CAMERA FEATURES
Three Print Formats
•Choose from 3 picture sizes:
Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H),
or Panoramic (P). The masking
inside the viewfinder changes to
match each format selection.

•Don’t 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 lens.
Flash-recycle Time
•Long life and quick flash recharge
times with the lithium battery.
Easy, Drop-in Loading
•Easy, drop-in loading is fast and
virtually error-free. The camera
uses KODAKADVANTIX Film.
The film cassette communicates
the status of film and becomes
the carrier and storage container
for the processed film.

one symbol to another to
identify the status of the film
inside the cassette.

•Hold your camera vertically with
the flash positioned upward to
capture tall, narrow subjects,
such as a waterfall, skyscraper,
or a person.
•Add interest to your picture by
framing it with a tree branch,
a window, or even the rails of
a fence.
•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 to reduce red eyes in
flash pictures.
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 that 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.
•Keep the sun behind you to
provide the 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 an
automatic pop-up flash that fires
when needed. The pop-up flash
helps to minimize red eyes in flash
pictures (see Tips for better
pictures on page 17 ).
1. Slide the lens-cover switch (9)
to uncover the lens (8),
raise the
FLASH (7), and turn on
the camera.
2. Frame your subject within the
viewfinder eyepiece (13).
3. Keep the subject within the
distance range for the speed of
film in your camera (see Flash-
to-subject distance table).
•Don’t take pictures beyond
the maximum distance or your
pictures will be dark.
4. Wait for the flash-ready
lamp (14) to glow green.
5. Press the shutter button (1)
to take a picture.
