How to use

Open the back, load a roll of 35 mm film according to the film chamber markings, close the back and advance the film using the manual winding knob. Compose and shoot — the fixed-focus lens and 1/120 s shutter speed handle typical daylight and indoor scenes. If needed, switch the built-in flash to On before taking photos in low light. After finishing the roll, rewind the film manually, remove the cassette and have the film developed by a lab.

Recommendations

Use ISO 200–400 film for best performance; choose ISO 200 in bright daylight and ISO 400 for lower light. Maintain at least 1 metre distance from subjects for sharp images due to the fixed-focus lens. Turn the flash on for indoor or low-light scenes where additional illumination is required.
