                           The camera uses one 3-volt CR123A or
                                 DL1 23A lithium battery.
                                        1. Open the battery-chamber door
                              using the larger button key on the
                          camera strap.

                               2.Insert the battery. The positive and
                              negative battery terminals should
                           be orientated as illustrated on the
                            diagram in the battery chamber.
                          Snap the door closed.
. Quartz-date model: after installing the battery, the date and time must be set,
 see page 59.
. When changing batteries, always turn the camera off.

Each time the camera is turned on, an indicator will appear on the data panel to
indicate the power status of the battery.

                     The indicator briefly appears. Power is   PP@                              sufficient for all camera operations.l;lstil €

                                           1. Slide the back-cover release
                          down to open the back cover.
                                            . Before opening the back cover, look
                                     through the film window to confirm that
                                              film is not currently loaded.
                                           OP€N

                        o
.  lf the back cover does not open, turn the camera off and on to release the film-
 chamber lock.
. Use only DX-coded 35mm film rated between ISO 25 and 3200.
. Do not use Polaroid instant 35mm film. Winding problems may result.
  ISO 400 film is recommended  for best results.
 Always load and unload the film in subdued light.


                                                      Continued on next page.

2.Place the film cartridge into the film
                            chamber.



                                    3. Extend the film leader to the film-tip
                           mark. The film must lay flat.
                                     .  lf the film tip extends beyond the index mark,
                               push the excess film back into the cartridge.

4. Close the back cover.
. The film automatically advances to the first frame
 and "1', appears in the data-panel frame counter.
.  lf the film has been loaded improperly, "0" will
  blink on the frame counter and the shutter will
  not release. Open the back cover and repeat the
  loading procedure.
. Once the film is loaded, the battery-chamber lock
  will engage preventing the back cover from being
  accidentally opened until the film is rewound.

1. Press the main switch to turn the
                         camera on.
                                          . To conserve battery power, the auto-power-
                                             off function will turn the camera off eight
                                 minutes after the last operation.
                                      . Do not obstruct or hold the lens barrel.

                          2. Hold the camera steadily. Do not cover the
                         flash, lens, or AF windows with your fingers.
                           . For vertically framed pictures, turn the camera so the
                            flash is to the too.
                               . When the camera is brought to your eye, the eyepiece
                       sensors automatically activate the camera's focus and
                       exposure systems.
