   PRACTICE  THESE5

      l.   sET FttM spEED
      Set the ASA dial at the speed of
      your film. This number is on the
       instruction sheet packed with the
         film.
F   2,  sET AT AUToMATIclt      Turn this ring to set AUTO mark -l
      under arrow on front of camera.
       This automatically controls both the
      speed of the shutter and the size of
       the lens opening.
   3.  Focus
      Move this knob to the distance you've
       estimated between the camera and
       your subject. For closeups set at 2.5,
      3,4 or 5 feet. For groups 7, l0 or
       15. For distant shots and big scenes,
       30 and oo (Inflnity). A good rule of
     thumb to follow is shoot portrait
       closeups at 5 feet (yellow dot) and
      group shots at 15 feet (red dot).
      ;"  AIM
     Look through the eyepiece on the
      back of your camera. Everything
      you see will appear in your picture.
      The glowing bar with the red section
        is the Automatic Stop and Go light
       signal. How this works is explained
      on pages 8-9.
   5. sHoor
      Press the shutter release button all
       the way down slowly while holding
      the camera steady. When you hear
      the click you've taken the picture.
