SPECIFICATIONS

Every time you take a photo, the number

and “0“ is displayed when you have used up

the fi lm pack.

You can photograph objects close-up, and can photograph yourself using the self-portrait mirror.

Attach the close-up lens to the

back click into place.

Hold the camera so that the “O” mark

in the viewfi nder is on the upper right

of the center of the subject (see the

illustration above), then take a photo.

Grasp both sides of the close-up

lens, then pull it out straight.

WARNING

Do not look through the close-up lens at the sun or other strong light. Blindness or vision problems could result.

Caution

Do not leave the close-up lens in places exposed to strong sunlight. Personal injury or fi re could result if the lens should

accidentally concentrate the sunbeams on an object or a person.

Switch on the camera before you attach/detach the close-up lens; otherwise the lens cover may not work correctly.

Never turn the close-up lens when you attach/detach it; otherwise, the tabs on the back may be broken.

Caution

Use new alkaline batteries of the same brand/type only (AA only).

Replace both batteries in the following cases:

- When the red lamp on viewfi nder lights

- When no lamp lights or blinks even though the power is turned on

About 100 pictures (roughly 10 packs of INSTAX mini fi lm) can be taken with new batteries.

The battery performance may be reduced when it is cold. In this case, warm up the batteries to room temperature

before using this camera.

Use the supplied batteries for validation.

COMMON SENSE CAMERA CARE

CAMERA CARE

Your camera is a precision instrument. Do not get it wet or drop it. Also, do not expose to sand.

Do not use a strap made for cellular phones or other similar electronic products. These straps are usually too weak to hold your

camera securely. For safety, use only straps designed for your camera, and use only as specifi cally intended and instructed.

If you are not using your camera for a long interval, unload the batteries and keep it where it will be safe from heat, dust, and

moisture.

Remove soil and dust from the lens, viewfi nder window, etc. with an air blower and by wiping lightly with a piece of soft cloth.

Do not use solvent such as thinner and alcohol to remove soil.

Keep the fi lm chamber and camera interior clean to avoid damaging fi lms.

In hot weather, do not leave your camera in a closed car or on the beach, and do not leave it in moist places.

Moth repellent gas such as naphthalene adversely aff ects your camera and fi lms. Avoid keeping your camera or fi lms in a chest

with mothballs.

Your camera is computer-controlled. If you should experience an operational issue, remove the batteries and then reload them.

Note that the temperature range within which your camera can be used is +5°C/+41°F to +40°C/+104°F.

INSTAX mini FILM AND PRINT CARE

See FUJIFILM INSTAX mini fi lm for fi lm use instructions. Follow all instructions for safe and proper use.

Keep the fi lm in a cool and dry place. Do not leave the fi lm in a place where the temperature is extremely high (e.g., in a closed car).

When you load a fi lm pack, use the fi lm as soon as possible.

If the fi lm has been kept in a place where the temperature is extremely high or low, bring it to room temperature before start-

ing to take pictures.

Be sure to use the fi lm before the expiration or “Use Before” date.

Avoid airport checked luggage inspection and other strong X-ray illumination. The eff ect of fogging, etc. may appear on un-

used fi lm. We recommend that you carry the camera and/or the fi lm onto the aircraft as carry-on luggage. (Check with each
airport for more information).

Avoiding strong light, keep the developed prints in a cool and dry place.
