Kodak Disposable Camera

[Mampara]

I feel a bit embarrassed even asking this question!

I bought a Fun Saver camera from Amazon. I had expected it to
have an instruction 'manual' but other than a few indecipherable
(to me) symbols it is just in it's box.
I have tried on-line to find help to operate it without success.

Do I have to wind on the film after each picture? If so how?
How does the flash work?
Do I just point it and press the grey button?

The flash will fire every time.
The film is advanced with a wheel on the back, in the top right hand corner, 'rub' it to the right until it stops.
Yes, just point and press.

Many thanks shoota.

Welcome Mam.
The flash will cover from 4 to 10 feet, closer than 4 will overexpose, further than 10 will underexpose and you must wait for it to re-charge between shots.
It won't affect outdoor daylight pics.

Thank you very much for the link kawakiri

Kawa, they are 'opening' instructions not 'operating' instructions.....

[kawakiri]

I presumed they would want to get it developed.

[shoota]

You hand the whole camera in and the developers open it in secure lightproof conditions. Its not a job for the 'consumer'.

[Mampara]

Ah. I see what you mean shoota. It is the operating function I am
seeking help with.

[shoota]

Just point and shoot.
The only thing that can go wrong (he says...) is that you are not within the flash limits, otherwise just press the button. :-)

[kawakiri]

You don't need to open it in light proof conditions

[shoota]

It's a single use disposable camera, there is no rewind facility and no film cassette inside.
Why would you open it?

[kawakiri]

Because I can develop it.

[shoota]

That's you - we are advising Mam here.....

Mampara, Shoota is on the money with the operating instructions and use of this point and shoot camera, take note of the flash distances as mentioned.
Shoota, I must admit it is a long time since I was in the darkroom, all digital for me these days.

Yes, they are dead simple - we had disposable cameras on the tables at our wedding, great fun. Point and shoot, then manually wind on to the next shot.
