BEFORE TAKING PICTURES

Things to do before using the camera for the first time.

Step 1 Attaching the Strap

1 Pass the end of the strap through the strap lug from underneath, then pass the strap through the clasp from under- neath.

Memo

The strap’s clasp can be used to rewind the film in mid-roll or to alter the date or time. Position the clasp away from the camera body.

2 Follow the same procedure to attach the other end of the strap to the other strap lug.

Memo Using the strap pocket

The strap also has a pocket which can store the viewfinder cap, hot shoe cover or any other small accessory as illustrat- ed.

Step 2 Loading the Batteries

1 As shown in the illustration, open the battery chamber cover by turning it with a coin.

2 As shown in the illustration, load the two lithium CR2 batteries or equivalent into the battery cham- ber with the batteries’ positive

(+) contacts pointing up.

3 Push in the battery chamber cover firmly and use a coin to turn the cover clockwise to close.

Memo About the Batteries

Be sure to use two lithium CR2 batter- ies.

When taking the camera to unfamiliar areas or when using in cold environ- ments, take a spare set of batteries.

See "Replacing the Batteries" to replace the batteries and read the cau- tions regarding the batteries. ( p.38)
