KODAK S88 (01) PDF Document

Open the Battery Chamber Cover located at the side of the camera. Insert one 1.5V AA size alkaline battery, making sure the direction is correct. Close the battery chamber cover. It is recommended to remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an extended period to reduce the possibility of battery leakage.

• Slide the lens cover switch to open the lens cover and turn on the camera.

• Open the back cover by sliding the back cover latch upwards.

• Insert the film cartridge into the film chamber.

• Pull the film leader out until it aligns with the Film Take-up Spool’s hook. (Make sure the film is lying flat.)

• Check that the sprocket wheel teeth engage the film perforation, and then close the back cover.

• Press the shutter button a few times to advance the film until the number “1” appears in the film counter.

• You can confirm if there is film in your camera or not by looking at the film check window.

Always use both hands to keep your camera steady. Take pictures with sunlight behind you. When holding the camera vertically, always position it with the flash at the top. Be careful not to place your fingers over the Lens, Flash Lamp, or Viewfinder.

• Open the lens cover and compose the picture. Make sure your subject is at least 5 ft. (1.5m) from the camera.

• The film will automatically wind to the next frame when the shutter button is released.

• When you have finished taking photos, close the lens cover to save battery power.

The lens on the KODAK S88 is fixed in focus. There is no need to worry about focusing, but ensure your subject is no closer than 5 ft. (1.5m).

It is advisable to select the fill-flash if the main subject is standing in shade on a sunny day; the flash will illuminate the shadow areas of your subject. To use it, push the lens cover switch to the Fill position (indicated by a flash symbol) and wait for the ready light to come on before taking the photograph.

“Red-Eye” is caused when the flash is reflected from the retina of the eye. It occurs mostly in low light conditions. To ensure that your subjects always look their best, your camera is equipped with a red-eye reduction system. The red-eye reduction light glows whenever the green “flash ready light” is on.

When the film is finished, the film advance will not start again. Slide the rewind switch to the rewind position and the film will automatically rewind. After the film is fully rewound, the motor will stop, and “s” will be seen in the Frame Counter Window. You can then open the back cover and unload the film.

• The temperature range in which the camera functions properly is between 40°C and -10°C (104 F and 14°F).

• Take care not to expose the camera to sudden changes in temperature, as this may cause moisture to condense on the inside of the camera.

• Always protect it from dirt, rain, dampness, or excessive heat.

• Keep your camera safe from sudden vibration.

• Do not place the camera near equipment that has a strong magnetic field such as a television or radio.

• Avoid touching the lens. To clean the lens, wipe it clean with photographic lens cleaning tissue or a cotton cloth.

• Avoid using alcohol or other chemical solvents on the camera body.
