Naturally, there are a few

recommended flashbulbs will give you plenty of light
for pictures at distances of 5 to 15 feet.
However, some black and white films are “faster”
than others and you can, therefore,

shoot with them at greater

tances. Color film is not so fast,

® and shooting distance has to be

limited. It is very important that
the batteries used in your flash
camera be strong and fresh. Replace

taking the chance of missed pictures,
wasted bulbs and spoiled film.

It is also important to use the
right lamp. Your Beacon camera
is made to work best with any one
of three medium speed lamps. For
portability, convenience, and low
cost, the General Electric No. 5
Lamp with an adapter is excellent
for all black and white snap shooting.
It can be used for color too. How- THE RIGHT LAMP
ever, since color film requires more
light, it is suggested that the G-E No. 11 Lamp be used for
most color shots, or the G-E No, 22 for the greatest possible
amount of light when the shooting distance sh c
a little bit. For example, in taking a Christmas picture you
might want to back up and get in as much of the tree and of
the room, as possible. The use of the No. 22 is suggested for
this purpose.

Other General Electric Lamps designed for other types of
cameras, will not work in your Beacon. So be sure to buy
only Class M (Medium Speed) lamps such as, the G-E
5, 11 and 22,
