o Read this instruction manual carefully-go through
the mechanical motions-to be sure you fully under-
stand the operation of your camera. Follow "the little
man" through the illustrations. Before taking a trip
or picturing that important event coming up, give
yourself some practice by shooting a roll or two of film
and taking a few flash pictures. You will give the
equipment a workout too. Ifthereare any questions in
your mind, your Kodak dealer will be glad to help you.

The length of time the light is permitted to reach the
fiIm is controlled by rotating the outside knurled
collar of the shutter until the index line is at the desired
speed. The Kodak Synchro-Rapid 800 Shutter pro-
vides exposure times of 1/800, 7l4OO,ll2OO, 7llOO,
7150,L125,7110,ll5, 712, and 1 second-as well as
the speed index oppositethe 800 dot.
Use 1/50second
for averagesnapshots.
With exposures
of 1/10secondor slower or "B," the
camera must be on a tripod or other firm support.
"B" exposures are explained on page 26.

www.orphancameras.com

The size of the lens opening, through which the light
passes
while the shutter is open, is changed by moving
the lever across the /-number scale at the bottom of
the shutter. For greater convenience, a dual /-number
scale is located on the top rim of the shutter.
The opening is largest when the lens opening lever
is set at f14.5and smallest when it is set at f 132.
Each
succeeding lens opening from f132 to f 15.6 admits
twice as much light as the one
before; for example, a setting
of ll22 lets through twice as
much light as f 132.

The illustration above gives you a mental picture of
how the size of the lens opening-'the opening through
which light passesto the film-is changed as the lens
opening lever is moved across the scale.
www.orphancameras.com

The focusing scale on the lens is marked frorn 3tl feet
to co (infinity). Use the infinity setting for distances
100 feet from the camera and beyond.
When the subject is closer than 10 feet to the
camera, determine the distance accurately-it is best
to measure it or to use the Kodak Service Range
Finder, an accessory which slides into the clip on the
top of the camera.
Use the depth-of-field scale to tell the nearest and
farthest objects which will be in sharp focus. Instruc-
tions for use of this scale are found on page 18.

EXPOSUR,EGU'DE
The exposure guide on the back of the camera indi-
cates, quickly and easily, the correct exposure for
Kodak Films, with two common subject types under
the three most common lighting conditions.
Kodak black-and-white films have a wide latitude,
a built-in safety factor, which allows you to give as
little asonequarter the exposureindicated by the guide.
This should be relied on only when necessary at the
ltigher shutter speedsand under fauorable conditions.

KODAK VERICHROTI''EFTL'A
The film for general outdoor pic-
tures. It has wide latitude to help
you get a good negative even

KODAK ,,NFR.AREDFILM*
The film for distant landscape photography when de-
tail ordinarily obscured by atmospherichaze is desired.

for use with this film. The above pictures were made
with this filter. 6 exposures.
KODACOLOR.

For full-color prints use Daylight Type outdoors; use
Type A with artificial light. Kodacolor Prints are
ordered through your Kodak dealer. Since Kodacolor
Film yields colored negatiues,
black-and-white contact
prints or enlargements can also be made as easilv as
from regular films. 6 exposrues.

THE
BACK
The back, if removed,
must be replaced with
the top of the exposure
guide toward the view
finder. It is locked in

ends of the catches. A
white dot on the window
cover warns you to un-
cover the red window
when film is wound.

Before winding, uncover
the red window by push-
ing the lever toward the
bottom of the camera.
Turn the winding knob
until a small hand ap-
pears. Continue turning
slowly untTl the figure

window. Release the le-
ver to cover the window. 17

When the focusing collar is set at one of the distances
marked onit, objects at that distancewill be sharpest.
Sharpness extends to nearer and farther objects, but
with decreasing
sharpness.
The rangeofgood sharpness
is "depth of field". Its limits are shown by comparing
the red figures on each side of the focusing pin with the
figures on the focusing scale.The red fgures represent
lensopenings (/Tnumbers).
Example illustrated: Subject is at 20 feet. Exposure
callsfor a lens opening of f l1l..
Setfocusing scalewith 20opposite focusing pin. Look
for red figures 11f,

There is one on each side ofthe focusing pin. The one
to the right of the pin stands between 10and 12on the
focusing scale. The other, to the left of the pin, stands
at co,infinity. These show all objects from infinity to
about 11 feet from the camera will be sharp.
