Stereo Kodak Model No.1 For Stereo Pictures EFORE loading or attempting to take any picB tures with the Kodak read the following directions carefully and become thoroughly familiar with the instrument, taking special care to learn how to operate the shutter. Work it for both time and instantaneousexposures several times before threading up t he film .
simultaneously with the thumb and second finger of the right hand on the two metal catches, then lift up the back. 2. The Kodak having been opened, an empty spool with a slit in it will be found in the winding end of the camera. This is the reel onto which the film is wound after exposure. The full spool of film is to be placed in the chamber at the opposite end of the Kodak.
into place. Care should always be t a ken to handle the back of Koda k ca refully , especia lly when it is detached from camer,a , as even a slight bend would make it fit badly, res ulting very proba bly in a lea kage of lig ht a nd consequent loss of film. Throughout the foregoing from the time the g ummed slip is cut on the fresh roll of film until the Koda k is closed, see that the duplex pa per is wound tightly on the spool.
A Operating the Shutter The scale a t t he bottom of the shu t ter indicates th e openings of th e Iris dia phragm, accord ing to t he " f." system. The t op scale of the shut t er indicates the different speeds t hat ca n be used when ma king exposures. When the indicat or "A" is placed over t he letter " T", time exposure of a ny duration may be made. Press the push-pin at end of cable release " D " or push down on finger release " C" t o open the shutter.
When making inst a ntaneous exposures t he camera may be held in the hands. If time or "bulb" exposures a re to be made, place the camera upon some firm support, like a tripod, t a ble or chair. The shutter is self setting and works automatically. Exposures are made by pressing push-pin at end of cable release "D" or pushing down on release "e". Avo id ma king too sharp a bend in the cable release as by doing so it will be liable to k ink.
stop is used for ordinary snapshots, the light will be so much reduced that it will not sufficiently impress the image on the film and failure will result. When making portraits out of doors, when the sun is shining bright, place the subject in the shade of a building or large tree, but with clear and unobstructed sky overhead-then use stop f. 7.7 and use speed 25. By following this rule unpleasant and distorting shadows on the face will be avoided.
meters and care should be taken not to confound them. Before closing the Kodak see that the pinion is t urned back to the limit of motion, as otherwise the bed of Kodak will not close properly. NOTE-The subjects for stereoscopic views are always best when they have some figure close in the foreground, approximately twelve to twenty feet away. How to Use the Stereo Kodak as a Fixed Focus Camera Focus the Kodak at 25 feet, set the stop midway between f.11 and f.

directly on object to be photographed. If it shines into lens the picture will be blurred. Do not try to photograph moving objects at less distance than twenty-five feet. Endeavor to catch them at an angle of about forty-five degrees, or coming toward the camera. When photographing a tall building at close range and pointing the camera upwards, lines in the photo will be found very irregular and to converge towards the top, on account of the top of the building being at a greater distance from the camera.

With Sunshine-Open and close the shutter as quickly as possible. With Light Clouds-From 72 to 1 second will be sufficient. With Heavy Clouds-From 2 to 5 seconds will be required. The foregoing table is calculated for the same hours as mentioned for Interiors, page 16, but for objects in the open ai r. For other hours or for objects in the shadow, under porches or under trees, no accurate directions can be given ; experience only can t each the proper exposures to give.
Closing the Kodak When through using the Kodak fold the bellows by reversing the operation described on page 10, and press down on arm locks on each side of bed. The bed will now close readily. Avoid making too sharp a bend in the cable release . when closing the camera. as by doing so it will be liable to kink. Flash-Light Pictures By the introduction of Eastman Flash Sheets, picture taking at night has been wonderfully simplified.
Pin a flash sheet by one corner to a piece of cardboard which has previously been fixed in a perpendicular position. If the cardboard is white it will act as a reflector and increase the strength of the flash. The flash sheet should always be placed two feet behind and two or three feet to one side of the camera. If placed in front or on a line with front of Kodak, the flash would strike the lens and blur the picture.
the sheet so a slight break is made and a portion of the sheet projects partially throu gh the opening. Then to insure the sheet being more sec urely fastened, press around the notch ed edge, forcing this portion of flash sheet firm ly into position on the pan. To set off the flash, merely insert a lighted match from behind, thro ugh the round opening in the center.
Half the persons composing the group should be seated and the rest should stand behind the chairs. If the group is large, any number of chairs may be used, but none of the subjects should be seated on the floor, as is sometimes seen in large pictures, because the perspective would be too violent.
light, not in the direct sunlight, so as to avoid a ny possibility of fogging the edges of the film. When the last section of film has been exposed , continue to turn the winding key until the duplex pa per is a ll wound onto the winding spool. Next, open the camera , the same as when loadin g, (page 5), a nd t a ke hold of the end of the duplex paper with thumb and finger of the left ha nd, t hen turn th e winding key so as to draw the paper taut on the spool.
paper keeps inside the flanges at the ends of tHe spool. Keep Dust Out of the Camera Defective negatives are often caused by particles of dust which have collected on the inside of the camera and settle upon the film in particles that produce small, dark spots upon the prints. I t is, therefore, well to wipe out the inside of camera and bellows occasionally, with a slightly damp cloth. In summer weather, or after the camera has remained idle for any length of time, this needs special attention.

STEREO KQDAK SELF-TRANSPOSI NG PRI NTING FRAME constructed t hat it accomplishes this by moving the paper first to one side a nd then to the other, protecting from th e light the portion which has a lready been printed. This Self-Transposing Printing Frame gauges the distance so that the separation is correct , a nd when the print is viewed through the stereosco pe it is properly separated, so as to get perfect perspective.
After both ends have been trimmed, cut the negative in two in the middle and transpose them, placing them on a glass and fastening them with gummed paper a long the edges, of course using care that th e bottoms of the two negatives, after having been transposed, are on the same horizontal plane. The negatives must be placed on the glass with the back side toward the glass (the back is the shiny side) .
