Flash pictures, in black-and-white or color, are easy to
make with your camera. The built-in synchronization
of your Kodak Synchro 250 Shutter permits the use
of flash, including electronic flash. Flash lamps are
fired when the camera shutter is released. Flash ex-
posure data is on one side of the exposure value cards.
The Kodak Synchro 250 Shutter synchronizes No.5,
No. 25, and M-2 lamps at speed 30 (1/30 second).
Electronic flash (zero-time delay) synchronizes at all
shutter speeds.
The Signet 50 was designed to use flasholders with
Kodalite fittings such as the Kodalite Super-M 4
Flasholder and Kodak Rotary Flasholder, Model
l.
These flasholders do not require the use of a bracket
to attach the flasholder to the camera. Instructions for
using the flasholders are packed with them.
1.
Set the red index dot to the exposure value number
obtained from the exposure meter or the exposure
value card.
2.
Turn the shutter speed ring to the desired speed
setting or lens opening. For average snapshots set the
shutter speed at "60" (1/60
sec.).
3.
Set the distance.
4.
Select the view in the viewfinder.
5.
Hold the camera steady; then press the shutter re-
lease lever all the way down with a slow, squeezing
action.
If
the film has not been advanced to the next
frame and the word WIND appears in the viewfinder,
or if the film leader has not been wound off fully, you
cannot press the release lever.
To advance the film, with the right thumb swing out
the rapid wind lever one full stroke or several short

locks - this takes several full strokes of the lever. The
first frame of film will then be in position and the
EXPOSURE COUNTER will be automatically set at 1. The
counter will move a mark each time the film is ad-
vanced up to exposure "36." It will show the number
of exposures made.-
Note:
Neither the exposure counter nor the shutter release will
operate unless film for exposure 1 is in position.

Open the back by pushing the LATCH upward with the
fleshy part of your finger. Push out the REWIND KNOB
with your thumb. Put the film magazine in the recess
next to the knob. Push the rewind knob all the way in,
turning it slightly, if necessary.
Swing out the RAPID WIND LEVER until the opening
in the take-up drum is up.
Drop the end of the film into the opening in the
take-up drum. Swing out the rapid wind lever until
the pins on the take-up drum engage the film perfora-
tions and the film is wound halfway around the drum.
Close the back. Make sure the latch snaps in place.
Swing out the rapid wind lever until the mechanism
ones until it locks; then let the lever return to its
original position. Now you can press the shutter re-
lease lever.
After you have taken the last picture, the rapid
wind lever locks. The film must be rewound into the
magazine before opening the camera. To do this, push
the rewind release in the direction of the arrow
and hold the release while turning the rewind
knob clockwise, in the direction of the
arrow, until the film is completely
rewound into the magazine.
