EXPOSURE INDEX SETTINGS 10 When using the camera on the automatic exposure control setting, the exposure index KNOB must be turned to the daylight index number of the film in the camera to obtain properly exposed pictures. The indexes for No. 135 Kodak Films can be found in the instructions packed with the film. For example: the index for Kodachrome Film for Daylight is 10. Turn the exposure index knob until this number appears in the small window next to the knob as shown.
SHUTTER SETT I NGS The Kodak Synchro 80 Shutter has two speeds- the slower speed, 40 (\ /40 second); the faster speed, 80 (1 /80 second). Either speed can be used when taking pictures in daylight; however, the faster speed (80) is recommended to avoid possible camera movement.

DISTANCE SETTINGS Handy Settings The lens mount has three subject zonesCLOSE-UPS, GROUPS, and SCENES-to enable you to select and set the camera-to-subject distance quickly. Simply rotate the lens mount until the diamond marking 0 of the appropriate zone on the lens mount is opposite the triangular mark l:::,. on the shutter housing. For example : the illustration shows the diamond mark of the GROUPS zone set at the triangular index mark.

USING THE VIEWFINDER 14 When taking pictures, hold the camera close to your eye so that you can see the complete luminous viewframe. The image seen within this frame will be in the picture.

LOW LIGHT LEVEL INDICATOR Automatic Exposure Control A RED INDICATOR will appear in the lower left corner of the viewfinder if there is not sufficient available light to take a properly exposed picture at the shutter speed selected. If the red indicator is seen with the shutter speed set at 80, change the shutter speed to 40. If the red indicator is still visible, the available light is still not sufficient to expose the picture properly.
