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. Provoz blesku

• Automatický blesk: The flash will automatically fire in dimly lit conditions to ensure proper exposure.
• Redukce červených očí: When activated, the camera emits a series of pre-flashes before the main flash to reduce the red-eye effect in portraits.

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).
