Until you find one this may help:

5 Controls:

On/off button
Shutter button
Self timer button
Mode button
Rewind button (forces a rewind in the middle of a roll, hard to actuate, which
is good, use tip of ballpoint or unbend a paper clip to press it)

Auto film load, advance, and rewind (of course)

Viewfinder lines for framing, parallax marks on the top, autofocus target
indicator in finder.

Green "ready" LED in finder. Red LED on front of signalling delayed action (self
timer), (on when delayed action starts, shifts to blinking a few seconds before
firing)

Uses CR123A lithium battery (common for P&S)

Modes (using mode button, cycling through them)
1-Auto program w/ auto flash.
2-same as 1, plus pre-flash (red-eye reduction).
3-Auto program w/ auto flash and exposure override (+ compensation)
4-Manual flash "on".
5-Manual flash on, plus pre-flash.
6-Manual flash on, plus slow
7-Manual flash on, plus pre-flash, plus slow.
8-Flash off.
9-Infinity focus lock, flash off.

Hope this helps.
