Opening & closing the camera Holding the camera Hold camera in your left hand with your thumb and fingers behind the hinge (A). Fingers must not block the exit slot and thumb should not touch the bellows. Raise the camera so your eye is close to the viewfinder. A A Hold the camera in the palm of your left hand. [. . . ] Simply point the camera down or to one side until you see in the viewfinder exactly what you want in the picture. To focus, estimate the distance from the lens to your subject (if closer than 3 feet, measure it), then turn the focus wheel until the correct distance is opposite the white line. Outdoors with subject more than 15 feet away, set lens at infinity mark. A Note that the film counter on the back of the camera sets to ten. After shooting ten pictures, remove the film pack by opening the film door and pulling the pack out by the little tab. Sonar/Autofocus SX-70 Sonar/Autofocus models focus automatically using sound wave technology. Simply aim the camera at your subject, press the shutter button and hold the camera steady until the picture ejects. Lightly press the shutter button part way down to see what your picture will look like. Then either press the button all the way down to take the picture, or release it and change your position or the camera angle and preview again. CAUTION: If there's a window pane, glass display case, wall hanging, etc. in front of your subject, the sonar may be fooled and reflect an incorrect focus distance. Preview your picture in the viewfinder to be sure the sonar provides proper focus. If it doesn't, disconnect the sonar by pressing on the switch above the focus wheel until the red line shows. Then use the focus wheel to set your camera manually to the correct lens-to-subject distance until the image is clear. Don't forget to turn the automatic sonar focusing feature back on for later pictures; just press the top of the switch or close the camera.
