i. e. sunlighr, bright, and hazy conditions.

      The exposure control   ( 6 )  is designed to  automatically adjust the  settings under
       varying light conditions.  Under  full sunlight the lever (6 )  ihould  be  at  the  full -
        circular position (Fig. 1)., Under cloudy but bright conditions the lever should be at
       the half-noon  position {nlg.  2\.  Oveicast coniitions  the  lever should be  at  the
      shaded circle (Fig  3,).

    Focusing
            It  is desirable that your                           -camera lens be focused correctly.  This has been made simple
        for you. by. the embossed-focus symbol ring (13) on the camera lens mount.  Simply
        rotate the lens to the selected setting-partso that  the symbol coincides with  the smail
      diamond located on  the uppermost       of the  lens' barrel.  These symbols are for
       simple focusing. i.e.
                                                                                                                                                                                                       f$ff,8.-!r'::1                   :rr: f 1j!!  qnJrll'f     f.ri. a       :: r'xMpj1fBAfi'.t"f             'N1:':r'!  rit'Eiwg;f.      -1if-,,iq.:rfi:iW1                             www.orphancameras.com

Taking Picturesby Flash

Your Halina  Simplette F  is designed to take outstanding flash pictur.es under  all light
conditions, particularly when there  is insufficient light to enable correct exposures to be
made, e.g. indoors or outdoors at night and when there is insufficient  light  available.

To operate your Halina  Simplette F  for  flash photography, two  small  batteries have
to be inserted into the camera.  Simply  pull out the battery compartment cover guard
(14) and place two Ever Ready U16 batteries in  ,the position as illustrated  (Fig.  7).
This operation is carried out with  the camera back fully opened.  Therefore,  if  flash
pictures are required,  it  is suggested that  the  batteries are  fitted  before the  film  is
loaded.  Please note the two  batteries MUST  be  inserted with  the   f  and  -  poles
facing in opposite directions.



The  batteries must  be
inserted in  the manner
as shown in the diagram.

      The  distance from  the  cameia  to  the  subject is  important  for  correct exposure.
        Therefore, it  is important  that the subject to be photographed is not more than 10
         feet from the camera and not less than 4 feet away.

The exposure control  selector (6)  , should be  at  the  full  circular  position  (Fig. 1).
However,  it  is extremely important  to use manufacturers' recommended settings for
different types of films, which are as follows:-
                             'Kodachrorne-X'    'Ektachrome-X'For colour slides indoors, use                   or                 Film  and AG-IB
(blue) blubs.  The camera - to - subject distance must be between 4 and 7 feet (I.2-2m1.
For colour prints indoors, use'Kodacolor-X'Film  and AG-1  (clear) bulbs. Camera-
to-subject distance must be between 4 and 10 feet (1.2-3m).
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).
Unlnading
After the last exposure has been made, continue to  operate the  film advance lever
(7) until the yellow backing paper has been wound past the  film  counter u'indou'            'X'(9).  An       in the film counter window indicates that the yellou' backing paper has
not been fully wound  off.
When  this operation has been completed slide back release catch  (8)  to  the open
position to enable the back of the camera to be swung fully open.   Lift out the used
cartridge and reload with a fresh film.
Please note that pardally used cartridges should not be removed from camera other-
wise light  will  leak into the back and spoil your  films.

Hints on Good Photography
      Your Halina  Simplette F camera has been designed to make photography easy and
     now that you have read the instruction book we offer you some further advice.
               *     It  is important  to keep at least 4 feet from your subject.
               *   Hold  the camera steady at  all times.
               *  Do not obstruct the lens with  fingers or case strap.
               *   Keep your camera lens and viewfinder  free from  fingermarks and dust.
               *   For colour slides of views, sea and snow scenes use a Skylight  filter.
               *   To emphasise clouds in a blue sky  (with black-and-white  film  only), use a
                    light  yellow  filter.
       In the unlikely event of your camera going wrong, do not attempt to repair or adjust
            it  yourself, instead return the camera to the dealer from whom  it was purchased to
      enable a specialized repair  to be carried out.
    We wish you every success with your ohotography.;
