Questions &"Answers O1. Can previous 135 (35mm) film be used? Al. No, it cannot be used. Use film in IX240 film cartridges only. O2. Can slide film be used with this camera? A2. Yes, it can. O3. What is the ISO number? A3. The ISO number indicates the film's sensitivity to light in numerical terms. The higher the number, the more sensitive the film is to light. Q4. The picture was taken with the date recording function on, but the date doesn't appear on the index print sheet. Why is this? A4. Your camera records the date and time on the film surface magnetically, and the date and time are read electronically and printed during the printing process. This is why it doesn't appear on the index print sheet. O5. When converted to 35mm camera equivalent, what is this camera's 22.5 to 90 mm focal length range? A5. Approximately 28 to 112 mm (for H prints). O6. What will happen if I load a cartridge that has a visual exposure indicator other than O (unexposed)? A6. Any cartridge marked D (partially exposed), O (developed) or E3 (exposed) is changed to £3 inside the camera. O7. What does IX mean? A7. IX stands for the Advanced Photo System's 'Information Exchange' functions. At the time of exposure, the camera records information about the date, title, and exposure conditions, which can then be used by the Advanced Photo System in developing, printing, etc. Your camera magnetically records date, title. and exposure condition information on every frame. Your developing and printing !abs use this IX information to print the titles you select, as well as to provide better quality prints by adjusting compensation settings during printing. 6 '►.% a' Type: IX240 lens shutter-type, fully automatic camera with AF, zoom lens, and magnetic IX recording functions.
