door. Care and Storage Avoid wet, damp conditions and extreme heat such as the trunk of the car. Do not touch the camera's viewfinder or flash. Do not touch the lens. This will cause smudges that may affect picture quality. Use a clean, lint-free, non abrasive cloth to clean the lens.
