OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GEC GA22 TRANSISTOMATIC
RADIO CAMERA
The G.E.C. Radio Camera is a unique new product
devised by G.E.C. engineers. A superb new radio has
been coupled with the remarkable Kodak , lnstamatic'
Camera to constitute an outstanding dual purpose
entertainment unit.
Study the following instructions carefully and you will
obtain the best results from both the radio and the
camera.
RADIO
Your battery operated transistor radio has been specially
designed to give the highest quality reproduction com-
bined with long battery life. lt receives programmes on
the long and medium wavebands and incorporates an
additional "Band-Spread" wave range feature specially
for Luxembourg listeners.
OPERATION (Long and Medium Wave)
(1) Check that the battery is correctly inserted and con-
nected (to obtain access to battery see illustration).
(2) Switch on the receiver by rotating the off/on volume
control knob in a clockwise direction.
(3) Set the wavechange lever to the waveband that you
require,
(a) Set the tuning knob arrow to the wavelength (station)
that you require and tune for the clearest reproduction.
OPERATION "BAND-SPREAD'' FORLUXEMBOURG
An additional, "band-spread" wave range is included to
eliminate the "hair-line" critical tuning which has pre-
viously been a problem in tuning in to the very popular
Radio Luxembourg. This "easy-tune" band also includes
several other continental stations-Monte Carlo: Han-
over: Nice: Vienna and Vatican City.
Set the wavechange knob to the band-spread position
and tune for the best reception.
Best results are obtained from Luxembourg during the
evening.View original page 6Page 7 · Read text

(3) Close the camera by pressing
the back against the camera body
until it locks. The film name and
number of exposures per cart-
ridge appear in the wtNDow on the
back of the camera. Close the
flashbulb holder compartment.
(4) Push the rtt-u aovance lever
toward the f ront of the camera (as
illustrated) and allow it to return;
repeat untilthe lever locks-about
a dozen full strokes (as the film
advances, a series of arrows
appears in the window). You are
now ready for the first picture.
After each picture, operate the
film advance lever until it locks
(1{ to 2 strokes). The number that
appears in the window on the
back of the camera (see illustra-
tion) serves as your exposure
counter.
One or two of the same numbers I
may appear in the window, as
shown.View original page 7Page 8 · Read text
CAMERA UNLOADING
(1) After the last picture, operate the film advance
lever until all the yellow paper has been wound
past the window (an "X" in the window indicates that the backing paper has not been fully wound
into the take.up chamber).
(2) Slide the lock button and open the back of the camera.
(3) Lift out the exposed 'Kodapak' Cartridge and re-load
1 with a fresh one.
NOTE: Partially used 'Kodapak' Cartridges cannot be inter-I changed or removed from the camera except in a darkroom.
Therefore, do not open the back of the camera after loading
until the yellow paper has been wound past the window.
Otherwise, some of the pictures will be spoilt by "light-fogging."

www.butkus.us FLASH PICTURES I Films, Flashbulbs and Distances-Pictures indoorsby flash are as easy to take as outdoor shots. Just be sure to use the correct bulb (clear or blue) for the film loaded in the camera, and observe the recommended camera-to-subject distance ranges as given below. For handy reference, distance ranges are shown on the back of the Flasholder. I For colour slides indoors, use 'Kodachrome-X' or'Ektachrome-X' Film and AG-lB (blue) bulbs. The camera- to-subject distance must be between 4 and 7 feet (1.2-2m). For colour prints indoors, use 'Kodacolor-X' Film andIAG-l (clear) bulbs. Camera-to-subject distance must be between 4 and 10 feet (1.2-3m). I For black-and-white prints, indoors, use'Verichrome'Pan Film and AG-1 (clear) bulbs. The camera-to-subject distance must be between 4 and 10 feet (1.2-3m). FLASH BATTERIES Two Ever Ready HP16 batteries (size AAA) are provided. To fit new batteries, remove back cover of radio, unscrew the lens ring lrom the front of the camera and remove the camera unit complete by pulling backwards. Open the battery com partment at the botto m of the camera, as shown, by sliding the raised nte of the battery cover to the opposite end of the recess. Insert the batteries- one base down, the other base up-as illustrated. Press down the batteries while sliding the cover back to close the compartment. The cover must be all the way back to complete the electrical circuit. N.B. Replace HP16 batteries at least every 12 months even though they may not have been used. Only Ever Ready HP16, Berec HPl6 or Mallory Mn-2400 batteries should be used. To refit the camera, engage boss "A" into slot "B" and slide the camera home. Ensure that the radio escut- cheon fits snugly in the grooves on the camera front- mouldings. Replace lens ring, taking care not to cross the thread, then tighten down.View original page 9

TAKING FLASH PICTURES
(1) To raise the Flash-
older, f irst press the
RELEASE enn to"pop-up"
the Flasholder slightly;
then grasp the Flash-
older and raise it into
the picture-taking posi-
tion. The Flasholder
must be all the way up
to make the electrical
contact.
NOTE: With the Flasholder all the way uF, the
shutter speed is automatically set to a nominal 1140
second; with the Flasholder down, to a nominal 1/90 second.
To permit acceptable exposure of outdoor pictures under less
favourable light conditions than that recommended (i.e. when
cloudy, not bright) raise the Flasholder (remember to remove
the.bulb if one is fitted) to obtain the slower shutter speed'
(2',) Insert an AG-{t type Flashbulb (g
Flashbulbs type
AG-1 are supplied,
stored in the Flash-
bulb holder conl-
partment) by sliding
the narrow edge of
the glass base
in between the
Flasholder coNrAcrs
and pressing it back
against the ejector
finger until it is lock-
ed in place. To re-
lease a bulb, press the bulb EJEcroR as far as it will go
toward the centre of the camera. Do not touch bulbs
during or after firing-they will be extremely hot'
NOTE: A fresh bulb can remain in the Flasholder, without
firing, when the Flasholder is retracted into the body. Therefore,
you can always be ready lor a quick flash shot-simply raise
the Flasholder all the way and shoot.View original page 10Page 11 · Read text

(3) A transparent plastic FLAsHGUARD
is packed with your
G822. When taking
close-upsand groups,
the use of the Flash-
guard is recommen-
ded. Never take flash
pictures in an explo-
siveatmosphere.
After inserting a
flashbulb hold the
Flashguard by the
raised rAB, and as
illustrated, seat one
narrow end inside the
left f rame, f lex the
Flashguard slightly; then seat the opposite narrow
end inside the right frame. Remove the Flash-
guard before ejecting the bulb or retracting the Flash-
Holder.
(4) The distance from the flashbulb to the subject is
important for correctly exposed pictures. Therefore,
make sure that the subject is not closer than 4 feet
(1.2m), and not farther away than 7 feet (2m) with
blue bulbs or farther than 10 feet (3m) with clear bulbs.
NOTE: The most pleasing appearance of the subject's eyes
will result when the flash picture is taken in a brightly lighted
room, and the subject is not looking directly at the camera.
(5) View the picture with your eye close to the rear
opening of the viewfinder, and steadily press the shutter
release to flash the bulb and take the picture.
IMPORTANT TIPS
Don't obstruct the lens (with fingers or strap) and DO
REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE LENS CAP.
Keep at least four feet away from the subject.
Hold the RADIO CAMERA steady.
Keep the camera lens and viewfinder clean by dusting
with a clean well-washed handkerchief, or cleaning if
necessary with 'Kodak' Lens Cleaner.
