            exposed, film wind lever will not turn further. Do
           not force it beyond this point.
      O To rewind film into originol cortridge from toke-

TIME EXPOSURES



         "8" time setting enobles you to toke pictures
           under dull lighting conditions without flosh.  lt  is
           often impossible to obtoin on exposure meter reod-
           ing in this kind of lighting, ond informotion mote-
             riols should be referred to for operture opening
         ond length of time doto. Very often, 3-seconds ot
                  f t 8 provides o good storting point for experiments.
