1. PRELIMINARY STEPS
Pass the smaller loop end of the strap through the
camera’s strap lug.
Next, pass the longer loop end of the strap through
the smaller loop, and pull the longer loop end.

Because straps for cellular telephones, PHS, etc.
are for light devices, be especially careful when
using them.

✻One lithium battery has enough power for taking
approximately 300 shots (Based on our test
conditions).
✻If many rolls of film are used, when travelling, for
example, it is desirable to take spare batteries
(particular in areas where it may be difficult to
obtain batteries).
✻Do not load the cartridge before inserting the
battery.
Slide the battery compartment cover toward the
arrow q, then open the cover in the direction of the
arrow w.
Insert the – side of the battery first then the + side
according to the sign, then close the battery
compartment cover.
✻After changing the battery, be sure to set the date
again. (The method for setting the date is shown

The area visible in the part shown will be printed
when an exposure closer than approximately 1.5 m
is taken.
✻When taking close ups, the area seen through the
viewfinder and the area actually photographed will
be different. (Because the viewfinder and the lens

mark is the criteria for the difference between the
area seen through the viewfinder and the area
actually photographed.
