   ing cotch. The empty spool goes into the

  winding on the film until the figure t'1"
  oppeors in the red film window. Are you
  reody? Then let's hove o go ot

   Turn the distonce

  The shutter speed
    is set by moving

  ing lever (6) to the right. Now press the

   A SNAPSHOT
   When toking o reol condid shot there  is
    never enough time to set the distonce cor-
      rectly. How often the "right moment" is over
    ond gone before we ore reody. But with the
   GOLF 63, 63 S, or 45 S, you cqn set the lens in
    odvonce for condid snopshooting.  lt is quite
    eosy: stop down the lens to  f :l I ond set the
    distonce ring to the red dot between 8 feet
   ond l0 feet (2.5 m ond 3 m). By doing this,
    everything between 6 feet ond 13 feet (2                                 ^    ond 4 m) will come out shorp.
{

lf you use the some stop f:ll  but set the
   distonce to the red dot between 20 feet ond
  30 feet (6 m ond '10 m), everything between
  l3 feef (4 m) ond "infinity" will be shorp.
  Nothing could be simpler! Whot's more,
  every shot will be o winner!

  INDOOR EXPOSURES
  Why not? The GOLF 63 (63 S, 45 S) toke them
   in their stride. The shutter speed setting ring
   (8) shows the exposure times for instontoneous
   shots:
       25 :  1/25 second
       50 :  1i50 second
           ' 20v :   i/200 second
       100 -  l/100 second GOLF 63 S ond                    GOLF 45 S only)
  These exposure times will be too short for
  indoor shots, but why not moke o brief time                             nB"  exposure? The shutter is set to    ond the
  coble releose screwed into the releose knob
   (3). Now, if you press the plunger of the
  coble releose, the shutter will open ond
  remoin open until the pressure is releosed.
. Of course, time exposures should be mode
  from o tripod. Even the most experienced
  omoteur connot hold the comero still for
  fonger thon 1/25 second, so it goes without

www.butkus.us  soying thot indoor time exposures losting
  perhops for severol seconds must be mode
  from o tripod.
  PICTURES BY FTASHTIGHT
  The GOLF 63, 63 S ond 45 S ore iust mode for
  them. The floshgun is slipped into the occes-
  sory shoe ond the leod plugged into the
  flosh contoct (Z). Set the shutter speed setting
  ring to l/25 second ond you ore oll set for
  modern flosh photogrophy. You will find the
  right stop ond distqnce settings on the
  pockoges of Philips copless PF I bulbs or
  G. E. C. No. I bulbs. These flqshbulbs con be
  tirc;orntrly recommended the;, ore both eco-
  nomicol ond relioble. Of course, you con
  olso use your GOLF 63 (63 S ond 45 S) comero
  with on electronic floshgun.
 SHOTS WITH THE SELF.TIMEh
   lf you ore proud owner of o GOLF 63 S, or
 GOLF 45 S, you will noturolly wont to be in
 the picture yourself sometimes. Once you
  hove wound on the film ond set the shutter,
  then cock the little red lever under the shutter.
  Use o tripod, then. When you press the rele-
, ose knob, you will heor o bvzzing sound ond
  the shutter will be releosed ofter obout 10
  seconds, giving you plenty of time to toke up
  your pose.

f
 I   AFTER THE LAST EXPOSURE  . . .
    l'  wind the film on until the film window
    becomes dork.
   CARE! Before removing the film, seol it with
    the sticker provided to prevent the film from
    unwinding ond becoming fogged. To reduce
   ony risk of fogging, it is better to lood ond
    unfood the comero in the shode.
    There's nothing left to soy except to wish
   you the best of luck with your first film.
  We hope thot we hove been successful in              'the    exploining     most importont feotures of

   ond techniques; but these only experience
