User's Guide
Special-Option Modes

The special option modes let you tailor the camera's fully automatic operation to provide optimal camera settings for infinity-focus, center-spot focus, portrait, or nightview mode.

Repeatedly press the mode button to scroll through the selections.

LCD Mode

Infinity-focus icon

Capture sharp, distant scenery when you take pictures outdoors during the day or through windows.

Center-spot focus icon

Ideal for extremely precise focus control of what you consider the most important parts of your subject in the center of the picture.

Portrait mode icon

This selection allows you to take sharp, close-up pictures of people. The camera automatically zooms to provide suitable framing for portraits.

Nightview mode icon

Use this mode, to balance the flash and existing light exposure so that you can take beautiful pictures of people at sunset or at night. Use a tripod (tripod socket) or place the camera on another firm support, and use high-speed KODAK ADVANTIX Film because the shutter speed at night will most likely be slow.

Selecting the special-option modes

  1. Completely lift up the lens cover/flash to uncover the lens and to turn on the camera.

  2. Repeatedly press MODE until the mode-selector arrow points to the infinity-focus icon, center spot-focus icon, portrait icon, or nightview icon.
    • In the infinity-focus mode, the camera is automatically set for flash off.

    • In the night-view mode, all flash options, except for fill-flash and flash off, are available.

    • In the portrait and spot-focus modes, all flash options are available.
  3. Frame your picture in the viewfinder eyepiece.

  4. Infinity-focus mode or night-view mode:
    • Simply press the shutter button to take the picture.
    Portrait mode:
    • Partially press down the shutter button until the zoom lens adjusts for suitable framing.
    • Press the shutter button completely down to take the picture.
    Center-spot focus mode:
    • Place the center-spot-focus circle within the viewfinder eyepiece on your subject.
    • Press the shutter button completely down to take the picture.
The modes cancel when you turn off the camera, select a different option mode, or when the camera powers down. The portrait mode automatically cancels after you take the picture.
