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.
© A N Y T I M E 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.
