ATTACHINGTHE 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 to hold your camera securely. Use straps designed for cameras for safety.

LOADINGTHE BATTERIES
Make sure you have the correct batteries for your camera and that they are fresh.
Your camera uses two alkaline batteries (Size AA/LR6) for reliable service.Do not try
to use other types or sizes of batteries and do not mix an old battery with a new one.
It is best to buy two batteries of the same brand at the same time.
To load batteries...
Open the battery compartment cover by pressing your finger against the finger rest and slid-
ing the cover in the direction of the arrow.

21It is important to insert the batteries correctly. Follow the instructions in the diagram on
the insider of the battery cover. Pay particular attention to the position of the ,and -
poles of the batteries. If the batteries are no inserted correctly, the camera will not
operate.

camera.If you have trouble, check the placement of the batteries to make sure they are
properly seated in the battery compartment.

∗Do not apply excessive force when opening the battery cover.
∗Do not load film before insertng the battery into the camera.
∗Make sure that the new batteries are both the same brand and type.
∗Do not use Ni-Cd batteries.
∗Two alkaline batteries should be sufficient for approximately 360 exposures (based on our test
conditions).
∗When traveling, take extra batteries to provide power for extra exposures, particularly important
if you visit areas where fresh batteries may be difficult to obtain.
∗Check the battery capacity symbol before using your camera. (→p.11)
∗At low temperatures, battery capacity is reduced.Warm the batteries, e.g.in your pocket, before
using them.
