Your new Infallible Electric Eye camera makes
photography a push-button affair. Even if
you're a beginner, you can take wonderful
black-and-white, color slides, or color prints
automatically-your very first try. All you do
is sight and shoot-there's no fuss, figuring,
or complicated settings for you to make.
Light sets the lens for you instantly, automatical-
ly, continuously. And when there's not enough
light for perfect snapshots, just watch the -
Automatic Picture Control in the viewfinder
      always working-never lets you spoil-it'sa shot. Every picture is sharp and clear. 12
times out of l2!

Raise your camera to eye level
and sight through the big, bright
viewfinder. What you see in the
viewfinder is exactly what will
be photographed by your sharp
Wide View Electric Eve Lens.



Don't Shoot-unless you see the
green signal in the viewfinder.
If black, there's not enough light
for perfect snapshots. This is the
Automatic Picture Control that
prevents you from wasting film.

your shoulder. The use of a tripod is recommended for
