IMPORTANT
  DEFORE taking any pictures with   LD your camera, and before loading
     it with film, read these instructions
     carefully.
      TVhile loading and unloading, be
   very careful to keep the protective
   paper wound tightly around the film
   to prevent light striking it.  The
   camera can be loaded or unloaded in
    daylight. This should be done in a
    subdued light, notin direct sunlight.
      To Loeo
     Use film number 120
    for the Rainbow Hawk-
   Eye No. 2, Model C.

  Push over the two catches AA, see
illustration on page 2.
  Remove the roll holder F.




  There is an empty spool in the re-
cess on the winding side of the roll
holder; this is to be used as the reel.
  The winding side may always be
distinguished by the round opening in
the roll holder, directly behind the
exposure lever^

Insert the spool of film in the recess
 opposite the winding side, drawing out
 one of the spring grips just enough to
permit the spool to drop into place.
Fit the spool pins into the holes at
each end of the spool.
  Important.' The word ((TOP"
which is printed on the protective
paper near the top of the spool must
be next to the side of the roll holder,
which has the round opening through
which the key is inserted in the reel.
If the spool of film is inserted the wrong
way the protective paper will come be-
tween the lens and the film and no
pictures could be made.





                                                                                                             !,:tl.l]]irr*

  Thread the paper through the
longer opening of the slit in the reel
as far as'it w'ill go. Give the spool twoor three forward turns to make the           "[*
paper hold securely on the spool.





  Be sure that the paper is started
straight. Do not unroll too much pro-
tective paper or the film will be fogged                                    Iand ruined.
   Insert the roll holder in the outside
box, so that the slotted end of the
spool comes next to the winding key
in the outside box.
   Fasten the roll holder to the outside
box with the two catches AA, see
 illustration on page 2.

      sure to wind the film, bringing the

      vents making two pictures on the
      same section of film.

  MAKING THB BXPOSURBS
         "Snapshots"
/.f1HE Rainbow Hawk-Eye No. 2,
 I  Model C, is a fixed-focus camera,       $
therefore, subjects that are about eight          I
feet and farther from the camera will                            i
be sharp, and even those as near as                             .
six feet, while not as sharp, will be
sharp enough for all ordinary purposes.
Do not have the subjects closer to the
camera than about six feet, without
using a .Kodak Portrait Attachment,
see page 12.

  The shutter of the camera is re-
Ieased by pushing the exposure lever B

    "click" is heard no exposure is made.
    ,Do not jerk the lever as any move-
   ment of the camera, at the instant of
    exposure, will blur the picture. '   When making snapshots, the sub-
    ject should be in the broad, open sun-
    Iight, but the camera must not. The
   sun should be behind your back or
   over the shoulder. If  it shines di-
    rectly into the lens it rvill blur and fog
   the picture.

  'When       making snapshots, hold the
camera firmly against the body. When
pushing the exposure lever, hold the
breath for the instant. If the camera
is moved during the exposure, the
picture will be blurred.

  Hold the camera steady and level, as
shown in the illustration on page 10,
and push the exposure lever once, as far
as it will go. This maltes the eaposure.
  Important: The exposure lever
must be pushed slowly to avoid jarring
the camera. If the camera is not held
steadily the picture will be blurred.
  All exposures must be made out-
doors with the subjects in bright sun-
light, and during the hours from two
and a half hours after sunrise until
two and a half hours before sunset.
     Holo CevrBne Lnvpr,
  The camera must be held level. If
all of the subject cannot be included
in the finder without tilting the cam-
era upwards, move backwards until
it is all inclu ded wi,th the camera held
leuel. See illustration on page 12.
   If the subject is below the normal
height, like a small child or a dog, the
camera should be held down level with
the center of the subject.

 Kooer PonrnalT ATTACHMENT
  The Kodak Portrait Attachment
makes head and shoulder portraits. It
can also be used for photographing
flowers and similar subjects.
  Place the Attachment in the lens
opening and compose the picture in
the finder. The subject must be eractly
31le feet from the lens; measure the
distance carefully from the lens to the
face.
  Use Kodak Portrait Attachment No.1

      RBvrovrNG THE Fnvr
   After all the exposures have been
made, turn the winding key until the
 end of the protective paper passes the
window. The film is now ready for
removal from the camera.





  In a subdued light, open the camera
and remove the roll holder as shown
on pages 3 and 4. Hold the ends of the
protective paper and the sticker to-
gether to prevent paper from loosen-
ing. If the sticker has been wound
under the roll, revolve the spool to
bring it up. Draw out the spring grip
just enough to release the spool and
lift out the roll of exposed film, as
shown in the illustration above.
                           l4

Fold under about half-an-inch of
      the protective paper, and fasten it
       with the sticker.
        "Cinchtt Marks: After removing     the film from, the camera, do not
      wind it tightly with a twisting motion,
       or the fiIm might be scratched.
         'Wrap             up the exposed film. It is now
      ready for development. This may be
      done by a photo finisher, or by your-
       self. If the latter is desired, you may
       write to our Service Department, men-
       tioning the size of the pictures made
      with your camera, and we will send
     you a list of the necessary materials
      which can be purchased from a Kodak
       dealer.
       Important: Film should be devel-
     oped as soon as possible after expo-
      sure. The quality of the image on all
                                 byt     sensitized products is retained      prompt, development after exposure.
       Remove the empty spool and place
         it in the re,ce$s on the winding side ofI      the roll hofder. The slotted enld of the
      spool must, show through the round
      opening in the roll holder.
          It is a good plan to reload the
