HOW THE RING FLASH WORKS

The I-1 ring ﬂ ash is made up of

12 individual LEDs. 8 LEDs (1 red

7 white) provide the main

light source and give status indica-

tions – these are supplemented by

4 smaller LEDs. When you

take a photo, all 12 LEDs will

ﬂ ash at once, to provide a bright

but soft light.

Important: always use the ﬂ ash for

every shot, unless you’re shooting in

bright, direct sunlight.

As well as lighting photos, the ring

ﬂ ash also gives you information

about the camera’s current status.

You can use the ring ﬂ ash to see:

How much ﬁ lm is left in the pack

Every time you turn the control

knob to the on position, the ring

ﬂ ash will light up. The number of

LEDs which light up corresponds to

the number of shots you have left.

So e.g. if six LEDs light up, there

are six shots left in that ﬁ lm pack.

If you have used up all 8 shots in

your ﬁ lm pack, or if there is no ﬁ lm

pack inserted in the camera, then

the red LED (top) will blink rapidly

when you turn the camera on.

How much battery you have left

If you press the shutter button

while the camera is switched off,

the number of LEDs which light

up will correspond to battery level.

So e.g. if six bulbs light up, your

camera’s battery is 6/8 charged.

When the I-1 battery is low (3 or

fewer ring ﬂ ash LEDs light up),

then the red LED power indicator

will blink on and off and the

ﬂ ash will no longer work. At this

point you should only use the

camera for photography in bright,

direct sunlight.

Important: Due to the high power

requirements of the ring ﬂ ash, we

recommend that you always charge the

I-1 before use, for about an hour, using

the USB charging cable provided.

COMPATIBLE FILM

The I-1 works with all Impossible

600-type and Impossible

I-type ﬁ lms, in either color or

black & white.

REMOVING THE VIEWFINDER

The viewﬁ nder is removable. It’s

attached to the top of the camera

with magnets, which makes it easy

to detach and reattach. When you

want to reattach it, it will simply

slide and click into place. You will

need the viewﬁ nder to compose all

your shots, but you can remove it

when you need to throw your cam-

era into a bigger bag or suitcase.

CLEANING THE VIEWFINDER

When cleaning the viewﬁ nder,

we recommend that you only use

cleaning cloths made for optical

lenses, like the one included in the

I-1 box. Do not use any solvent,

such as alcohol, to clean the

viewﬁ nder, as this may damage the

silver markings.

CLEANING THE CAMERA’S ROLLERS

To clean the camera’s rollers, ﬁ rst

make sure the I-1 is switched off.

Then open the ﬁ lm door

- the

rollers are two metal cylinders

located just inside. Position your

thumbs on top of the rollers on

either side, then gently turn in-

wards, towards the camera. Clean

the rollers as you go, using a soft

cloth slightly dampened with water.

Do not use solvents or chemical

cleaners, as these may damage the

camera. Then make sure you turn

the camera on before you close the

ﬁ lm door again. This will reset the

roller position.

POWER SUPPLY

Charge the I-1 fully before every

use to ensure it has enough power

for the duration of your shoot (see

"CHARGE THE CAMERA"). The red

power indicator LED

switches

off as soon as the battery is fully

charged. The rechargeable Li-ion

battery will typically last long
