Holding the camera
Hold the camera correctly. Keep fingers and camera strap away from the lens,

camera steady when shooting at longer
focal lengths (telephoto); use both
hands for maximum stability.
— 9 —

*Open the back cover by sliding the back
cover release toward the top of the
camera.
NOTE: Avoid direct light when loading the
film.
This camera is designed to use DX-coded 35mm
film. DX coding is used by virtually all major film
manufacturers. DX coding allows the camera to
identify and set the film speed automatically.
If DX-coded film is unavailable, use ISO
100 film.
Loading the film
— 10 —

Insert the film cartridge. Do not touch
the lens with your finger or the film
leader when loading.
Align the film leader with the film
loading indicator.
— 11 —

*Close the back cover.
—The film will advance automatically and
the exposure counter on the LCD panel will
display the number "1" indicating the first
picture on the roll.
—The LCD panel will also display an "S"—to
indicate single frame advance and either
"AUTO or "AUTO S"—to indicate flash
mode. Either flash mode may be used for
point-and-shoot photography.
—Use the window in the camera back to check
type of film loaded.
—If film is improperly loaded, the LCD panel
will display a blinking "E". In this case, open
the back cover, and realign the film leader.
NOTE: Auto-S will be displayed if the camera
was in Auto-S mode prior to being
switched OFF. In all other flash
mode, the camera reverts to AUTO
when it is switched OFF. (For details
on Auto and Auto-S flash mode,
see pgs. 21 or 23)

when you reach the end of the roll.
NOTE: If you want to rewind the film before
the end of the roll, press the rewind
button with the tip of a ballpoint pen.

—The exposure counter on the LCD panel
counts down as the film is rewinding.
The final reading of exposure counter before
rewinding may be more than the number of
exposure specified for the film.
