KODAK ADVANTIX 5800MRX Zoom Camera
Taking Pictures

You can take Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H-High Definition Television prints, which are the same aspect ratio as the TV for CD interface capabilities), and Panoramic (P) pictures on the same film cassette. Your photo-processing cost may be based on the format size(s) that you use to expose the film, with the larger prints costing more.

  1. Slide the ON SWITCH to open the lens cover, to raise the FLASH, and to turn the camera ON.

  2. Repeatedly press the FORMAT-SELECTOR BUTTON to select desired format (C, H, or P). The viewfinder will change to show the selected field of view.

            

  3. Partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON and position the subject within the clear-area framing boundaries in the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE.
    • When you partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON, the framing boundaries will automatically adjust for parallax correction, depending on the subject distance.
  4. When the FLASH/CAMERA-READY LAMP turns green, fully depress the SHUTTER BUTTON.
    • Follow the instructions on the TEXT-MESSAGING PANEL when the flash/camera-ready lamp is red.

Using the zoom lens

This camera has a motorized-zoom lens that lets you select the ideal lens-focal length for taking pictures. When you turn the camera on, it is initially set to the wide-angle position.

  1. Slide the ON SWITCH to open the lens cover, to raise the FLASH, and to turn the camera ON.
  2. Slide the ZOOM-DIAL LEVER to the left to the wide-angle position to zoom away from the subject. Slide the lever to the right to the telephoto position to zoom closer to the subject.

  3. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE.
  4. Partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON, and when the FLASH/CAMERA-READY LAMP glows green, fully depress the SHUTTER BUTTON to take the picture.
    • The lens barrel will automatically return to the wide-angle position after approximately 3 minutes of inactivity.
