MONOGRAM
Peel off the desired initials from the sheet
provided
,
and place them in the
RECESSES
on the back of the
camera.
BATTERIES
Your camera uses 4 AA-size batteries (sup-
plied) to power the automatic exposure
control, the camera
motor,
and the elec-
tronic flash
.
To install the
batteries,
sim-
ply follow step 1 on the inside front
cover.
NOTE: If you depress the shutter release
before installing the batteries
,
inserting
the batteries will cause the camera motor
to run for about 3 seconds
.
You can use either alkaline (the type
supplied with your camera) or recharge-
able nickel-cadmium batteries
.
However,
don't mix battery types
.
With a fresh set of alkaline batteries
,
the flash unit on your camera will normal-
ly provide approximately 100 flashes
.
As
batteries gradually lose strength
,
it will
take longer for the ready light to blink
again (recycle) after each flash
picture,
CONNECTOR
and the maximum flash distance (10 feet)
will be reduced. The normal recycling
time for fresh alkaline batteries is 10 sec-
onds.
Nickel-cadmium batteries provide a
shorter recycling time (approximately 7
seconds), and a slightly shorter flash range
(approximately 4 to 9 feet)
.
Fully charged
nickel-cadmium batteries will provide
about 40 flashes before recharging is nec-
essary.
The batteries should be replaced or re-
charged when it takes more than 30 sec-
onds for the flash ready light to start
blinking, or when the camera motor takes
5 or more seconds to eject a print from
the camera.
If you store your camera for a period of
time,
it 's a good idea to remove the bat-
teries
.
