KODAK CAMEO Sharp Focus Camera
For Owners of the Quartz Date & Time Model

Setting the Date and Time

The date and time feature enables you to record the date in a choice of four formats: (month/day/year, day/month/year, year/month/day) or time (day/hour/minute) directly onto the film. It features a quartz clock and automatic calendar through the year 2019, including leap years. With the camera held horizontally, the data is recorded onto the lower right portion of the picture; in the auto-focus vertical format with the shutter release up, imprinting occurs on the lower left portion but positioned horizontally on the picture.

Date and Time Imprinting

Press the MODE BUTTON, located on the FILM DOOR, to select the desired data type; then take the picture. Following the exposure, the PRINT INDICATOR blinks in the data panel for approximately two-to-three seconds to confirm imprinting.

Note: The imprinted data may be difficult to read if the subject area over which it is superimposed is bright or non-uniform. If the data panel is consistently dim, replace the date-back battery (see Replacing the Date-Back Battery below).

Mode Selection

Use the MODE BUTTON to change the data display as shown.

Setting Data 

1. Press the MODE BUTTON to select the desired data type.
2. Use the SELECT BUTTON to move between different parts of the displayed data. With the data displayed, pressing the select button in succession causes the settings for year, month, and then day to blink. On the data panel, the letter "M" indicates the location for the month and the apostrophe "*" for the year.

   In time mode, pressing the select button successively causes the hour, minute, and then the colon to blink.

3. Press the SET BUTTON to change the blinking display.

   

Replacing the Date-Back Battery

1. Open the FILM DOOR.
2. Slide the FILM-PRESSURE PLATE to the right until the silver spring clears the RETAINING EARS and reveals the BATTERY COVER.
3. Remove the screw from the battery cover using a small Phillips screwdriver.
4. Insert a new 3-volt lithium CR2025 (+ side up) battery. Replace the battery cover making sure the square TAB is under the top retaining ear.
5. Reattach the screw and slide the film-pressure plate back, making sure it engages into the CENTER NOTCH and is under both retaining ears on the film door.

   Note: After you replace the battery, you will need to reset the date and time.
