Pull out the small knob at the top left hand of the camera
and give it a half turn to secure it: then pull out the knob
at the bottom left hand and insert the film in the
left-hand chamber. Release both knobs so that their
spindles engage in the film spool.

Turn the winding knob and watch the left-hand window
in the back of the camera. After a few turns
some printing, usually dots or letters, will appear:
at this stage wind slowly to ensure the figure  l,
which follows immediately afterwards, comes into the
centre of the left-hand window. There are now only two
more operations to be performed before you take
your first picture.

                              For horizontal pictures hold the camera like this.
                                Bring the camera up to eye level, and, as it is important
                                   to hold it absolutely still at the time of taking the
                                      picture, hold it against cheek and nose for support
                            and keep your elbows against your body. your eye
                                should be as close to the viewfinder as possible.
                             Compose the subject in the viewfinder as you wanr

                                    for an instant, and depress the shutter release gently

                              Your picture is now safely recorded, and you should
                                immediately wind on in readiness for the next exposure,
                               whether you are going to take it immediately or not.
                          Make a habit of doing this and you will avoid the
                               annoyance of taking two pictures on the same piece
                                   of film (double exposure).

  The ronorr  rr is a fine FLAsH camera with a
built-in shoe into which the flashgun  fits, and a special
contact in the shutter to fire the bulb as you take the
picture. Simply fit the gun into the camera and connect the
lead on the flashgun to the flash contact, put a bulb into
the gun and take your picture in the normal way.
You will be delighted with the pictures you get,
both indoors and outside, when the light would otherwise
be too poor for picture taking.
  Flash is simple to use, and gives consistently good
results because you can take snapshots in poor light both
outdoors and inside. Inexpensive flash guns and
flash bulbs available from Boots ensure that you have the
right amount of light just where and when you want it                                                  -the sort of 'happy memory' picture illustrated on page l7
is obtainable really only with the help of flash.
Boots are specialists in rr-lsn and will be pleased to tell
you all about it. The table overleaf shows the distance
the flashgun should be from the subject.

Here are a few easy-to-follow hints which will help you
to take good pictures from the start.
Hold the camera very still, by resting it on something
if you can. Otherwise    keep your elbows in,
breathe out a little way,- hold your breath   and squeeze
the shutter gently to avoid 'camera-shake'. -
Keep the sun over one shoulder, rather than right
behind, otherwise your subject will tend to look flat
and washed out.
Never             sun                  shine        let the                           directly                                  into the lens -  a lens hood                'againstis essential                       the            for                           light'photographs.
Avoid taking outdoor pictures in deep shade and in the
early morning and late evening unless you use flash to
light up your subject. Flash is useful even in sunlight to
relieve the deep shadows from forehead and nose which
often obscure detail in faces.
To take a         moving subject
someone        running-is                         tricky.- Aa speedboat,head-on or athree-quartercar or even
view can be successful. Or you can photograph from the
side, following the subject with your camera.
