UNLOADING THE FILM

FOR OWNERS OF THE QUARTZ DATE & TIME MODEL
SETTING THE DATE AND TIME
The date and time feature enables you to record the date in a choice of four formats: (month/day/year, day/month/year, year/month/day) or time (day/hour/minute) directly onto the film. It features a quartz clock and automatic calendar through the year 2019, including leap years. With the camera held horizontally, the data is recorded onto the lower right portion of the picture; in the vertical format with the shutter release up, imprinting occurs on the lower left portion but positioned horizontally on the picture. Date and Time Imprinting Press the Mode Button (b), located on the film door (20), to select the desired data type; then take the picture. Following the exposure, the Print Indicator (a) blinks in the data panel for approximately two-to-three seconds to confirm imprinting. NOTE: The imprinted data may be difficult to read if the subject area over which it is superimposed is bright or non-uniform. If the data panel is consistently dim, replace the date-back battery (see Replacing the Date-Back Battery).

If the Flash-Charging Indicator (29) on the LCD Panel (3) �blinks,� the flash is not fully charged. Wait for the blinking to stop and the indicator to disappear before you take the picture.

Tips for Better Pictures
� Keep your pictures simple. Move close enough to your subject so it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 0.8 m. � Take pictures at the subject�s level. Kneel down to take pictures of children and pets. � Hold your camera vertically to capture tall, narrow subjects, such as waterfall, skyscraper, or single person. � Add interest to your picture by framing it with a tree branch, a window, or even the rails of a fence. � Keep the sun behind you. This provides best subject illumination.
