Batteries
This camera uses 2 AAA-size alkaline batteries that supply power for all
camera operations.
1. Turn camera upside down.
2. Pull out and lift open the Battery Door (16) located on the side of the
camera.
3. Load the batteries in the battery chamber with the + and - ends in the
positions shown inside the battery door ∂.
NOTE: Insert the batteries into the camera before you load the film.

12
Low-Batteries Warning
It’s time to replace the batteries when —
• the Camera- /Flash-Ready Indicator (12) takes longer than 30
seconds to turn off,
• the LCD panel displays “LO,”
• the film doesn’t rewind, or
• the camera will not operate.
NOTE: If you “replace” the batteries with film in the camera, the picture
counter on the LCD panel will reset to “1.”

13
Battery Tips:
• Remember to keep spare batteries with you at all times.
• Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery
manufacturer.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, recharge or short circuit the batteries,
or subject them to high temperature or fire.
• Store batteries in original packaging prior to use.

14
Loading the Film
For excellent all-around results for indoor and outdoor picture-taking,
use KODAKADVANTIX 200-speed Film.
1. Turn the Film-Door Lever (9) to the “open” position and insert the film
cassette completely into the Film Chamber (14) ∑.
2. Close the Film Door (15). The film will automatically advance to the
first picture and the LCD Panel (11) will display “1.” The display stays
on for 5 minutes, then the camera turns off to save battery power.
NOTE: After you close the safety-interlocked film door, you cannot open
the film door until the film is completely rewound into the film cassette
(see Unloading The Film).

15
Taking Pictures
You can take Classic (C), HDTV (H), and Panoramic (P) pictures on the
same film cassette. Your photo-processing cost will be based on the
format size(s) that you use to expose the film.
1. Slide the Lens-Cover Switch (8) to the “open” position to uncover the
Lens (7), ∏.
2. Move the Print-Size Selector (2) to desired format π.
3. Frame your subject in the Viewfinder Eyepiece (13). For a sharp
picture, stand at least 4 ft (1.2 m) from your subject. Make sure the
Camera-/ Flash-Ready Indicator (12) is off before you take a picture.
4. Press the Shutter Button (1) completely down to take the picture ∫.

Tips for Better Pictures
• Hold the camera steady when taking pictures.
• Keep your pictures simple. Move close enough to your subject so it fills
the viewfinder but not closer than 4 ft (1.2 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, window, or
even the rails of a fence.
• Keep the sun behind you for best subject illumination.

18
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 a built-in flash with
automatic red-eye reduction which fires when needed. When the
Camera- /Flash-Ready Indicator (12) turns off, the camera is fully
charged and ready for picture-taking.
Flash-to-Subject Distance
ISO Film Speed Flash-to-Subject Distance
100 4 to 10 ft (1.2 to 3.0 m)
200 4 to 14 ft (1.2 to 4.3 m)
400 4 to 20 ft (1.2 to 6.1 m)

19
Flash Tips
• Turn on room lights and have the subject face the lights to minimize
red eyes in pictures.
• Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid
flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures.
• Keep your fingers and other objects away from the picture-taking lens
and flash to avoid dark or light pictures.

20
Unloading the Film
After you take the last picture on the film cassette, the film automatically
starts to rewind. When the film is fully rewound, the LCD Panel (11) will
display “0” and “E” will appear when you remove the film from the
camera.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the film cassette from the camera until
the motor completely stops and “0” appears on the LCD panel.
