Order Film by N urn ber HE No. 3A Panoram Kodak takes the same T film cartridge as the No. 3A Autographic Kodak. A 122 is the number of the film for the No. 3A Panoram Kodak-the six-exposure cartridge for three Panoram pictures and the ten-exposure cartridge for five pictures. All Kodak Films are distinguished by numbers on the ends of the cartons. This number is also on the back of the Kodak and on the red paper of the cartridge.

No. 3A Panoram Kodak 5 The No. 3A Panoram Kodak T HE No. 3A Panoram Kodak is a camera of few parts. Its operation is very simple and good pictures will be obtained from the beginning, if the directions given in these pages are carefully followed . Before loading with film make yourself familiar with the camera and its parts. Go through the instructions step by st ep, and make all the movements called for .
6 Picture taking with t he J is aT-level for levelling the camera, vertically and horizontally. KK are concealed springs for opening the back and ends. L is the carrying handle. In the back of the camera there is a small red window through which the number of the film can be seen. Tripod sockets for holding t he camera on a tripod in the horizontal and vertical positions are provided.
No. 3A Panoram Kodak 7 Fig. II. There is a recess at each end of the Kodak for the film spools. In the recess near the carrying handle is an empty spool to serve as the reel onto which the film is wound after exposure. The full spool is to be placed in the opposite end of the camera. Fig. III.
8 Picture taking with the 2. Stand the camera on the carrying handle end and draw out the spool pins near the top, as as far as they will come, Fig. IV. Raise the top end and the safety plate under it, and insert the film cartridge, Fig. V, page 9. Be sure that the word " TOP," printed on the red paper, is next to the winding key side of the camera. Push the spool pins into place and see that the spool revolves freely. 3.
No. 3A Panoram Kodak 9 From the time the band on the fresh roll of film is broken, until the camera is closed, keep the red paper wound tightly on the roll. If it should loosen, light will get in and fog or ruin the film. 4. Turn the winding key once or twice-just enough to bind the paper on the spool. The paper should now be in the position shown in Fig. VI, page 10.
10 Picture taking with th e circular guide stri ps and is not around ·the outside of the thick corner posts. 5. Close the ends and back and replace the carrying handle. 6. After closing the camera turn the winding key about fifteen times, or until the figure 1 appears in the red window in the back. The film is now ready for the first exposure.
No. 3A Panoram Kodak 11 Making the Exposures T HE Panoram Kodak as the name implies, is for wide out-door views with the subject at least twenty feet from the camera, and is for instantaneous exposures only. The sun must be behind your back or over the shoulder. This is more imperative with the Panoram Kodak than with an ordinary camera, as the lens movement makes shading of the lens almost impossible and prevents the taking of pictures towards the sun. 1.
12 Picture taking with t he Fig. VII.
No. 3A Panoram Kodak 13 Be careful not to touch the release lever on the opposite side until ready to make an exposure, or the shutter will be released. The camera can be held on the arm as in Fig. VIII, opposite, or it may be on a tripod or some other firm, level support (Fig. IX), but in either position it must be level and steady. The T-level behind the finder will help to level the camera. Fig. IX. The finder shows only the middle section of the view, the amount of sky and foreground.
14 Picture taking with the 4. When all is ready for the exposure: Hold the Kodak steady. Hold it level. and press the shutter release button-the one farthest from the tension lever. This makes the exposure. It may sometimes be necessary to hold the camera at eye level. When it is held in this position, adjust the hood of the finder to an angle of 45 degrees and look into the mirror in the hood of the finder. This will show an inverted view of part of the subject.
No. 3A Panoram Kodak 15 A quick and easy way to get a group in true semi-circular form is to swing a piece of string not less than twenty feet long, from a peg near the camera, or held by an assistant, and line up the group on the arc described by the free end. If the group is unusually large the subjects can be arranged two, three or four deep; the tallest in the rear and the shortest in the front rank to avoid covering any faces.
16 Picture taking with the Removing the Film HEN changing the film in the Panoram Kodak keep out of the direct sunlight. W The change should be made in subdued light. 1. After the last exposure has been made (No. 5 on a six-exposure roll and No. 9 on a tenexposure roll) turn the winding key until the end of the red paper passes the window. 2. Open the back and sides of the Kodak, see Figs. II and III, page 7. Fig.X. 3.
No. 3A Panoram Kodak 17 4. Fold under about half-an-inch of the red paper, and fasten it with the sticker. The folded end makes the breaking of the seal easier, when ready to develop the film. The spool of exposed film should be wrapped up to keep light from reaching it. Important: Film should be developed as soon as possible after exposure, as the quality of all sensitized products is retained by prompt development after exposure. S.
18 Picture taking with t he Finishing the Pictures T HERE are two distinct steps in the making of photographs- the picture taking and the picture finishing. To free our instruction books from unnecessary details, which might be confusing, we furnish with the camera the directions for picture taking only. These instructions are ample for the handling of the camera under practically all conditions.
No. 3A Panoram Kodak 19 the production of good pictures, we will be glad to furnish such developing and printing instructions, at any time, whether a tank or dark-room equipment is purchased or not. With the Kodak Film Tank and Velox paper many amateurs find as much pleasure in the finishing of the pictures as in the taking of them, and are able to make excellent pictures, by the simple methods we have worked out. We never lose interest in the purchaser of a Kodak.
