Taking Pictures

Do not open the back cover until you have used up the film. Otherwise, the rest of the film will become exposed and turn white, and can no longer be used.

1. Once the batteries are loaded, press the power button to turn the camera on.
   The lens barrel extends and the flash charging lamp blinks and then lights up. (Blinking indicates that the flash is charging.)

2. Hold the camera, look through the viewfinder of the camera to frame your desired composition, and press the shutter button.

• The shutter button cannot be pressed while the flash is charging. 3. When the sound of the film being ejected stops, grasp the edge of the ejected film and take the film out. The film counter decreases in numerical order, counting down from “10” with each photo taken. “0” will be displayed when the film is finished and after the last photo has been taken. 4. When you have finished taking photos, turn off the camera by pushing the lens barrel back in.

If the camera malfunctions, remove the batteries while the power is on and then reinsert them to reset the camera.

Taking a Photo in Selfie Mode

To switch from the selfie mode to normal shooting mode, turn off the camera by pushing the lens barrel back in and then turn it on again.
Taking a picture of yourself
If you shoot in selfie mode, you can take a picture of yourself using the selfie mirror on the front of the camera to confirm your exposure.

1. Pull out the lens barrel until the SELFIE ON mark appears.
2. Hold the camera securely with both hands so that your face is 30 to 50 cm away from the end of the lens.
3. Confirm the composition using the selfie  mirror, then push the shutter to take the photo.

Taking a closeup
If you shoot in selfie mode, you can move the camera close to the subject and take a closeup.

1. Pull out the lens barrel until the SELFIE ON mark appears.
2. Hold the camera so that the **O** mark in the viewfinder sits slightly to the upper right of the center of the subject, then press the shutter button to take a photo.

• Take care that a finger or the strap does not cover the flash light sensor, AE light sensor, flash lampface, lens, or film ejection slot.
• Hold the camera so that the flash lampface is at the top when taking a horizontal picture.
• Do not take pictures in locations where flash photography is forbidden.
• Do not grasp the lens barrel when holding the camera. The finished photos may be adversely affected.
• Look into the viewfinder so that the **O** mark in the viewfinder appears in the center.
• Be careful not to touch the lens when you press the shutter button.

Distances for Normal Mode and Selfie Mode

• In normal mode, take a picture at a distance of at least 0.5 m from the subject. The effective flash range is up to approximately 2.7 m.
• When holding the camera closer than 0.5 m from the subject, use the selfie mode. Use the selfie mode to capture a closeup within the range of 30 to 50 cm.

Handling

■ Handling of Camera

1. The camera is a precision instrument, so do not get it wet, drop it, or subject it to shock. Also, do not place the camera where it will be exposed to sand.
2. Before using a commercially available strap, check the strength of the strap. Be especially careful when using a strap for mobile phones and smartphones because such straps are made for lightweight devices.
3. If you are not using your camera for a long interval, unload the batteries and keep it where it will avoid heat, dust and moisture.
4. Remove soil and dust from the viewfinder window, etc. with an air blower and by wiping gently with a piece of soft cloth.
5. Do not use solvent such as thinner or alcohol to wipe off dirt.
6. Do not leave the camera in a closed motor vehicle, another hot place, a humid place, on the beach, etc. for any period of time.
7. Moth repellent gas such as naphthalene will adversely affect the camera and film. Avoid keeping the camera and film in a chest of drawers, etc. with mothballs.
8. The operating temperature range of this camera is +5°C to +40°C.
9. This camera may occasionally malfunction because it is controlled by a micro computer. If it malfunctions, remove and then reinsert the batteries to reset the camera.

■ Handling of instax mini Film and Photos
For details on the handling of film and photos, see the instructions of FUJIFILM instax mini instant film.

1. Keep film a cool place. In particular, do not leave film in an extremely hot place, such as in a closed motor vehicle, for a long period of time.

2. Use film as soon as possible after inserting it in the camera.

3. If film has been kept in a place where the temperature is extremely low or high, allow it to become accustomed to a normal temperature before taking pictures.

4. Use film before the film expiration date referenced on the package.

5. Avoid airport checked luggage inspection and other strong X-ray exposure. Unused film is susceptible to the effect of fogging, etc. We recommend that you carry film onto aircraft in carry-on luggage (check with the relevant airport for more information).

6. Avoid exposing photos to strong light, and store them in a cool and dry place.

7. Do not make a hole in film or tear or cut film. Do not use film that is damaged.

8. Do not cut or disassemble the film for this camera as it contains black caustic alkali paste. Be especially careful not to let infants or pets put the film into their mouths.
   Also take care that the paste does not come into contact with skin and clothes.

9. If you accidentally touch the paste of unused film, immediately wash it off with plenty of water. If the paste comes into contact with the eyes or mouth, wash the area and then seek medical attention. The alkalinity of this film will weaken approximately 10 minutes after the photo is ejected from the camera.
