QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q: How long will the batteries last?

A: If you use 24-exposure rolls of film and use

the flash on half of all your pictures, one

new 3V lithium battery or two new AA (R6)

alkaline batteries will last for approximately

12 rolls or 8 rolls respectively. If you do not

use the flash and zoom very often, the
batteries will last much longer.

Q: How should I clean the lens?

A: Wipe the lens gently with a soft, clean cloth.

Do not use lens cleaning fluid.

Q: Can I use film that is not DX-coded?

A: Yes, but only ISO 100 film.

Q: When does the camera measure and set

the exposure?

A: When the shutter release button is de-

pressed halfway, the camera measures both

the exposure and focus and locks them as

long as the shutter release button remains

halfway depressed.

Q: Can the battery in the optional remote

control RC-100 be replaced with a new

one?

A: No, it cannot be replaced but lasts about 5

years.

Q: It sounds like the film is advanced twice after

the shutter releases. Is this a malfunction?

A: No, it isn't. The camera sounds that way

because the motor is used to prepare the

camera for the next shot as well as to

advance the film.
