Order Film by Number

   All Kodak  Filn.rs are distinguished  b1, the
numbers on  the  encls of  the  cartons.  This
number  is also on the cartridge, and on thc
camera.
  120 is the nurnber of the film for the No. 2
Cartridge Harvk-Eyc Camera.

Before  Loading

   Before  taking  any   picturcs   with   your
.an)era, read the follorring instructions carc-
 fully.   N{ake  yourself   familiar   with   the
calnera, taking especial care to learn hou,to
operate the shutter (see page 12).
  The  first  thing  to  remerrber   is that  the
light, rvhich irnpresses the photographic image
upon  the  sensitive  film  in  a  fraction  of  a
second when  it cornes through  the  lens, can
destroy  the  filrn as quickly  as  it makes the
picture.   \Vhile  loading  and  unloading  the
carnera, be very careftrl to keep the protective
paperrvound   tightly  around the  film  to pre-
vent  the  light  striking   it.

Making the Exposures
            t'Snapshotst'
tTtHtr No. 2 CartridgeHawk-EyeCamera
  I      is  a  fixed-focLrs canlera.  therefore.
objects nearby and  at  a  distance  will  be
sharp.  Subjects  that  are  abor-rt eight  feet
and  farther  fron  the camera  will be sharo.
and even those as nexr as six feet, while not
as sharp, will be sharp enough for all practical
purposes.  Do  not attempt  to take  pictures
of  subjects  nearer  to  the camera  than  six
feet, v'ithout  using a Kodak  Portrait  Attach-
nent,  see page 19.
  The  shutter  of  this camera  is released bv
pushing lhe exposure lever B (Fig. l), eirhei
up or down with  the thumb.   Push the lever
slowly ancl in one direction only.
    If  the  lever stands at  the top  of the  slot
simply  push  it  to  the bottom,  or   if   it  is at
the bottom push  it to the top.
                        1 2

    If the lever is not pushed all thelvay  to the
other end  of  the  slot,  the  shutter  will  not             "click"move, no             will  be heard and no ex-
posure made.  Push  the  lever as  far  as  it
rvill go.
  When making snapshots, the subject should
be in the broad, open sunlight, but the camera
must  not.  The sun should be behind your
back  or  over  your  shoulder.    If   it  shines
directly  into the lens  it  will  blur  ar-rd fog the
picture.

Tilting  the camera  to bring  in the top  of
a  tall  building  produces the  distorted  effect
shorvrtin Fig.  IlI.   Sometimes a tall building
can be photographed from a building opposite,
at a level with  its center.
    If the subject is below the nonlral height,
like a surall child or a dog, the camera should
be held dorvn  level  rvith  the  center  of  the
subject.

portraits  are made rnore artistic, due to  the
softening effect of diffusion.
