• If the end of the film extends past the film-load mark, gently push the excess back into the cartridge.

5. Lay the film flat between the filmguide rails rotating the film cartridge in the direction of the film-load mark.

• Make sure the film-sprocket teeth (12) show through the holes on the film.

TAKING PICTURES

Flash Every Time

This camera features a flash that fires every time you take a picture—for better, brighter pictures, both indoors and outdoors.
Examples include backlit scenes where the subject is in front of a bright background, or outdoors on a sunny day, when bright sun can cause shadows that obscure eyes or facial expressions.

NOTE:
The flash-recycle time is approximately 5 seconds with fresh batteries.

1. Slide the on/off button (6) to uncover the lens (7) and to turn on the camera.
2. For a sharp picture, stand at least 4 ft (1.2 m) from your subject.
   
   NOTE:
   When taking pictures in dim light or on dark overcast days, keep the subject within the distance range for the speed of film in your camera (see Flash-to-subject distance below).
3. Wait for the flash-ready light (9) to glow.
   
4. Look through the viewfinder eyepiece (10) to compose your picture.
5. Hold the camera steady and gently press the shutter button (1) to take the picture.
   
6. Wind the film-advance wheel (8) until it stops.
   

• Your camera is ready to take the next picture when the flash-ready light is lit.

7. Slide the on/off button to off when you are done taking pictures.

Flash-to-subject distance

Tips for better pictures

• To avoid blurry pictures, hold your camera steady by keeping your elbows close to your body when you press the shutter button.
• Stand close enough to your subject so that it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 4 ft (1.2 m).
• Take pictures at the subject's level. Kneel down to take pictures of children and pets.
• Hold your camera vertically with the flash up to capture tall, narrow subjects, such as a waterfall, skyscraper, or a person.
• Add interest to your picture by framing it with a tree branch, a window, or even the rails of a fence.
• Keep the sun behind you to provide the best subject illumination.
• Keep your hand, fingers, or objects away from the flash and picture-taking lens.
• Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures.

UNLOADING THE FILM

The film will not advance when you reach the end of the roll. You must rewind the film before you open the film door or you will ruin the film.

1. Push the film-rewind button (11) until it latches.
   
2. Unfold the film-rewind handle (17) on the bottom of the camera and slowly turn it in the direction of the arrow.
   
   NOTE:
   There is tension when you turn the film-rewind handle and less tension when the film is fully rewound.
   
   Do not pull on the filmrewind hand or it may break.
3. Open the film door (20) and remove the film.

• The picture counter displays "0."

4. Reload with fresh KODAK Film.
