Removing the Lens

• Never force the lens. If it does not fit, check its orientation with the index
marks. When removing, make sure the lens release is pressed all the way
down.
• Do not touch the inside of the camera, especially the lens contacts and
mirror.

Remove the body and rear
lens caps.
Align the red mounting index
on the lens and camera
body. Carefully insert the
lens into the mount, then
turn it clockwise until it
clicks into the locked
position.
• Do not insert the lens at an angle.
While pressing the lens release,
turn the lens counter-clockwise
until it stops. Carefully remove
the lens.
• Replace the caps on the lens and
attach the body cap or another lens
on the camera.

FILM

Always load or remove the film under subdued light to reduce the
chances of fogging.

Loading the Film

The camera automatically sets the correct film
speed (ISO) with DX-code film.
• Do not use Polaroid Instant 35mm film. Winding problems may occur.
• Do not use infrared film in this camera. The camera's frame counter
sensor will fog infrared film.
• If non-DX-coded film is used, the camera will use the previous roll's ISO
setting. Refer to page 86 to set the film speed manually.
• More than 40 exposures can not be taken on one roll with this camera.
When using 72-exposure film, the camera will start to rewind the film after
40 exposures have been made.
