  WnH the Koduk 35, clear, sharp pic-
     tures can be made right from the start,
    outdoors or indoors, in the daytime or
    at night.
     The six easy steps to make good pic-
     tures with your Kodak are given on the
\.*x-*  following pages. They are simple, and
I   verv easily memorized.
     You will find many illustrations which
     rvill give you suggestions for making
    similar pictures
 .   The negatives made with your Kodak 35 can
    be enlarged many diameters.

LOADING

Loen your camera with the Kodak
 Film Magazine in subdued light, never
 in direct sunlight or in exceptionally
strong artificial light. The magazine
should not be allowed to remain unpro-
 tected in the light; any slight light-leak
through the slot will fog the film.
  Turn the latch r, to OPEN, then
exerting a slight pressure with the thumb,
                     slide the back off the
                 r Kodak as illustrated.

    Enough film will now be wound on the
     take-up reel so that the figure r on rhe
    margin of the film will be in position
     for the first exposure. Turn counter 5
     to the first line after " o" ; the Kodak is
    now ready for the first exposure.
     The double exposure prevention de-
     vice automatically sets the shutter when
     the film is wound.
       After making the exposure, push in
    the button 4, release it, and turn the

www.butkus.us
winding knob 3 until it locks; this auto-
matically controls the exposure counter
which gives an accurate check on the
number of exposures made. The next
section of film is now in position.
  Every time a
new section of
film is wound in-
to position a red
lever is seen in
the slot on the
top of the shutter, indicating that the
shutter is set, see illustration. If the red
lever does not show, the winding knob
rnust be turned.
                              r B exposures can be made   Either 36 or
on the film in the Kodak Magazine, see

   lease, remove the screw E, and replace
   it with the cable release.
 THE SELF TI MER
  THBnn is a self-acting release built into
  the shutter; by using this self-timer you
  can include yourself in the picture.
   To use the self-timer, place the Kodak
  on a tripod or other firm support. Use
  proper speed and stop opening. Push
                    the lever F as far
                      as it will go in the
                           F  direction of  the

  Do not use the self-tirner for either
time or "bulb" exposures.
REMOVTNG THE FTLM
After the last exposure has been made,
lift the winding knob 3 so that the take-
up reel will be free to turn backwards.
The film should now be rewound into
the mag azine by turning the film rewind
knob 2, page 4, in the direction of the
arrow. Rewinding the film after the last
exposure will prevent any possibility of
the film winding too far and tearing
loose from the supply spool.
  When rewinding the film with rewind
knob 2, page 4, the exposure counter 5
will turn. When the exposure counter
5 stops turning, give a few more turns
to the rewind knob 2. The magazine
should be replaced in the aluminum
tube, immediately after removal from
the Kodak, to avoid light leaking into
the slot.
IMPORTANT: Film should be developed
as soon as possible after the last ex-
posure has been made.
  Reload the camera as soon as an
exposed film has been removed, to be
ready for the next pictures.

Good Pictures Depend on:
A. coRREcr FocusING
The lens must be focused properly so
that the image of the subject will be                     I't
sharp and distinct on the film.                                                           ;.,;i'4

The shutter must open and close quickly

  The distance between the subject and
Kodak can be estimated without measur
ing, when the subject is beynd ten feet;
for instance, if the focus is set at l5 feet
(the usual distance for ordinary street
scenes) the sharpest part of the picture
will be the objects at that distance from
                                                                                             ",4the camera, but everything from about

  For distanl views turn the lens mount
until INF. (infinity) is under the pointer
at the top of the lens.   ,

INSTANTANEOUS EXPOSURES          I
 Wrrnrv the sun is shining, it should be
behind your back or over the shoulder;
 if it shines directly into the lens, it will
blur and fog the picture. However,
beautiful effects can be obtained by
back- or side-lighting. When pointing
the Kodak towards the sun, the lens
must be shaded so that the direct sun-
light will not strike the lens; for the best
 results, use the Kodak Lens Hood of the
Kodak Combination Lens Attachments,
see pages 38 and 39, or a Kodak Adjust-                                                           Iable Lens Hood No. z.
   Instantaneous exposures can be made
indoors with either Kodak Plus-X Pan-                               Jchromatic Film or Kodak Super-XX

ject is receiving the direct illumination

  Snapshots should be made during the
hours from one hour after sunrise until
one hour before sunset. If earlier or
later, the exposures must be longer.
TIME AND "BULB'' EXPOSURES
Fon all time or "bulb" exposures the
Kodak must be placed on a tripod or
some other steady, firm support-do not
hold it in the hands or the picture will be
blurred.
 An Optipod or a Tilt-a-pod will be
necessary for using the camera on a
tripod, with the camera in the vertical
position.
  For short time exposures from one-
half second to ten seconds, "bulb" ex-
posures are recommended.
  To make a time exposure, revolve the
knurled collar of the shutter until the
line B is at the letter "T r" see page 14,
press the exposure lever D (pug. 9),
once to open the shutter and again to
close it. For a "bulb" exposure, the line
B must be at the letter "B," then press
exposure lever D;the shutter will remain
open as long as lever D is held down.

STOP OPENINGS
     Srop orENTNGS regulate the amount of
       light passing through the lens. These
      openings are enlarged or reduced by
     moving the lever C, see page 14. I
    A knowledge of the comparative
       values of the stop openings is necessary
 I     for correctly tirning exposures.
      The stop openings are marked,f l+.5,
       5.6, B, rr, and 16.
       The largest stop opening itll+.5. This
     opening allows approximately fifty
      per cent more light to enter than _f 15.6.
     From                      "f lS.6 to Jlr6 each smaller open-     i.g (larger number) admits half the

EXPOSURES FOR INTERIORS
BY DAYLIGHT
 Ir ts easy to make pictures of interiors
by daylight where the windows get
direct light from the sky.
  To make a picture of a room interior
by daylight, adjust the shutter for a
"bulb" or time exposure by revolving
the knurled collar until the line B is at            ('B')    ((T."the letter     or      Set the stop
opening lever C at                                  "f lrr; this openinggives the best average results, see
Depth of Field Table on page 24.
  When the Kodak is on a table, do not
place it more than two or three inches
from the edge, or the table will show in
the picture.
  Compose your subject in the finder,
including more of the floor of the room

than of the ceiling. Leave the furniture
in the room in its usual place, as far as
possible, but be sure there are no pieces
close to the camera lens.
  Focus the Kodak by revolving the
Iens until the figure corresponding with
the average distance between the ob-
jects in the room and the lens is at the
focus pointer A, at the top of the lens.
  For an interior with medium-colored
walls and furnishings and two windows,
rvith the sun shining-make an exposure
