1. With the back cover (1) of the camera open, point the camera at a light source and take a blank shutter once. If you can see light coming from the back of the lens the moment you press the shutter button (9), the camera is working properly.
*To take a blank shot, first open the back cover without any film in it, and move the sprocket gear under the rectangular window in the center to the left with your finger until it clicks. Once the gear stops, you can press the shutter button to take a blank shot. Please note that the flash will not work unless you perform this action.
2. Insert a AAA alkaline battery into the battery compartment (16) and turn on the flash on/off wheel (12) on the front of the camera. Check that the flash charge light (13) next to the viewfinder (11) is lit (it may take some time to charge the flash the first time). When the flash charge light (13) is lit, take a blank shot and check that the flash (5) fires.
3. Place your finger lightly on the film take-up spool (8) and turn the film winding dial (6). If the film take-up spool (8) moves in tandem with the film winding dial (6), it is working properly.
4. If the product is not working properly, please return it to the place of purchase without the film within 30 days of purchase.
