UNLOADING

          Atwaysin
        SubduedLight

After the 20th or 36th exposureand
beforethe back is opened,it is neces-
sary to rewind the film into the magazine.
   Pull the rewind rxos  until you feel resistance(about 7s inch).* push the re-
wind nelrasE in its slot in the direction of the arrow and hold the rewind release
while turning the rewind knob clockwise to wind the film toward the magazine.
While film is being rewound, a small, round signal window on the bottom of the
camera flashesalternately red and black. The film is completely rewound when,
while turning the rewind knob, the signal window remains either red or black.                                                                                                                        ,open the camera back; this automatically returns the exposure counter to E
(Empty). Pull out the rewind knob all the way and remove the film magazine.
*Film   will not  re\\'ind  if rhe knob  is pullcd  out  too  far, In  this case. push  in the knob  completely;   then  pull
it out the proper  disrance as indicated  above.

"Zone Minder," built into the viewfinder, shows at a glance which of the three
zones is set on the focusing scale. Set the zone focus by rotating the LENSM6UNT
until the proper diamond "click-stops" opposite the locus INDEX.For example,
the illustration shows the diamond mark for the GROUP zone set at the index
mark.
  The range of sharpness,which permits these zone settings, depends on the lens
opening, as indicated by the red exposure meter NEEDLE,located in the curved
window on the top of the shutter housing. The higher the //number, the greater
the range of sharpness.Zone settings will give acceptablysharp pictures at all
three zones with l/numbers f|5.6 or greater.
Coreful Scqle Focus-(l)  When lighting conditions are such that an /inumber
lessthan f.5.6(fl4 or f12.8) is indicated in the curved window, setting the actual
camera-to-subjectdistance on the focusing scale will give sharper pictures.
   (2) With all flash pictures,setting the actual camera-to-subjectdistanceon the
focusing scale is necessary for proper focus and essential for proper exposure.
   In both these cases, estimate the camera-to-subjectdistance carefully and
rotate the lens mount until the figure representingthe camera-to-subjectdistance
 is opposite the focus index.                                                                                                   ll

MORE ABOUT THE EXPOSURE CONTROL

 -
    With the selector ring at DAYLIGHT,   the photoelectric meter of the exposure                                        I
    control measures the over-al/ brightness of the light  reflected by the subject.                                iI
    Better results, especially with color films, are obtained when using flat or moder-
    ate side lighting with the principal illumination coming over your shoulder when                    i
    taking the picture.
 .   Scenes locking grect sublect conlrqsl: that is, when the differencesin brightnessbe-
    tween the dark and the bright areas are moderate, or when very bright and dark areas
    are of about the samesize,but of equal picture interest,use the automatic exposurecon-
     trol without modification-as  describedpreviously. Most pictures fall into this grouping.
   Scenes with considerqble subiect conlrosl: for example,a personwith light-colored
    clothing against a dark background.
    A better exposed picture of the person may be obtained by making a "close-up"
    reading.
     Move close to the subject so that the person fills the finder. Pressdown the shutter re-
    leaseuntil a slight resistanceis felt-abou1 z/4of the way (not far enoughto releaseshut-

step back and press the releasedown fully to take the picture.
Modifying  the ASA Selting: You may wish to slightly modify the recommendedfilm
speed(exposureindex) to achievea result which is more suitable for you. Using a higher
speed results in denser transparencies, which some people prefer when using high-
wattage projectors and a small screen.A lower film speed gives lighter transparencies,
for a low-wattage projector and large screen.
  To modify the film speedsettingwhen using filters with black-and-whitefilms, divide
the film speedby the filter factor; usenearestfilm speednumber.
