Position subject Indoors, your subject should be within the 2 to 15 foot ash range and, for best results, near a light-colored background. Outdoors, your subject should be at least 2 feet away. The viewnder and liquid crystal displays will help you stay at the right distance. Take picture Slide your left hand through the hand strap and hold the camera as shown (j1) for horizontal pictures. For vertical pictures, see picture k1. Frame your subject in the viewnder and press the shutter button halfway. You should see: The distance to your subject; for example: When you release the button, the camera ejects the picture and the ash immediately recharges. Note: If you have pressed the shutter button halfway and you wish to reposition your subject or yourself, release the button. Make the changes and press the shutter button halfway again. To remove an empty lm pack After you have taken the 10th picture, you will hear 3 chimes to remind you to remove the empty lm pack. To remove the pack, push the lm door release button down.

Viewnder displays When you press the shutter button halfway, displays indicating distance and symbols for good picture or caution appear in the viewnder. When you see the green symbol press the shutter button the rest of the way to take the picture. When you hear a warning tone and see the ashing yellow caution symbol your subject is either too close, too far, or the ash is turned off. For example, the display shows the yellow symbol and the distance 1:
your subject is too close. Release the shut-
Autofocus system When you press the shutter button, sonar waves (at frequencies beyond our range of hearing) are sent to the central part of the scene. A built-in computer measures the time it takes the sonar waves to reach the scene and the echo to return. This measurement is used to provide the correct lens setting.
Be sure the sonar waves have a clear path
to your subject. If an object near the central part of the scene prevents the sonar waves from reaching your subject, the lens focuses on that object, causing your subject to be unsharp.

Audio signals Your camera has three audio signals: a warning tone when the caution symbol appears in the viewnder, beeps that signal the self-timer countdown, and chimes that tell you the lm pack is empty.
Release the shutter button and position your subject within the 2 to 15 foot ash range. If the display shows the yellow symbol and a distance from 2 to 15:
your subject is within range, but the ash
is off. Press the Auto reset button to turn the ash on. *When your subject is beyond 20 feet, the distance display is blank.

Press the up ( ) or down ( ) control button once to remove the indicator bar and turn the signals off:
When the green light comes on, the ash is ready to re. The light will stay on for 20 to 30 seconds. If you wish to take a picture and the green light has gone off, press the shutter button halfway or press the MODE button. You can take the picture when the green light comes on again. The electronic ash is designed to be used for every picture - indoors and outdoors.
Press the MODE button once to return to the full display. You can now take a picture:
Every time you take a picture, your cameras built-in electronic ash blends light from the scene with just enough ash to give you the best possible picture. In bright sunlight, your camera blends the sunlight with just the right amount of ash to soften shadows and to reveal the facial details you expect to see in the picture. In the shade, the ash automatically supplies the additional light needed to produce a pleasing photograph.
To return the camera to fully automatic operation, press the Auto reset button.
Note: The display disappears about every 40 seconds. Lightly press the MODE or shutter button to make it reappear.

Operating instructions 7

In low light (at dusk, in the shade, etc.), the shutter can stay open for as long as 6 seconds after the ash has red, and camera movement can cause the picture to be unsharp. Hold the camera steady or place it on a rm support. Flash range Indoors: 2 to 15 feet. Outdoors: Your subject should be at least 2 feet from the camera. Self-timer To use this feature, place the camera on a tripod or other steady support. If you attach the camera to a table tripod, be sure the camera is positioned over the tripods longest leg for proper support. Frame your picture in the viewnder and press the shutter button halfway to be sure you get the green good picture symbol. Then release the shutter button. Press the self-timer button on the back of control button once to turn on the lighten the camera. You now have 12 seconds to get into your picture. During the rst 10 seconds, the camera will beep and you will see a ashing red light on the front of the camera. Two seconds before the camera takes the picture, the red light will stay on and the beeps will become a steady signal. If you want to stop the 12-second countdown, press either the Auto reset button or the self-timer button.

Guide to better pictures

Bright light sources

If your subject is placed in front of a window in daylight, the cameras photocell measures the bright light, causing your subject to be too dark in the picture. Use the backlighting feature to illuminate your subject without changing the entire exposure. When a bright source of light (lamplight, candlelight, etc.) is in the central part of the scene and in front of the subject, the photocell measures the bright light, causing the subject to be too dark. Move the source of light to one side of your subject.

Temperature

Helpful hints for using the cameras special features
Programmed time exposures
To create the illusion of motion in your pictures when photographing at night: Place the camera on a steady support, turn off the ash, and program the exposure time for 2-5 seconds. The lights of moving cars will appear as streaks of light in your picture. To take a portrait by candlelight: Turn off the ash. We suggest programming the exposure time from 5 to 10 seconds. The resulting portrait will be warm and pleasing. To photograph home interiors in average light: Turn off the ash and start with a programmed time exposure of 1 second. To photograph oodlit buildings, fountains or monuments: Start with a programmed time exposure of 2 seconds. To photograph through glass or window screens: Turn off the ash to reduce unwanted reections in your picture. If the subject is well beyond the glass or screen, use the manual focusing feature as well. To photograph a nearby subject against a scenic background at dusk, sunrise or sunset: Use ash to illuminate your subject properly. A timed exposure of about 2 seconds will give correct exposure of the background.
For better colors, avoid extreme temperatures. When the temperature is below 55F (13C), keep the camera and lm warm. Above 95F (35C), keep the camera and lm as cool as possible. Avoid storing camera or lm in hot places. Keep developing pictures away from hot surfaces. As the picture develops, its image area is dry because the development process takes place inside the lm. It is important not to bend the developing picture during this process.

Developer rollers

The developer rollers inside the lm door (i) must be kept clean to avoid repeated spots or bar patterns on the pictures. Clean the rollers with a damp, lint-free cloth.

To remove ngerprints, breathe on the lens and wipe it gently with a clean, soft facial tissue. Do not use silicone-treated eyeglass tissue.
To photograph reworks: Use the manual time exposure feature. Press and hold the shutter button from the time the reworks go up until they burst in the sky.

20 Features

Sequential pictures
To obtain multiple images of the same scene: Use the self-timed sequential pictures feature for group portraits when you wish to obtain several photographs of the same scene with one press of the shutter button. This feature allows you to be included in the portrait.

Multiple exposures

To take multiple exposures on the piece of lm: It may be helpful to set the same exposure control towards darken, especially if the background is not dark enough. Note: Avoid subject movement while taking pictures.
