        SHOOTING

                 --+-
     Taking pictures with DeVry Still Canera requires
   no particular special instructions. To move an unex-
    posed  f rame of film over cxposure aperture, simply
    hold camera in left hand and turn crank (C) one revolu-
    tion (clockwise) with thumb and index finger of right
    hand, thus allowing other fingers of  right hand to
    hold camera steady.

      Sight your subject in brilliant finder, (E) and when
    ready to expose-gently touch crank in counter clock-
    wise direction. Do not force crank in making this
    operation, simply touch Iightly as the hair spring
     will, of its own accord, release the shutter. Without
    raising the eye from finder, another exposure or as
   many as are desired of the same subject can be shot
   by simply turning crank one revolution for each shot
   and releasing crank as above instructed. Remember,
   you cannot expose two views on the same film frame
    because it requires a complete revolution of the crank
    before a new film frame can be brought over aperture
    plate and in back of the lens, and for this same reason
    the shutter cannot be cocked until this operation is made.

     Care should be taken however at the critical moment
   of exposure (when shooting the picture) not ,to far
    or move the camera when releasing crauk for expofire.

     Always make certain to center the scene you want
    in the center of vierv finclcr.            4

    When taking time exposureis shift time exposure
    lever (F) to the letter "T" or "Tirne" as marked on
   camera case. This disconnects instantaneous shutter
    action and sets shutter for time exposure. Pose your
    subject-turn crank (C) one revolution and when reacly
   to "shoot" release crank as above instructed. Shuttcr
    is now open and exposure in process. After the re-
   quired amount of time is allowed for time exposure'
    shift time exposure lever (F) to the letter "I" as marked
   on carrrera case and shutter closes-thus completing
   the time exposure. Care should be taken when calcu:
    lating the time necessary for such exposures.  It   is
    advisable to use either tripod or set camera on solid base
   whcn taking time cxposures.

      Time, As You Like
  DcVry film magazines shown in figure 4 are absolutely
light tight. The camera may be opened after five, tcn
or any number of pictures have been taken. Simply
turn two frames and open lid.  Clip film about one-
half inch from takeup magazine and renlove take-up
magazine which contains exposed film.  If you have an
extra takeup magazine, which can be secured at your
DeVry dealer lor 25 cents, you can then place this in
thc takeup magazine compartment and you will be ready
to take other pictures immediately with the remaining
part of your film.  If you do not have an extra take-
up magazine then take the exposed portion of your film
in its magazine to your Dc\rry dealer and after the
film has been developed, replace the magazine in  its
compartment in the camera. In either case load the film        .{
into the empty magazine as already directed on page 4
of the folder. Be careful not to change rea(l,ng on     J
the counter dial because u'hen part of the film is removed

the dial.

exposes about three picture lengths of the film as it
is stretched across the aperture  f rom magazine to

   If the film is kept in a dark room, only the space of
one licture will be spoilcd on the film, that much beingrequired to reach into the empty take-up magazine.
