Infrared film cannot be used with this camera, because the F80 detects the film perfo- ration with an infrared ray.

The viewfinder will be dark without battery power but brightens after installation of fresh batteries. This is not a malfunction.

All specifications apply when fresh batteries are used at normal temperature (20°C/68°F).
