Canon Sure Shot Supreme Instructions Manual

To load film into your camera:

1. Open the back cover by pressing the back cover latch [21] down in the direction of the arrow.
2. Place the film cartridge in the film chamber as illustrated.
3. Pull the film leader across the back of the camera until its tip is aligned with the orange index.
4. Ensure the film leader is between the film guides and then close the back cover [18]. The camera will then advance the film.

The camera automatically rewinds the film a few seconds after it reaches the end of a roll. During rewind, the frame counter [14] counts down, and the rewind stops when the roll is completely rewound.

To remove the film:

1. Make sure that the frame counter is on "0".
2. Open the back cover and remove the film cartridge.

If you wish to remove the film before reaching the end of a roll, press the film rewind button [19]. You can use the projection on the neckstrap's rubber pad to press this button.

To use the Canon Sure Shot Supreme film camera, follow these basic steps:

1. Check the remaining battery charge.
2. Install the film.
3. Open the lens cover.
4. Compose your shot so the subject covers the autofocus spot, then press the shutter button halfway.
5. Press the shutter button all the way down to shoot.
6. The camera will then autowind and set for the next exposure.
7. Once the film reaches the end of the roll, the camera will autorewind and autostop.
8. Remove the film.

You should replace the battery when only one bar mark is indicated, or five years after purchase. To replace the battery:

1. Remove the battery cover screws [12] using a precision screwdriver, and then remove the battery cover.
2. Hook your thumb against the side of the battery and lift upward, then pull the battery out.
3. Insert a new lithium battery (2CR, 6 V) as illustrated.
4. Replace the battery cover.

If your Canon Sure Shot Supreme is not turning on or taking pictures, consider the following:

• Lens cover: Ensure the lens cover is fully open, as shooting is impossible otherwise.
• Battery charge: Check the remaining battery charge. If only one bar mark is indicated, or five years after purchase, replace the battery.
• Film loading: If the camera is not taking pictures and a flashing "0" appears in the frame counter, the film has not advanced correctly, and the shutter is locked. Reload the film.
• Flash charge: If the shutter does not release, the flash charge may not be finished. The shutter release is locked until the red mark lights up, indicating the flash is ready.

Pictures from the Canon Sure Shot Supreme may come out blurry due to focusing issues or camera shake:

• Focusing: The subject is focused when you press the shutter button halfway. If you press the shutter button halfway before filling the autofocus spot with the subject, the picture will be out of focus. Also, if the green lamp blinks, it means you are too close to your subject (closer than 0.55 m).
• Camera Shake: To avoid blur caused by camera shake, press the shutter button gently. When disabling flash, if the red mark blinks in the viewfinder, it indicates a camera shake warning, and you should hold the camera steady.

You can open the Canon Sure Shot Supreme film camera in two ways:

• To open the back cover for film loading, press the back cover latch [21] down in the direction of the arrow.
• To open the lens cover, press the lens cover open button [10].

If the shutter button on your Canon Sure Shot Supreme is not working, consider the following:

• Flash not charged: The shutter release is locked until flash charge is finished. Release the shutter after the red mark (indicating flash charge is finished) lights up.
• Lens cover closed: The shutter does not release if the lens cover is closed. Open the lens cover and confirm the display in the frame counter.
• Film not loaded correctly: If the film is not loaded correctly, the shutter is locked and "0" flashes in the frame counter. Reload the film correctly.

You can confirm film loading through the film load check window [22]. If a flashing "0" appears in the frame counter, the film has not advanced correctly. After each picture, the frame counter [14] will increment by one, indicating proper film advance.

The camera does not have a distinct power on/off switch. It becomes operational for shooting when the lens cover is fully open.

Yes, the Canon Sure Shot Supreme has a built-in electronic self-timer. It starts by pressing the self-timer button [2] and provides a 10-second delay before the shutter is released. The red self-timer indicator [3] will blink, blinking faster two seconds before the shutter release.

The built-in flash on the Canon Sure Shot Supreme works automatically. It operates when subject luminance is below a certain level and also functions as an automatic daylight flash when backlighting is detected. When you press the shutter button halfway, the red mark flashes briefly, and after approximately a 1.2 second charging time, it lights up with the green lamp, indicating the flash has finished charging. The camera also features automatic fill-in flash for dim or backlit subjects, ensuring faces are not underexposed. For flash-on photography in any lighting situation, you can attach the rubber flash cap [24] to the exposure metering window [8].

You can check the remaining battery indicator [15] on the frame counter [14] located on the back cover. A new lithium battery shows four bar marks, and the number of bar marks decreases as the battery discharges. The remaining battery charge is indicated at 4 levels on the 4-segment indicator on the LCD panel.

The Canon Sure Shot Supreme uses a Canon ACTIVE auto-focus system. The shooting distance range is from 0.55 m (1.8 ft.) to infinity. The camera focuses when you press the shutter button halfway.

Yes, the Canon Sure Shot Supreme can be used in low light without flash by disabling the flash. However, when doing so, if the red mark (camera shake warning) blinks in the viewfinder, you should be careful to shoot while holding the camera steady to avoid camera shake.

The lens on the Canon Sure Shot Supreme is a Canon 38 mm f/2.8. It has a construction of 4 elements in 4 groups and features spectra coating.
