Set the magnification
Turn the magnification selector knob to
the desired setting (12). The knob will
click into position at each magnification;
the camera will not function if the knob is
between lens settings.
In addition to the magnification, the
selector shows the camera-to-subject
distance and icons that represent the
approximate area of a subject included
in the picture.
Focusing and framing the subject
1 Hold the camera at the approximate dis-
tance from the subject for the selected
magnification. For example, if taking pic-
tures at 1X, hold the camera 10 in. (25cm)
from the subject.
2 Press the shutter button lightly (13); the
ranging lights will go on. The lights stay
on as long as the button is pressed. If you
release the button, the lights go off in
about 15 sec. Press the shutter button
lightly to turn them on again.
3 Look over the top of the camera; note the
two ranging lights on the subject (14).
Move the camera nearer or farther from
the subject, until the two lights merge
(15).
4 The viewfinder shows the area included
in the picture, with the ranging lights in
the center of the picture. Use the grid
screen to ensure consistent framing.
If you have difficulty seeing the ranging
lights, check that the camera is at the cor-
rect distance from the subject. See also
Troubleshooting.
Take the picture
Look through the viewfinder, and reframe
the subject as needed.
Press the shutter button all the way to
take the picture (16).
The picture will be automatically
ejected from the front of the camera
when you release the shutter button. Lay
the picture down flat or hold it by its wide
border while it develops. Do not shake,
bend or squeeze the picture, and never
cut pictures or take them apart. See

Picture tips
• When taking portraits at 0.4X or 0.2X
magnification, turn the camera 90° for a
vertical format to include the entire face
(17). You may want to turn off the lower
flash unit for more pleasing lighting.
• Important: Always hold the camera so
the front panel is parallel to the subject
(18). Holding the camera at an angle (19)
may cause uneven picture sharpness.
• If you wear eye glasses for distant view-
ing, wear them when using the camera
for accurate viewing and focusing.
Lighten/Darken control (20)
The camera is designed to provide the
correct exposure for subjects of average
brightness. With some subjects, you may
wish to make the picture lighter or darker
to enhance specific details. Each setting
on the panel indicates an exposure
change of
1
⁄
3
f-stop, up to 1 full f-stop.
• Press the light arrow to lighten pictures
(increase the exposure).
• Press the dark arrow to darken pictures
(decrease the exposure).
The camera has a memory and will save
your custom Lighten/Darken setting until
you press the reset button to return to the
nominal setting.
