Before Loading
Before taking any pictures with the No.
2 Folding Autographic Brownie Camera
read the following instructions carefully.
Make yourself perfectly familiar with the.
camera, taking especial care to learn how
to operate the shutter. Work it for both
time and instantaneous exposures several
times before threading uP the film.
The first thing for the amateur to bear
in mind is that the light, which serves to
impress the photographic image upon the
sensitive film in a fraction of a second when
it comes through the lens, can destroy the
film as quickly as it makes the picture.
Throughout all the'operations of loading
and unloading, be extremely careful to
keep the red paper wound tightly around
the film to prevent the admission of light.

PART I
Loading the Camera
-r-tHE film for the No. 2 Folding
r Brownie Camera, is furnished in
cartridge and the camera can, there-
fore, be loaded in daylight. This
should be done, however, in a sub-
dued light, not in the glare of bright
sunlight. It should also be borne in
mind that after the seal is broken,
care must be taken to keep the red
paper taut on the spool, otherwise it
may slip and loosen sufficiently to TnB Frr_u
fog the film. No. 4-120
1. To load the camera, take a position where
the dayligl-t1 is somewhat subdued, not in the
direct sunlight, and remove front of camera. To
do this, push metal lock to the right, Fig. 1, page 6.
Then grasp the front of camera by the two metal
. edges and lift it upwards, first lifting that end on
which the lock is fastened, and remove entirely
that part of the camera. Fig. 2, page 6,
The camera is now ready for loadittg.
