✻When using a commercial strap, check the
strength and other properties of the strap.
Because straps for cellular telephones, PHS, etc.
are for light devices, be especially careful when
using them.
Lithium battery to be used: CR123A/DL 123A or
equivalent (one)
Open the Battery Compartment and insert (one) 3V
Lithium battery.

tery.
✻One lithium battery has enough power for taking
approximately 300 shots (Based on our test condi-
tions). If multiple rolls of film are being used such
as for vacation or traveling where batteries may
be difficult to obtain, it is advisable to carry a
spare.

●With taking close-up picture
When pictures are taken at distances closer than
about 1.5m, the information within the range
shown above is not printed.
✻When taking close ups, the area seen through the
viewfinder and the area actually photographed
will be different. (Because the viewfinder and the
lens are in different locations.) The parallax cor-
rection mark is the criteria for the difference
between the area seen through the viewfinder
and the area actually photographed.
( A : Parallax correction mark)

ed, the size of the photograph on the film may be
