How to use: 

Step 1: Insert batteries into the camera 

The very first step before you even touch the film is to insert a fresh set of AA alkaline batteries 
of the same brand into the camera. 

 

The battery compartment, which opens and closes via a sliding battery lid, can be found on the 
right side of the camera. The lid can be a bit difficult to unlock at first but it does loosen up over 
time. 

Step 2: Remove film from the package 

Next we have to remove the film from the packaging. As you do so, make sure not to touch the 
two rectangular holes on the back as you will damage the film. It is also important to avoid direct 
sunlight when loading the film pack into the camera.
