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

1Hold 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.

2Press 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.

3Look 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).

4The 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 Caution notice on film box.

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.
