1. PRELIMINARY STEPS
ATTACHING THE STRAP
Slip the thin cord on the carrying strap through the strap lug on the side of the
camera leaving a loop. Slide the thick part of the strap through this loop and pull
tight. Take up any slack to make sure the strap is securely attached to the camera.
Do not use a strap made for cellular phones or similar electronic products. These straps are
usually too light or weak to hold your camera securely. For safety, use only straps designed for
cameras.

tery as indicated by the ,and .markings on the battery. The battery must be in-
serted the correct way or the camera will not function.

recheck the position of the battery to make sure it fits properly.

10
∗Do not apply excessive force when opening or closing the battery compartment cover.
∗One new lithium battery should be sufficient for approx. 350 exposures (based on our test conditions).
∗When traveling, take extra batteries to provide power for extra exposures. This is particularly important if you visit areas where new batteries may
be difficult to obtain.
∗Check the battery capacity symbol before using your camera. (→p.12)
∗After changing the battery, reset the date to assure accurate date/time recording. (→p.13)

∗When you are finished using your camera, turn the power off to conserve your battery. If the
power supply is left on for more than 7 minutes without the camera being used, the camera will
automatically turn itself off.
Before you turn the camera on, make sure that the lens is not blocked to prevent any interfer-
ence with the lens movement as it extends into its picture-taking position.

12
CHECKING YOUR BATTERY

check the battery capacity indicator on the LCD panel.

will have a DX coding symbol on the film box and on the cassette itself. Information
you will see includes:
A: Number of exposures
B: DX code symbol
C: Film speed (sensitivity to light or ISO rating)
•If non-DX coded film is used, the camera’s automatic exposure system automatically sets itself
to ISO 100.
•Always load and remove film from your camera away from direct sunlight.

∗Make sure the end of the film is correctly threaded onto the spool.
∗If you should pull the film out too far, remove the film cassette and rotate the longer end of the
spool slowly to rewind some of the exposed film and adjust the leader to the correct length to
reach the FILM TIP mark. Be careful not to rewind the leader completely into the cassette.
