Lithium batteries perform consistently until they
suddenly die.
• Read and follow all warnings and instructions
supplied by the battery manufacturer.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• Do not try to take apart, recharge or short circuit the
battery, or subject it to high temperature or fire.
• Store batteries in their original packaging prior to use.
Low-Battery Indicator
It’s time to replace the battery when—
• the Battery Symbol (31) appears on the LCD Panel (3).
• the battery symbol on the LCD panel “blinks.”

Film Door (20).
2. Insert the flat end of the film cartridge over the Film

3. Pull out the film leader until the tip reaches the Film-

move the camera until your subject is where you
want it within the Viewfinder Eyepiece (15).

eyepiece. If you want to take a picture with the subject
positioned outside of the auto-focus brackets, use the

Printing Panoramic Format Pictures:
If you took panoramic pictures on the entire roll of film, ask
the processing-lab clerk to print the film only in the
panoramic format. If there are panoramic and normal
format pictures on the film, ask the clerk to print the film in
both the normal and panoramic formats. (Normal format
prints are 3 1/2 x 5 in. [88.9 x 127 mm] or 4 x 6 in. [102 x
152 mm], whereas panoramic format prints are 3 1/2 x
10 in. [88.9 x 254 mm].) You may want to consult the
processing lab for development time and cost, and don’t
forget to check the optional panoramic box on the
photofinishing envelope.
4. Press the shutter button completely down to take
the picture.
