Taking Pictures, Previewing the Print

You can take Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H)*, and Panoramic (P) pictures on the same film cassette. You can view in color on the Preview Screen the last picture you took. While previewing the picture, you can select the print quantity, change the print format, and select the print title (see Title Imprinting).

*High Definition Television (HDTV) prints are the same aspect ratio as the TV for CD interface capabilities.

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