HOW TO USE YOUR I2O CAMERA
   With the following instructions you will become
thoroughly acquainted with your camera and be
able to take excellent pictures immediately.
  The camera takes eight 2/4" x 3/4" negatives on
standard size 120 roll film, with or without the Flash
Unit. Pictures can be taken indoors or outdoors at
any time, and may be enlarged.
  Taking good flash pictures is easy. Snapshots may
be taken of children in the home, or friends who visit
in the evening, or even outdoors under unfavorable
photographic conditions. The cost of modern flash
bulbs is small compared to the satisfaction of securing
good pictures whenever you want them.
       TOADING THE FILM
  lVever lood your eornero in direct sunlighl.
   Grasp the ridges on the sides of the camera back
between the thumb and middle finger of one hand.
Press the camera body just ahead of the latch on the
top of the camera back with other hand and open.
Turn the winding key in the direction shown by the
arrow and pull out at the same time. Film guide will
then slip out of the body.
   Make sure the slotted end of the empty film spool
is exposed through the large hole in either spool
bracket. Place the fresh spool of film in the other
spool bracket so that the paper rolls off the top of the
spool in the direction of the film plane (directly be-
hind the large opening). Break seal and feed end of
film paper behind film plane, inserting tapered end of
paper into slot of empty spool and turn spool between
thumb and forefinger, making one complete turn.
