WARNING

Message to Parents
Thank you for purchasing the Fisher-Price®
Perfect Shot™ 35mm Camera. This camera
has been specially designed for children. It is
much easier for children to use a dual-eye
viewfinder to center their picture subjects. And,
the film compartment is designed to be opened
by grown-ups, so film doesn’t get accidentally
exposed. Please take a few minutes to show
your child how to operate this product properly.

Helpful Hint: We recommend using 400 ASA
film with this camera. 400 ASA film works well
with and without the use of the flash. If you
will be taking all outdoor (non-flash) pictures,
200 ASA film will produce better quality pic-
tures. Other film speeds such as (100 or 1000)
may produce poor quality pictures.
