ABOUT 1X240 FILM CARTRIDGE
Do not disassemble the cartridge or subject it to shock or
vibration.
Do not soil or damage the data disk of the cartridge. This
can affect the data transfer.
Do not attempt to open the Lightlock Door Drive. This
may expose the
film.
Do not break the Irreversible Processed Indicator (IPI) on
the cartridge. This may prevent processing and printing.
Consult your photo lab if the IPI is broken.
Do not attempt to rotate the Cartridge Spool with a
screwdriver or a pointed object. This can expose the
film,
alter the
VEI,
and prevent processing.
Do not store cartridges:
In direct sunlight, near heating appliances
In dirty or dusty conditions
In hot or humid conditions conductive to mold
Near strong magnetic fields
PROCESSING AND PRINTING
For best results, take film cartridges for processing and
printing to photo labs displaying this Authorized Photo
Lab Mark
sign.
Authorized Photo Labs offer the following processing
services:
Three different print types (C, H and P)
Index prints (mini-prints of all frames on a single sheet)
Negatives Returned in Cartridge (NRIC): negatives are
returned inside the original cartridge for easy storage.
Your Authorized Photo Lab will be happy to supply further
information.
BASIC OPERATION
O Turn the camera on and hold the camera steady with both hands.
Ensure that the lens, flash and autofocus windows are not obstructed
by fingers, hair or the camera strap.
Note:
When taking vertical photographs, hold the camera with the
flash at the top.
© Look through the viewfinder and frame your picture with the subject
covering the autofocus frame marks "o".
© Lightly press the shutter-release button to focus the subject. The
green LED lights up when correct focus is achieved.
Note:
The shutter-release button locks while the flash is recharging.
Note:
Minimum focusing distance = approx. 1.0 m/3.3 ft (at
wideangle setting), or approx. 1.2 m/3.9 ft (at telephoto
setting).
© Fully Depress the shutter-release button to release the shutter. The
flash fires automatically if available light is insufficient. The film advances
to the next frame and the remaining frame count on the top LCD panel
falls by one.
o
USING FOCUS LOCK
O When the subject does not cover the autofocus frame
marks "o", the camera may focus on the background
instead.
© Position the autofocus frame marks directly on the
subject and lightly press the shutter-release button. The
green LED lights up and the focus is locked at this
distance. Keeping your finger on the shutter-release
button,
recompose the original scene. Now depress fully
to release the shutter.
Note:
Autofocus may not focus properly on:
Small subjects that do not cover the autofocus frame
marks
Dark subjects with no reflection
Glossy or reflective surfaces
(e.g.,
water, car panels)
Non-solid subjects
(e.g.,
flames, fireworks)
The main subject when there is a closer secondary
subject
Use focus lock to focus on another subject the same
distance from the camera.
AT THE END OF THE FILM
The film rewinds automatically at the end of the
roll.
Rewinding is complete when the "C" blinks on the top
LCD panel.
Turn the camera upside-down and open the cartridge
chamber cover. Gently remove the cartridge
To rewind the film before the end of the
roll,
push the
mid-roll rewind button with a sharp object, such as a
ball-point pen.
Note:
A film cartridge cannot be reused after being
rewound mid-roll.
Note:
The battery can be replaced if necessary while
the film is still rewinding. Rewinding will resume
when the new battery is inserted.

O FLASH-CANCEL
Flash-cancel mode allows you to shoot without flash in
low-light situations where the flash would normally fire.
Use flash-cancel mode in art galleries and other places
where flash photography is prohibited
Flash-cancel mode is indicated by "(§)" on the top LCD
panel.
Note:
Flash-cancel mode uses a slower shutter speed.
For best results, place the camera on a tripod or
other stable surface.
©ANYTIME FLASH
Anytime flash mode allows you to use the flash in
situations where the flash would not normally fire, for
instance when the subject is standing in the shade or in
front of the sun.
Anytime flash mode is indicated by "J" on the top LCD
panel.

CAMERA CARE TIPS
Always turn
off
the
camera when
not in use.
This prevents
accidental shutter release and associated battery drain.
Avoid extremely hot conditions.
Do not
leave the camera inside
a car,
on the
beach
or
near
a
heater.
Allow
the
camera
to
cool
off
after continuous flash firing.
Intensive flash use can generate heat in the battery and camera
itself.
For
optimum performance
at
low
temperatures (below
0°C/
32°F), keep
the
camera
in
a
warm place such
as
inside yeur
pocket.
The
camera
is a
precision mechanism,
and can be
seriously
damaged
if
hit or
dropped.
The camera
is not
waterproof. Keep
it
away from sea spray
at
the beach
and
never submerge
it
in
water. Should
the
camera
come into contact with water, wipe immediately with a soft,
dry
cloth.
Protect the camera from foreign matter such
as
salt, sand
and
dust. Wipe clean using
a
soft,
dry
cloth.
Use a blower
to
remove dust from
the
lens. Clean stubborn dirt
from
the
lens using
a
soft cloth.
Never use thinner, benzene,
or
other active agents
to
clean
the
camera.
Store
in a
cool,
dry
place
to
prevent mold, well away from
chemicals such as camphor and naphthalene. For best results,
store together with
a
desiccating agent.
When the camera
is not
used
tor
a prolonged period, take
it out
occasionally and release
the
shutter and fire
the
flash.
BATTERIES
Battery power may weaken when the temperature drops below
0°C732°F
but
will recover
as the
camera reaches normal
temperature.
Do not
throw used batteries into
the
fire,
or
attempt
to
short
circuit, disassemble
or
heat batteries.
Keep batteries
out of
reach
of
small children.
