PROCESSING
For best results, take your film to a Certified
Advanced Photo System photofinisher
displaying this symbol (see p. 64).
USING THE BUILT-IN FLASH
When you turn the camera on, the built-in flash is set to autoflash or

FLASH LAMP
FLASH RANGE
With the shutter-release button pressed partway
down:
The range of the built-in flash depends on the film speed and the focal
length you are using. To ensure proper exposure, make sure your subject
is positioned within the flash range.
• If the orange flash lamp blinks rapidly, the
flash is charging. Wait until it glows steadily,
then take the picture.
• If the orange flash lamp blinks slowly, your
scene is too dark for a hand-held picture. Use
the flash or place your camera on a tripod.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND CONDITIONS
• This camera is designed for use from -10 to 40 °C (14 to 104 °F).
• Never leave your camera where it may be
subjected to extreme temperatures such as in
the glove compartment of a car.
• At colder temperatures, the data panel
response time will be slow. At higher
temperatures, the display will temporarily
darken, but will restore when the temperature
normalizes.
• Never subject the camera to extreme humidity.
• To prevent condensation from forming, place the camera in a sealed
plastic bag when bringing it from the cold exterior into a warm building.
Allow it to come to room temperature before removing it from the bag.
• When photographing in cold weather, it is recommend that you keep the
camera and spare batteries inside your coat to keep them warm when
you are not shooting. Cold batteries will regain some of their charge
when they warm up.
