THE LENS
  The lens  in the Ful-Vue
camera works at an aper-
ture  of  F/ll and can be
moved   backwards   and
forwards  at  will so as to
jiv.: ; 'u"t>  picture of
objects  at  any  distance.
Having estimated the  dis-
tance of the subject from
the  camera,  rotate  the
lens to bring the engraved
Índex mark  opposite  the
required  distance,   i.e., 2
yards, 3  to  5 yards or 6
yards to  ¡nfinity. (Fig. 1.)

fmger.  The exposure is made by " squeezing " (thumb  resting on
the shutter housing and the forefinger under the trigger).  (Fig. 2.)
The  shutter   ¡s arranged  to  give an  instantaneous  exposure  of
approximately  one-thirtieth  of  a second.
  For "Time" exposures set the lever A  at " T."   Pressing the
shutter  trigger  opens  the  shutter and  leaves  ¡t open  until  the
trigger  is released.
  vVhen  r ;!-:->j time exposuresyou must be very careful  not to
move the camera, or you wi/rgS-^'T.-d  pictures.    !f ycu wan:
to make a time exposure, don't  hola  the camera  in your  hands.
You must place  it on a solid supporr. a^table or a wall, and hold
it  very  firmly when you squeeze  tlis  trigger and during the time
you have the shutter open.

THE VIEWFINDER
  The viewfmder  of the  Ful-Vue  is the  large  brilliant window on
the top  of the camera.  This super finder gives a particularly  clear
and well illuminated picture, almost the actual size of the finished
print.    It  will  also warn you to keep the camera level whilst the
subject  is being viewed through  the  viewfinder.

other  hand  pulí  out  the
side of the camera which
comprises   the   winding
knob,  cone  and   spool
chambers. (Fig.  4.)

LOADING THE
CAMERA
  Before   ¡nserting   the
full  spool  of  film, make
sure that the empty take-
up spool ¡s in  position  at
the  winding end  of  the
cone.    If the  spool  is on
the other side of the cone
remove  it by pulling back
the spring which holds   it
                                                                              Fig.  4.

Remove all the gummed
seal  and  unwind    suffi-
cient paper leader to  pass
over the  rollers each side
of  the  wide end  of  the
cone.  Keep a little press-
ure on the spool  to  pre-
vent   it  from  unwinding
an>  more.
   Pulí  the  paper  leader
over  the  rollers and  ¡n-
sert the end in the wide
slot of the empty spool at
the  opposite end  of  the
cone.   (Fig.  5.)
  Give  the  winder  knob
one or two turns to make
the  paper  leader   taut,
and make quite sure that
                                                                            Fig. 6.

 see a warning hand. (F¡g.

 very slowly until you see

 appear  after  a  series  of
 dots.   Stop  winding and
~Twrn the shield to cover
 thc window.  The camera
  is  then  ready   for  your
  first  picture.

 TAK1NG THE PICTURE
  When  picture taking  ¡t
  is   most   important    to
 avoid camera shake.   Fig.

 to hoJd the camera when
 taking   snapshots.   The
                                                                               Fig. 8.

                         body, with the camera strap round your   ~
                        neck  to  assist you ¡n holding the camera
                           steady.  Squeeze the shutter trigger gently
                               until the shutter  clicks.
                            For Time exposures   it  ¡s desirable  to     ;                           put  the camera on a  solid  support and
                          hold  it very firmly.
                           After each picture has beer, taken, aperT

                        winding  knob   until  the  next  number
                          appeirs ¡n the window.  Return the safety
                         cover   after   each   winding   operation,
                             especially when using Panchromatic Film.
                 UNLOADING THE CAMERA
                   When the twelve exposures have been
                     made  open  the  ruby  window    shielri,
                       watch the window and wind the winding
                      knob  until the end of the backing paper
                          has pissed the window.Fig. 9.
