BATTERY
This camera uses a 3-volt lithium KODAK KCR 2 (or equivalent) Battery
that supplies power for all camera operations. This camera automati-
cally turns off after 1 minute.
Battery Indicator
When the battery symbol (20) “blinks,” you will need to replace the
battery soon. When the battery symbol is solid (non-blinking) and the
shutter button does not operate, replace the battery immediately.

12
Battery Tips:
•Keep a spare battery with you at all times. Lithium batteries
perform consistently until they suddenly die.
• Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the
battery manufacturer.
• Keep battery away from children.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, recharge or short circuit the battery,
or subject it to high temperature or fire.
• Store battery in its original packaging prior to use.

13
LOADING THE FILM
For best all-around results for indoor and outdoor picture-taking, use
KODAK ADVANTIX 200 Film.
1. Slide the film-door latch (16) and insert the film cassette completely
into the film chamber ➌.Do not force the film cassette into the
film chamber.
2. Close the film door (17) to start the auto-film advance. The LCD
panel (10) will show the total number of exposures (b). After you
close the safety-interlock film door, you cannot open the film
door until the film is completely rewound into the film cassette.

14
TAKING PICTURES
You can take Classic (C), HDTV (H), and Panoramic (P) pictures on the
same film cassette (see following table for Typical Print Sizes). Your
photo-processing cost will be based on the format size(s) that you
use to expose the film.
1. Lift the lens cover/flash (2) completely up.
2. Move the print-size selector (4), ➎to desired format.
3. Look through the viewfinder eyepiece (13) and place the aiming
circle (d) on the subject. For a sharp picture, stand at least 21/2ft
(0.8 m) from your subject.
4. Press the shutter button (1), ➏to take a 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 21/2ft (0.8 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 or skyscraper.
• Take vertical pictures of a single person at 5 ft (1.5 m) and beyond.
• 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 flip-up flash
which automatically fires when needed. If the flash-warning/self-timer
lamp (14) “blinks,” the flash is not fully charged. Wait for the light to
turn off before you take a picture.
Flash-to-Subject Distance
ISO Film Speed Flash-to-Subject Distance
100 21/2to 10 ft (0.8 to 3 m)
200 21/2to 14 ft (0.8 to 4.3 m)
400 21/2to 20 ft (0.8 to 6 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, flash, and meter-cell window to avoid dark or light pictures.

20
Using the Rewind Button
If you don’t want to take pictures on the entire film cassette, you
can automatically rewind the film by pressing the rewind button (12).
Once you’ve used this feature, you cannot reload the same film
cassette into the camera.
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 (10)
displays “0” and an empty film cassette symbol (c). When you remove
the film from the camera, the LCD panel displays “E,” (a).
