QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q: How long will the batteries last?
A: If you use 24-exposure rolls of film and use
the flash on half of all your pictures, one
new 3V lithium battery or two new AA (R6)
alkaline batteries will last for approximately
12 rolls or 8 rolls respectively. If you do not
use the flash and zoom very often, the
batteries will last much longer.
Q: How should I clean the lens?
A: Wipe the lens gently with a soft, clean cloth.
Do not use lens cleaning fluid.
Q: Can I use film that is not DX-coded?
A: Yes, but only ISO 100 film.
Q: When does the camera measure and set
the exposure?
A: When the shutter release button is de-
pressed halfway, the camera measures both
the exposure and focus and locks them as
long as the shutter release button remains
halfway depressed.
Q: Can the battery in the optional remote
control RC-100 be replaced with a new
one?
A: No, it cannot be replaced but lasts about 5
years.
Q: It sounds like the film is advanced twice after
the shutter releases. Is this a malfunction?
A: No, it isn't. The camera sounds that way
because the motor is used to prepare the
camera for the next shot as well as to
advance the film.
