Preparing the camera
To prepare the camera to take passport or ID photos:
1
Plug the AC power cord into the back of the camera and
into a wall outlet. The camera will power up.
Both the green Ready light and the green Exposure light
will illuminate. See the example in Chapter 4, LED
display functions.
Note: If the camera is unused for approximately ten
minutes, it will automatically shut off to conserve power.
Press the On button to reactivate the camera.
2
If necessary, load film into the camera. Refer to Chapter
2, Loading film, for detailed instructions.
3
Place your subject in a chair against the backdrop. For
best results, position the subject as close to the backdrop
as possible. Remember, passport photos require a white
background. For questions regarding passport specifica-
tions and techniques, call toll-free: 1-800-343-5000.
Note: For passport photos, move the aiming light selector
to “PP”; for ID photos, set the selector to “ID”. Refer to the
section The camera, in Chapter 1, for the location of the
aiming light selector.
