Visual Exposure Indicator
•
Only cartridges with the
(unexposed) visual exposure
indicator can be used with this
camera.
• When a cartridge with other than the
visual exposure indicator is
loaded, the camera will rewind the
film and set the cartridge to
(exposed).
• Take along plenty of film cartridges
when traveling to foreign countries
and other areas where cartridge
purchasing may be difficult.
•
Do not forcibly move the visual
exposure indicator because this may
damage the cartridge. Using a
damaged cartridge can result in
camera trouble.

LOADING THE BATTERY
Use one 3V lithium battery (CR2).
1. Slide the battery compartment
cover release ( ) and open the
cover ( ).
2. Load the battery and align the

film can be used with one new 3V
lithium battery (when the flash is
used on half of pictures).
Notes:
•
Dispose of used batteries in the battery
recycling boxes at stores selling batteries.
If lithium batteries are not fully discharged,
protect them against short-circuiting (e.g., by
taping the contacts) before disposal.

Battery Handling
• Observe the precautionary remarks
written on the batteries.
• When the camera is not used for an
extended period of time, remove the
battery.
•
Keep spare batteries on hand when
going on a long trip or to a cold area.
Sweat, oil, and so on can prevent a
battery's terminals from making
electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe
both terminals before loading the
battery.

formalin or naphthalene.
3. If the camera gets wet, wipe it with
a dry towel. The salt in seawater
can be especially damaging.
4. Do not use organic solvents, such
as alcohol or paint thinner when
cleaning the camera.
16
5. Do not leave the camera on or near
a television, refrigerator, or other
appliance with a magnetic field.

Keep the camera in a well-ventilated
place.
• Do not expose the camera to
extreme heat (over 40°C/104°F) or to
extreme cold (below -5°C/23°F). Low
temperatures, even within this range,
may sometimes cause deterioration
in battery performance, temporarily
disabling the camera.

When transporting the camera from
a cold place to a warm place or in
the event of a sudden temperature
change, put the camera into a plastic
bag.This allows the camera's
temperature to change slowly. Once
