LOADING THE BATTERY
This camera uses a 3-volt lithium KODAK K123LA
(or equivalent) Battery that supplies power for all
camera operations.
NOTE: This camera automatically turns off after
approximately 3 minutes to conserve battery
energy.
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 batteries away from children.
• Do not try to take apart, recharge or short circuit the
battery, or subject it to high temperature or fire.
• Store batteries in their original packaging prior to
use.
Low-Battery Indicator
It’s time to replace the battery when—
• the Battery Symbol (31) appears on the LCD
Panel (3).
• the battery symbol on the LCD panel “blinks.”
• none of the indicators appear on the LCD panel.
LOADING THE FILM
If in sunlight, turn your back to the sun and load the
film in the shade of your body.
1. Slide the Film-Door Latch (9) down to open the Film
Door (20).
2. Insert the flat end of the film cartridge over the Film
Spindle (25). Push the other end of the film
cartridge down into the Film Chamber (24) until it
snaps into place. Do not force it into the film

Panel (3) blinks “0,” the film is not loaded correctly.
Open the film door and reload the film.

Using the Focus Lock
This camera automatically focuses on whatever is
within the auto-focus brackets of the viewfinder
eyepiece. If you want to take a picture with the subject
positioned outside of the auto-focus brackets, use the
auto-focus lock as follows:
1. Place the auto-focus brackets on the subject you
want focused in the picture.
Printing Panoramic Format Pictures
If you took panoramic pictures on the entire roll of film, ask
the processing-lab clerk to print the film only in the
panoramic format. If there are panoramic and normal
format pictures on the film, ask the clerk to print the film in
both the normal and panoramic formats. (Normal format
prints are 88.9 x 127 mm or 102 x 152 mm, whereas
panoramic format prints are 88.9 x 254 mm.) You may want
to consult the processing lab for development time and
cost, and don’t forget to check the optional panoramic box
on the photofinishing envelope.
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the
Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

rolls of film, you can switch between the panoramic
and normal formats)
The panoramic selection allows you to take wide-
angle shots, such as large groups, football and
baseball fields, landscapes, tall buildings, waterfalls,
etc.
Note to Owners of the Quartz Date and Time
Model: Date and time imprinting is not available in the
panoramic format.
1. Slide the Panoramic Switch (14) from normal to the
panoramic position. The Viewfinder (7) changes to
show the selected field of view.
