  3. Press the shutter button fully down to take the picture. The film will automatically advance to the next frame.

3. Funció de zoom

Use the zoom control (usually a lever or buttons near the shutter) to adjust the focal length between 38mm (wide-angle) and 70mm (telephoto). This allows you to bring subjects closer or capture a wider scene.

4. Flash Operation

  • Flaix automàtic: The flash will automatically fire in dimly lit conditions to ensure proper exposure.
  • Reducció d'ulls vermells: When activated, the camera emits a series of pre-flashes before the main flash to reduce the red-eye effect in portraits.
  • Flash Off Mode: For situations where flash is not desired (e.g., museums, theater), locate the flash mode button and select the 'flash off' setting.

5. Temporitzador automàtic

To use the self-timer, press the self-timer button. A flashing LED indicator will typically signal the countdown. After a set delay (e.g., 10 seconds), the camera will automatically take the picture, allowing the photographer to be included in the shot.

6. Rebobinar la pel·lícula

When the film roll is complete, the camera will automatically rewind the film back into the cartridge. A mid-roll rewind function may also be available, allowing you to rewind the film before the roll is finished by pressing a specific button (refer to camera markings if available).
