and that an unexposed section of the film is in
position. (Model B)
The sun must be behind your baek or over
the shoulder. If the sun shines directly into
the lens it will blur and fog the picture.
Hold the camera leuel.
Hold the c&mer& steady when making in-
stantaneous exposures or snapshots. The
camera should be held firmly against the

hold the breath for the instant. If the camera
is moved during thc exposure, the picture will
be blurred.
Turn u new section of film into position
