Advantages of the Advanced Photo System
Easier to load…
Advanced Photo System cameras use the new IX240 type film. This new
film features drop-in-loading to make loading your camera simple, the first
time, every time. Indicators on the cassette tell you and your camera if the
film is unexposed, partially exposed, exposed, or processed.
This mark on the bottom of your camera certifies that this camera meets
the requirements of the EU (European Union) concerning interference
causing equipment regulations. CE stands for Conformité Européenne
(European Conformity).

SPECIFICATIONS
OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND CONDITIONS
• This camera will only load film with the Unexposed ● mark current.
• DEP, Double Exposure Prevention, prevents the camera from
accepting exposed film.
• This camera is designed for use for -5°C to 40°C (23°F to 104°F).
• Never leave your camera where it may be subjected to extreme
temperatures such as 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 your camera to extreme humidity.
• To prevent condensation from forming, place the camera in a sealed
plastic bag when bringing it from the cold exterior to a warm building.
Allow it to come to room temperature before removing it from the bag.
• When photographing in cold weather, we 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.
• This camera is not waterproof, dust-proof, or sand-proof; take care
when using it at the beach or near water. Costly or irreparable damage
may occur.
Batteries may become hot or explode due to improper use.

• Do not install the batteries with the polarity (+/–) reversed.
• Do not subject batteries to fire or high temperatures.
• Do not attempt to recharge, short, or disassemble.
• Tape over lithium battery before disposal. Follow local codes for
battery disposal.
Use caution, accidents may occur when using this product
near young children.
Keep batteries or things that could be swallowed away from
young children. Contact a doctor immediately if an object is
swallowed.
Immediately remove the batteries and discontinue use if...
• the camera is dropped or subjected to an impact in which the
interior is exposed.
• the product emits a strange smell, heat, or smoke.
Do not disassemble. Electric shock may occur if a high volt-
age circuit inside the camera is touched. Take your camera
to a Minolta Service Facility when repairs are required.
