INSERTING THE BATTERY

The camera will not operate unless the battery is installed. It is important to make

sure that the battery is installed correctly. 1. Push the Battery Compartment Cover

Latch by a pen etc. in the direction of the arrow and pull open the cover. (Fig. 3)

2. Insert the 6 volt lithium battery, checking that + and - on the battery are lined up

correctly according to the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment. (Fig. 4)

3. Close the Battery Compartment Cover by pushing it in the direction of the arrow.

(Fig. 5)4www.butkus.org

* When the battery is inserted correctly, the Battery Condition Mark WE appears

on the LCD Control Panel when the Lens Shield is opened. (Fig. 6)

* When replacing the battery, do so as quickly as possible, and avoid having film

inside the camera.

* Do not remove the battery from the camera unless it is to be replaced with a new

one.4www.butkus.or g

Battery for use

Lithium battery (6 V) Panasonic CR-P2DR

OPENING THE LENS SHIELD

1. Open the Lens Shield by sliding the Lens Shield Switch toward the mark of (A

(opening). (Fig. 7)

* You can only fire the camera when the Lens Shield is completely open.

* To avoid tripping the shutter inadvertently and wasting battery power, always

keep the Lens Shield closed when you are not taking pictures.

* When the Lens Shield is closed, the Battery Condition Mark will disappear to

conserve the battery power.

* Opening the lens shield while pressing the shutter release will release the shutter.

CHECKING THE BATTERY

1. The battery icon symbol is displayed on the LCD Panel when the battery power

is sufficient. (Fig. 8)

2. When the battery is nearly exhausted, the ~ symbol will appear. (Fig. 9)

If there is film in your camera, finish the roll as soon as possible and obtain a new

battery.

3. When the battery is completely exhausted, the c symbol will be displayed. (Fig.

10)

Replace with a new battery.4www.butkus.or g

* Cold temperatures will reduce battery efficiency. In freezing weather, the ~

symbol may turn off and only the can or c symbol may show in the LCD panel.

When the camera returns to normal temperature, the Battery "All Right" symbol

should reappear. If you are taking pictures in cold weather, keep the camera warm

and take it out only when you need it.

* When the empty battery symbol is shown in the LCD Panel, don't use the flash.

* If the battery voltage is insufficient, the shutter may not release or the film may not advance completely. In the

following cases, replace the battery:

1) When the battery mark displays only the outside of the frame (no black in battery icon).

2) When the shutter does not release.

3) When it takes 10 or more seconds for the Flash Ready Lamp to light.

4) When film advance and rewind cannot be done.

5) When the self-timer does not function.

6) When the battery has been in the camera for 5 years or longer.

LOADING THE FILM

Always avoid direct sunlight when loading the film.

1. Push the Back Cover Latch downwards to open. (Fig. 11)

2. Load the film cassette into the Film Chamber and pull out enough film leader to

extend over the mark of the film leader position ( - ). (Figs. 12.A, 12-B)

3. Please make sure that the film is within the Film Guides (Fig. 13), and that the film is not slack. (Fig. 14)

4. Press the Back Cover shut so that the Back Cover Latch returns to its original

position. The film is automatically advanced until number "1" appears in the LCD

Panel. As soon as you close the Back Cover, the LCD Panel will show the

following signs. (Fig. 15)4www.butkus.o rg

1. Film Cassette loaded Symbol

2. Film Advance Symbols (these symbols will flash in sequence toward the right

to tell you the film is winding.)

3. Exposure Counter

5. If the film has not advanced correctly and is not taken up onto the Film Take-up

Spool, the Film Cassette Loaded Symbol, the Film Advance Symbol and Exposure

Counter will blink for about 30 sec. (after 30 sec., they appear without blinking but

start to blink when the Shutter Release Button is pressed and the shutter can not be

released). Please reload the film by following steps 1--4 shown above. (Fig. 16)

* Whether there is film in your camera or not can be confirmed by either the Film

Loaded Window or the cartridge symbols in the LCD Panel. (Fig. 17)

* Do not use special-purpose films such as 35 mm Instant Reversal Film, etc.

because your camera may not be able to transport and expose them properly.

* You can load film in your camera although the Lens Shield is closed. However,

the LCD display is not shown.4www.butkus.o rg

SETTING THE FILM SPEED

DX coded films are provided with black-and-silver patterns corresponding to film

speeds which the camera reads and automatically sets. Your camera accepts DX

films with speeds ranging from ISO 100 to 1600.

Please check whether the film has a DX code system or not. (Fig. 18)

When using a film with DX code, setting the film speed is not necessary. Your

camera automatically makes the correct film speed setting.

