FLASH PICTURES
   Films, Flashbulbs and Distances-Pictures indoors by flash are as
  easy to take as outdoor shots. Just be sure to use the correct bulb
   (clear or blue) for the film loaded in the camera, and observe the
  recommended camera-to-subject distance ranges as given below.
  For hpndy reference, distance ranges are shown on the back of the
  Flasholder.
O'For colour slides indoors, use 'Kodachrome-X' or 'Ektachrome-X'
  Film and AG-18 (blue) bulbs. The camera-to-subject distance must
  be between 4 and 7 feet (l'2-2 m).
O For colour prints indoors, use 'Kodacolor-X' Film and AG-l
   (tlear) bulbs. Camera-to-subject distance must be between 4 and
  10 feet (l'2-3 rn).
o For black-and-white  prints, indoors, use 'Verichrome' Pan Film
  and A'G-l (elear) bulbs. The camera-to-subject distance must be
  between 4 and 10 feet (1'2-3 m).
                                                              9

Taking Flash Pictures        I
To raise the Flasholder, first press the
nErEas-e n.ln to "pop-up" the Flasholder
slightly; then grasp the Flasholder and
raise it into the picture-taking position. The
Flasholder must be all the way up to make
electrical contact.
NOTE: With the Flasholder all the way up' the
shutter speed is automatically set to a nominal 1/40
second; with the Flasholder down, to a nominal 1/90
second. To permit acceptable exposure of outdoor
pictures under less lavourable  light conditions than
recommended on pageS(.e.when cloudy, butbright),
raise the Flasholder (remember to remove the bulb
 il one is fitted) to obtain the slower shutter speed.

Insert an AG-type flashbulb by sliding the
                    narrow edge of the glass base in between
                     the Flasholder coNrAcrs and pressing it
                   back against the ejector finger until it is
                        locked in place. To release a bulb, press the
                       bulb ErpcroR as far as it will go toward the
                         centre of the camera. Do not touch bulbs
                     during or after firing - they will be ex-
                       tremely hot.

                    NOTE: A lresh bulb can remain in the Flasholder
                             without firing when the Flasholder is retracted into
                            the body. Therefore, you can always be ready for a
                              quick flash shot - simply raise the Flasholder all the
                                vray and shoot.

               A  transparent plastic FT,AsHGUARD  is
                          packed with the camera. When taking
                               close-ups and groups, the use of the
                              Flashguard is recommended. Never take
                                     flash pictures in an explosive atmosphere.
                                            After inserting a flashbulb, hold

The distance from the flashbulb to the
 subject is important for correctly exposed
pictures. Therefore, make sure that the
 subject is not closer than 4 feet (1.2 m), and
not farther away than 7 feet (2 m) with blue
bulbs or farther than l0 feet (3 m) with
c/ear bulbs.
I{OTE: The most pleasing appearance of the sub-
ject's eyes will result when the flash picture is taken
in a brlghtly lighted room, and the subject is not
looking directly at the camera.

O Keep at least 4 feet (1.2 m) from your subject, hold
   the camera steady and don't obstruct the lens (with
   fingers, case or strap).
O Keep the camera lens and viewfinder clean. Dust
   with a well-washed handkerchief, or, if necessary,
  use'Kodak' Lens Cleaner.
O Protect your camera with the 'Kodak' Ever-Ready
  Gase (Code 792) and always use the wrist strap when
  taking pictures.
O For colour slides of distant views, sea and snow
   pictures, use a'Kodisk' Haze Filter.
O To emphasize white clouds in a blue sky, with
  'Verichrome' Pan Film only, use a 'Kodisk' Cloud
   Filter.
O For close.ups between 2l in (.54 m) and 48 in (1.2 m)
  use a'Kodisk' Close-up Lens.
