synchronized flash exposures with your
Pioneer or Readyflash Camera, The flash unit
is easy to use and requires no complicated
adjusting; but before making any flash expo-
sures, please follow the instructions below
‘carefully:

1, PREPARE THE ANSCOFLASH —
First, buy two fresh penlight-size batteries and
as many bayonet-type flash lamps as you need
either No. 8, No. 5, 25; SM, SF or M2.

Make sure that the batteries are fresh. Fresh
batteries will last for about one hundred expo-
sures but lose their strength with age. After
three months they are worn out if used for
flash work. Worn out batteries will either not
flash the lamp at all or will flash the lamp too
late for proper synchronization.

Be sure to operate the shutter several times
before loading the camera with film. This
assures clean contact points and smoother
‘operation of shutter for flash pictures.
