Holding the Camera
Hold the camera's grip firmly when photographing. If the
camera moves during an exposure, the picture may be
out of focus.
To minimize camera movement, tuck in both elbows and
support the bottom of the camera with your left hand.
When photographing at slow shutter speeds, or when
using the Self­Timer, use a tripod with an Electromagnetic
Cable Release or a mechanical cable release.
Unloading Exposed Film
When the roll of film is completely exposed, the camera will automatically
advance the film onto the take-up spool, and the LCD Panel will display
"END".
1. Open the Back Cover.
While holding down the magazine's Back
Cover Release Button (A), push the Back
Cover's Release Button (B) in.
2. Remove the Roll Film Insert.
Squeeze the Release Latches (C) with
your finders and pull the insert out of
the camera.
