  A wonderful new experience awaits you     There  is a world  of difference between

such realism that  you  will  feel you  are    height,  width,  and  depth. And   it  is the
"actually  there" each time you  look  at   depth  that   gives  stereo  pictures  such

area. Thus, the Delta Flash Attachment  produces more usable light, and that  is
why   it  will  take high quality  stereo pictures under conditions where ordinary
flash attachments fail.
  The Delta Stereo Camera and the Delta Flash Attachment make an unbeatable
combination. You can take true-to-life, natural color stereo pictures "around the
clock" . . . outdoors or indoors . . .day or night!

  The Delta Flash Attachment  is designed for use rvith Kodachrome Artificial

  The Delta Flash Attachment uses a standard type flash bulb. Ask for the G.E.
or Westinghouse No. 5, the Sylvania Press 25, or equivalent.

  MOUNTING   FLASH  ATTACHMENT
             TO CAMERA
   CAUT laN:  To avoid the possibility of accidental firing, never put a bulb
      in the flash attachment unless the attachment  is properly mounted on
     the camera. Also, be sure to remove the bulb before vou take the attach-
    ment off the camera.
 o  The Delta Flash Attachment  mounts on the bottom  of the camera. Place

 so disappointing as snapping the

 also means the loss of one stereo

       SHUTTER  RELEASE  BUTTON

     Pressure on the  shutter  release button  does two  things.  (1) When  the button   is
  pressed part way down, you  will hear a "click"  as it trips the lens shutter and takes the
   picture. (2) When you continue to press until the button  is all the way down, you  will
  hear a  second  "click"  as   it  resets the  film
  measuring  rack,  which  allows  the  film  to  be
  advanced for the next picture.

    Frame  your  scene in the view  finder as you
  want   it to appear in the finished picture . Gently
  press the shutter  release button  part way down,
   until you hear the  first click. Pressure should be
  smooth. Do  not  jab  the  button,  nor  jerk  the
  camera. You  will find that a very gentle pressure is
  enough to trip the shutter and take the picture.

     The Delta Flash Attachment  is a perfect match for the Delta Stereo Camera.
       It is not an accessoryin the usual sense,but an actual part oJ the camera which can
    be attached or detached in a jiffy. Thorough research and expert engineering have
    produced exclusiaeJeatures which put the Delta Flash Attachment  in a class by
     itself, far ahead of the so-called "accessory" flash attachments.   It  is far more
     efficient, more dependable, and much easier to operate.

     The Delta Flash Attachment mounts sol'i.dlyto the camera with a single thumb-
    screw which fits into the tripod socket. The electrical connections and flash synchro-
    nization arebuilt-in. There are no wires or cords to tangle, snag, come loose, or fall
     in front of the lenses. The flash bulb is automatically  fired bv the shutter .elease
    button as the picture is snapped.

     The light control shield has a delicate blue tint,  scientifically measured to produce
    the exact quality of light necessary for taking  brilliant,  true-to-life color pictures.
   The inner surface is molded in a circular pattern which distributes the light more
    anenly over the entire picture area. In addition,  this sturdy  light control shield
    serves as a built-in safety shield to give full protection in case a flash bulb should
    shatter in the reflector as it is fired.

      Ordinary flash reflectors tend to spread the light. This wastes a great deal of the
     light on areas which will not appear in the picture. The Delta reflector is expertly
    designed to concentratea maximum amount of the light directly upon the picture

This does not mean that subjects beyondthe good lighting zone cannot be photo-
graphed. It means only that the background colors will photograph darker than
normal. In many pictures, this gives a very pleasing effect. However, subjects in
front of the near point should ahtays be auoid.edbecause the color rvill have a faded
and washed-out appearance.

  At  first, you will probably want  to measure the distance between camera and
subject. However, with a little practice, you will soon be able to judge the distance
accurately enough without having to measure. You  will  find that the size of the
image in the viewfinder serves as a good indicator of distance.

   In  all types of indoor color photography, the eyes have a tendency to look
unnatural. This can be overcome by having the room well lighted. Turn on rvall
lights, ceiling lights, etc. The more the better. Then ask your subjects to look
directlv into the camera.
   TAI(ING  THE FLASH  PIGTURE
For top quality flash pictures, carefully follow these simple directions.
   o Make sure that fresh flash bulb has been inserted.
   o  Set lefthand lens dial at SHADE.
   o  Set righthand dial at the desired near point.
   e Make sure the room is well lighted.
   o Advance film for next picture.
   o Have subject look directly into camera.
   o Frame the scene in the viewfinder. Hold camera steady and gentl,ysqueeze
      the shutter releasebutton.

                                                  The  shutter   release  button
                                                       operates for flash pictures  in the
