CAMERAFEATURES
Triple format selection
• You can take three different
size pictures: Classic (C), Group/
HDTV (H), and Panoramic (P)
pictures from the same film
cassette. The masking inside
the viewfinder changes to
match each format selection.
Doubleexposure protection(DEP)
• You don’t need to worry about
accidentally re-exposing your
film. Your camera reads the
Film Status Indicator (FSI) on
the film cassette to prevent
double exposures.
Pop-up flash
• The extension of the flash helps
to reduce red eyes in flash
pictures and hand obstruction
in front of the picture-taking lens.
Flash-recycle time
• Long life and quick flash re-
charge times with lithium battery.
Easy, drop-in loading
• Easy, drop-in loading is fast
and virtually error-free. The
camera uses KODAK ADVANTIX
Film. The film cassette com-
municates the status of film
and becomes the carrier and
storage container for the
processed film.

3
Film Status Indicator (FSI)
• A highlighted indicator
advances from one symbol to
another to identify the status
of the film inside the cassette.

Tips for better pictures
• Hold your camera steady
by keeping your elbows close
to your body when you press
the shutter button to avoid
blurry pictures.
• Keep your pictures simple.
Move close enough to your
subject so it fills the viewfinder
but not closer than 3.3 ft (1.0 m).
• Take pictures at the subject’s
level. Kneel down to take
pictures of children and pets.
• Hold your camera vertically to
capture tall, narrow subjects,
such as a waterfall, skyscraper,
or a single person.
• Add interest to your picture by
framing it with a tree branch,
a window, or even the rails of
a fence.
• Keep the sun behind you.
This provides the best
subject illumination.
• Stand at an angle to shiny
surfaces like windows or
mirrors to avoid flash reflection
and bright spots in your pictures.
• Turn on all the room lights and
have your subject look at the
lights. This will help to reduce
red eyes in flash pictures.

outdoors in heavy shade, or on

better pictures).
