ADVANCED PHOTOSYSTEM
FEATURESAVAILABLE WITH
THIS CAMERA
Print Quantity Selection
•You can select before you take the
picture the number of prints (0-9) that
you want from the photofinisher. This
service is dependent on the
photofinishers capability.
Three Print Formats
•You can take three different size
pictures: Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H),
and Panoramic (P) pictures from the
same film cassette. The viewfinder
changes to show the selected
picture size.
Date, Time, and Title Imprinting
•The date, time, and cassette ID number
are printed on the back of your prints,
which makes it easy to organize
pictures and order reprints. You can
choose from one of 30 pre-programmed
titles (5 languages available) to print on
the back of the prints.
Flip Flash Plus
•This smart-flash system automatically
adjusts to provide the right light in any
situation.
– Flip flash moves the flash away
from the lens to reduce redeye.
– Automatically turns on for dimly
lit scenes .
– Long flash range delivers
brighter light for more colorful
distance pictures.
– Automatically provides fill-in light for
more sparkle and clarity in harshly
lit outdoor portraits.
– Provides softer light for more
natural images for close-ups.
– Provides extra red-eye reduction
with the red-eye-reduction mode.

Mid-Roll Change (MRC)
•You can remove your film in mid-roll
and later reload it and continue
taking pictures. MRC lets you:
– share a family camera in which
the members use their own roll
of film,
– switch between color and
black-and-white film,
– switch film speeds in mid-roll to
match scene requirements, and
– organize by dedicating individual
film rolls to specific subjects.
Picture Quality Information
Exchange (PQix)
•This camera records vital scene
data on the film’s magnetic
information strip and communicates
that information to the photo lab to
optimize lighting and color for
better-looking prints.
Easy, Drop-in Loading
•Easy, drop-in loading is fast and
virtually error-free, eliminating blank
rolls and double exposures. The
camera uses KODAK ADVANTIX
Film. The film cassette, unlike the
traditional 35 mm cartridge,
becomes the carrier and storage
container for the processed film.

Tips for better pictures
•Move close enough to your subject so
it fills the viewfinder but not closer
than 2 ft (0.6 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
awaterfall,skyscraper,orasingleperson.
•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 room lights and have your
subject look at the red-eye-reduction
light to reduce red eyes in flash
pictures.
USING THE ZOOM LENS
This camera has a motorized-zoom lens
that lets you select the ideal lens-focal
length for taking pictures. When you turn

FLASH (3) to uncover the LENS (8)
and to turn on the camera.
2. Slide the ZOOM-DIAL LEVER (1) to the
right for telephoto to zoom closer to
the subject or to the
left for wide-angle to
zoom away from
the subject.
3. Look through the
VIEWFINDER
EYEPIECE (14).

16
TAKING FLASH PICTURES
In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors
in heavy shade, or on dark overcast
days, you need flash. Your camera has
an automatic flash that fires when you
need it. The special Flip-Flash Plus
system of this camera shortens the
flash duration in close-up pictures. This
enhances your flash pictures and helps
to conserve battery life.
When you partially press down the
shutter button and the flash-ready lamp
glows green, the flash is fully charged
and ready for taking pictures.
4. Press the SHUTTER BUTTON (2)
