AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE CONTROL Daylight and Available Light Pictures Set Film Speed in ASA Window The sma ll window, on the top of the camera, must show the daylight film speed of the film in the camera to obtain proper exposure. The film speeds for No. 135 Kodak Films can be found on the two-sided Exposure Data Card (under the heading AS A) which can be slid out of the opening under the right edge of the frame on the back of the camera, or in the instructions packed with the film.
Set Selector Ring at " DA YLlGHT"- Press the selector ring LOCK and, at the same time, revolve the ring clockwise to snap-lock the daylight arrow opposite the triangu lar INDEX. This automatically selects a shutter speed of 1/80 second. DISTANCE SETTINGS Handy Zone Focus- The focusing range of your camera is divided into three subject zones-each represented by a diamondshaped symbol on the lens mount.
"Zone Minder," built into the viewfinder, shows at a glance which of the three zones is set on the focusing scale. Set the zone focus by rotating the LENS MOUNT until the proper diamond "click-stops" opposite the focus INDEX. For example, the illustration shows the diamond mark for the GROUP zone set at the index mark.
LOW LIGHT INDICATOR When the red exposure meter needle in the curved window moves into the red LOW LIGHT area at the extreme left of the window, it indicates insufficient available light to take a properly exposed picture and flash may be advisable. When the needle is in this area, it shows in the lower left corner of the viewfinder. USING THE VIEWFINDER 12 Hold the camera close to your eye so that you can see the complete luminous view-frame. The image within this frame will be in the picture.
upper edge of the picture when the subject is 4 feet from the camera. An equivalent area eliminated at the top of the frame is added to the bottom of the frame. Also seen in the viewfinder are two built-in signals-the flash symbol, and either CLOSE, GROUP, or SCENE. The flash symbol indicates that the selector ring is set for flash, not daylight. The CLOSE, GROUP, or SCENE signal is the "Zone Minder," reminding you of the zone focus setting of the lens.

Sight through the viewfinder and compose the picture. Hold the camera close to your eye. Signals, provided in the viewfinder, indicate : (1) whether the camera is set for " Daylight" or "Flash," (2) if there is sufficient light for proper exposure, and (3) the zone focus setting. Hold the camera steady; then press the shutter release all the way down with a slow, squeezing action.
FLASH PICTURES Your camera features easy, rapid flash picturetaking with the new 4-bulb Flashcube-at distances of 5 to 25 feet. BaHeries- Batteries are supplied with the camera. Unscrew the BATTERY COVER and insert the two N-size, alkaline manganese batteries, both bases toward the base of the camera. Replace the cover. Weak batteries cause flash failures. * Flash Bulbs- Four blue bulbs, reflectors, and flashguards are incorporated in the Flashcube.
tum each time film is advanced to the next exposure, thus providing flash for 4 exposures if a fresh cube is in place. If a partially used cube is in place and film has been advanced, a fresh bulb must face forward; if film is to be advanced, make sure that a fresh bulb is facing toward the Film Speed Knob, so that it will rotate into position as film is advanced. Remove a used Flashcube by pulling it straight up out of the socket. Do not obstruct rotation of Flashcube.

Focus the Camera-Rotate the Lens MountSelector Ring combination until the figure representing the camera-to-subject distance in feet (between 5 and 25) is opposite the focus index. Be careful not to depress the selector ring lock while focusing. NOTE : The focusing scale controls lens openings. Distance limits at which scale can be set are determined by the flash guide number. Aim the Camera-look through the viewfinder and compose the picture within the luminous viewframe of the viewfinder.
MORE ABOUT THE EXPOSURE CONTROL With the selector ring at DA YLIGHT,' the photoelectric meter of the exposure control measures the over-all brightness of the light reflected by the subject. Scenes lacking great subject contra st: That is, when the differences in brightness between the dark and the bright areas are moderate, or when very bright and dark areas are of about the same size, but of equal picture interest, use the automatic exposure control without modification-as described previously.
