LENS

Attaching the Lens

This camera uses interchangeable lenses. See page 116 for information on which lenses are compatible with this camera.

1	Remove the body and rear
	lens caps.

2 Align the red mounting index on the lens and camera body. Carefully insert the lens into the mount, then turn it clockwise until it clicks into the locked position.

• Do not insert the lens at an angle.

Removing the Lens

While pressing the lens release, turn the lens counter-clockwise until it stops. Carefully remove the lens.

• Replace the caps on the lens and attach the body cap or another lens on the camera.

•Never force the lens. If it does not fit, check its orientation with the index marks. When removing, make sure the lens release is pressed all the way down.

•Do not touch the inside of the camera, especially the lens contacts and mirror.

	FILM	GETTING	STARTED
	Always load or remove the film under subdued light to reduce the

chances of fogging.

Loading the Film

The camera automatically sets the correct film speed (ISO) with DX-code film.

1 Press the back-cover release to open the back cover.

2 Insert the film cartridge into the film chamber.

•Do not use Polaroid Instant 35mm film. Winding problems may occur.

•Do not use infrared film in this camera. The camera’s frame counter sensor will fog infrared film.

•If non-DX-coded film is used, the camera will use the previous roll’s ISO setting. Refer to page 86 to set the film speed manually.

•More than 40 exposures can not be taken on one roll with this camera. When using 72-exposure film, the camera will start to rewind the film after 40 exposures have been made.
