3. Open the film door by pressing up on the film door latch.
4. Push up the rewind shaft and remove the film. It is ready to be developed. Take it to a local photofinisher.
5. Push down the rewind shaft and close the back cover unless you are ready to insert a new roll of film at this
time.
Holding the Camera:
To get good pictures you must hold the camera properly. Your pictures will be out of focus if you move the
camera even slightly while pressing the shutter button. For best results, hold the camera in both hands with one
elbow against your body and be sure that the lens and viewfinder are not blocked by your hands or hair.
Taking Pictures:
1. Open the lens cover.
2. Look through the viewfinder and compose your picture as desired. You must be at least 4 feet away from your
subject. BE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF LIGHT, ESPECIALLY WHEN TAKING PICTURES INDOORS.
Since this camera does not have flash, NORMAL ROOM LIGHTING IS NOT ENOUGH.
3. Press the shutter button gently to take your picture. DO NOT SHAKE THE CAMERA while doing this.
4. Turn the film advance to the right (same as the arrow on it) until it locks (once around). The film counter will
have advanced by one. Check to see if you have used up all of the pictures on your roll of film.
5. Close the lens cover when finished taking pictures.
These Suggestions Will Help You Take Much Better Pictures:
By changing the camera’s position, you can influence how your subject is represented.
1. This camera does not have flash, SO BE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF LIGHT WHEN TAKING PICTURES.
NORMAL ROOM LIGHTING IS NOT ENOUGH.
2. Position yourself at your subject’s eye level. This is particularly important when taking pictures of children.
3. Keep unnecessary elements (such as passing cars, other people, signposts, telephone wires, etc.) out of the
picture.
4. Be in a low position to intensify action and drama.
5. Use a vertical shot to emphasize the height of a subject (such as a waterfall).
6. To emphasize the background (such as for pretty scenery), place your subject off-center.
7. Be close to your subject, especially when taking pictures of people.
8. You do not need to limit yourself to only taking pictures on special occasions.
Handling Precautions:
1. You should never open the back cover except when you are changing film, since this will expose the film to
light.
2. This camera is not waterproof and should not be used in rain or snow. If it is accidentally dropped in water
then the camera will be all right after it has dried out, although any film in it may be ruined.
3. Be careful when using this camera around sand, as blowing sand may get inside and disrupt operation.
4. Do not store your camera or film where they may get very hot, such as the rear window shelf of a car on a
hot day, or in direct sunlight.
5. Be very careful when cleaning the lens, as any dust or stains from cleaning fluid will show up in your pictures.
