At the store
Buyer: Can you tell me how to use this camera?
Seller: This is a totally automatic camera.
Buyer: Do you mean that I don’t have to do anything but click it?
Seller: Exactly. All you have to do is to aim and shoot. But, before that, load the camera
with a cartridge of film. This is where you put the cartridge. Hold the cartridge
and insert in this slot. Now the camera is loaded. Do you follow me?
Buyer: Yes.
Seller: Now slide the lid backward and the camera is ready for use. Wind the film till
No.1 appears in the screen behind the camera. Then aim and shoot. After every
shot the lens gets locked.
Buyer: That means the same film won’t get exposed twice, right?
Seller: That’s right. Push the release button before you shoot next. If you need a flash
light just press this and the flash gets released. It’s clear now, isn’t it?
Buyer: I think so.
