Advantages of the Advanced Photo System
New print formats…
Classic C print, wider H print, and
panorama P print formats are available
with Advanced Photo System cameras.
New processing…
In addition to returning your prints in the format you
selected, certified photofinishers will return your Advanced
Photo System film in its original cassette with an index
print. To order reprints, simply choose the images you
want from the index print. No more searching through
negatives to find the right frame.
Easier to load…
Advanced Photo System cameras use the new
IX240 type film. This new film features Drop-in
Loading to make loading your camera simple,
the first time, every time. Indicators on the
cassette tell you and your camera if the film is
unexposed, partially exposed, exposed, or
processed.
New feature...
Mid-Roll Change - Rewind your film in the middle of the roll and reload it later, without
fear of double exposures.

BASIC OPERATION

INSTALLING THE BATTERY CHECKING THE BATTERY
Your camera uses one 3-volt CR-2 lithium battery
to supply power for all camera operations.
1.Turn the camera upside down, then open
the battery chamber as shown, using the
bigger button key on the strap.
2.Insert the battery into the chamber as
indicated by the + and – marks.
3.Close the battery chamber, then turn the
lock until it stops at CLOSE.
• After installing a new battery, reset the date and
time (p. 50).
Each time the lens cover is opened, a symbol will appear in the data panel
to indicate the power status of the battery.
Briefly appears. Power is sufficient for all camera
operations.
Power is sufficient, but the battery must be
replaced soon.
Replace the battery. The shutter will lock until the
battery is replaced.
Continued on following page.
Your camera uses IX240 type film designed for use in Advanced Photo
System cameras.
• Your camera’s automatic transport system loads the film, sets the film
speed, and advances the film after each exposure.
• Use film from ISO25-3200. Your camera will automatically set the proper
ISO.
• After loading, the film chamber cannot be opened until the film has been
rewound.
• There is no need to worry about double exposure. DEP, Double Exposure
Prevention, prevents the camera from accepting exposed film.

camera is not operated for more than eight minutes. Press the shutter-
release button partway down, or press either zoom button to resume
