Turn the winding knob to take up any slack, and then one more whole turn to secure the fihn, making sure that it is feeding evenly on the spool, and is not running up against one of the flanges.

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.View original page 10

Taking the picture
For upright pictures grip the camera with one hand at
either end, fingers at the front, thumbs at the back,
with the right index finger resting lightly on the
shutter release.

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
it to appear in the finished picture, hold your breath
for an instant, and depress the shutter release gently
and s-m-o-o-t-hJ-y.
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).View original page 13Page 14 · Read text

winding on For the first picture the figure I was in the left-hand
window: for the second, turn the winding knob until the I same figure I appears in the centre of the right-hand
window. For the third exposure, the figure 2 should be in
the centre of the left-hand window again, and for the
fourth it should be in the centre of the right-hand window
and so on until you have taken the twenty-fourth picture
when the figure 12 will be in the right-hand window.
Unloading the film After taking the last picture on the film, wind on until
you see the end of the protective paper pass both windows:
a further turn or two will ensure that the film is
Fr completely wound on to the take-up spool. Remove the
back of the camera, and pull out the winding knob,
giving it a half-turn to secure it: next pull out the knob
} at the bottom right hand of the camera and take out the
filn-r. Take care that the film does not unwind, or light may
get in at the edges and spoil it. Seal the film tightly by
means of the gummed paper provided.
Never unload the film in direct sunshine: if it is

www.butkus.usFlash pictures 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.View original page 16

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.View original page 23

Try to avoid fussy backgrounds, and especially
try to place your subject away from trees and lamp posts,
which in the finished print may look as though they
are growing out of the person's head.
'Close-ups' of people, and animals, make especially
effective pictures and because the ronorr- rr focuses as
close as four feet it is ideal for them. When taking
close-ups always allow a little more space over the
{ subject's head in the viewfinder than you think you need
' this compensates for the slightly different position of the- viewfinder in relation to the lens.