When using a film without DX code, your camera will automatically set itself to ISO

100.

HOLDING YOUR CAMERA

1. Use both hands to steady your camera. (Figs. 19, 20)

2. Be careful not to place your fingers over the lens, flash, or focusing windows.

(Fig. 21)

* When holding vertically always position it with the flash at the top.4www.butkus.org

VIEWFINDER (Fig. 22)

1. Field of View Frame:

The subject (such as people or scenery) that you wish to take should be set within

this frame.

Parallax Correction Marks:

When taking a picture of subject that is between 0.8 m-- 1.2 m (2.6--4 ft.) away

from your camera, the subject should be positioned within these marks. Anything

outside the marks will not be included in the picture even if you can see it through

the viewfinder.

Auto Focus Frame:

The auto-focus system focuses automatically on any subject that appears within this

small circle.

AUTO-FOCUS SHOOTING

1. Set the subject you wish to take within the Auto-Focus Frame in the center of

the Viewfinder. (Fig. 23)

2. When you press the Shutter Release Button halfway, the AF monitor will light

up. If the AF monitor blinks (When the subject is closer than 0.8 m (2.6 ft.)), you

should move back a little as your camera is too close to the subject. (Fig. 24)

* The AF monitor may light steadily if the subject is 0.4 m (1.3 ft.) or closer to the

camera Releasing the shutter in this case will result in an out of focus picture.

Therefore, let go of the Shutter Release Button and adjust your distance to make

sure the subject is at least 0.8 m (2.6 ft.) away from the camera. Then point at the

subject once again and press the Shutter Release Button.4www.butkus.org

3. Gently press the Shutter Release down to take a picture. The film will advance automatically after the shutter

teas been released.

* Avoid pressing the Shutter Release Button too abruptly to avoid camera shake or possible misoperation.

* Please be careful not to accidentally cover the Distance Measuring Windows at the front of your camera, as this

will cause the incorrect focusing.

* Please keep the Distance Measuring Windows clean so that focusing is accurate. If they get dirty, they should be

wiped clean with a soft cloth.

* There may be rare cases where the subject cannot be well focused. (For instance, dark subject that do not reflect

light well, glossy subjects, or subject taken through glass.) In the cases, it is best to use the Pre-Focus technique to

"lock" the focus on a more "normal" subject at the same distance. While holding focus, turn your camera back to

the original subject and shoot. (See PRE-FOCUS SHOOTING for more details.)

PRE-FOCUS SHOOTING

When the main subject you wish to focus on is not within the Auto-Focus Frame,

or if the subject is difficult to focus on, then you should use pre-focus shooting.

When the subject is not within the Auto-Focus Frame:

1. If you want to photograph two people, there may be cases where neither of them

can be within the Auto-Focus Frame in the center of the Viewfinder. If you release

the shutter then, only the background will be in focus, and the people, who are the

main subject, will be out-of-focus. (Fig. 25)

2. Move the camera so that one of the people is within the AutoFocus Frame. Press

the Shutter Release Button halfway so that the AF Monitor lights up. Hold your

finger in that position on the Shutter Release Button. (Fig. 26)

3. Now return the camera to its original position so that both people are in the Field

of View Frame again, and press the Shutter Release Button fully to take the picture.

(Fig. 27)4www.butkus.org

When the subject is difficult to focus on:

1. When you are photographing subjects that are difficult to focus on (such as a black dog, glossy surface or behind

glass), find another subject at about the same distance from the camera. You can pre-focus on that subject in the

same way as described front page.

* If you are shooting through a window, aiming the camera at a slight angle to the glass usually avoids any direct

reflection of auto-focus beam.

* When you remove your finger from the Shutter Release Button, the pre-focused condition is cleared, so that you

can pre-focus again as many times as you wish.

REWINDING THE FILM (AUTO REVERSE)

1. After the end of the film has been reached, the film is automatically rewound.

2. The film rewind is indicated by three dashes flashing in sequence from right to

left and the counter gives a subtractive reading. (Fig. 28)

3. When the film is fully rewound, the motor stops automatically and "E" is

displayed in the LCD Panel, you can now open the Back Cover to unload the film.

(Fig. 29)

* If you wish to rewind the film before the end of the film is reached, push the

Manual Film Rewind Button with a pen, etc. (Fig. 30)4www.butkus .org

* The shutter release is locked when "E" is displayed.

* When removing film, the rewind mechanism may occasionally operate briefly as

the Back Cover is opened. This is not abnormal.

* The rewound film will still have part of the film tongue protruding out of the film

cartridge. (Fig. 31)
