‘This exposure table is for the hours from 24 hours
after sunrise until 244 hours before sunset on days
when the sun is shining. (With Kodak Verichrome and
Super Sensitive Panchromatie Film exposures can be
made from 1 hour after si until 1 hour before
synset.) If pictures are made earlier or later in the day,
or if it is a slightly cloudy or hazy day, use alarger stop
opening.

Kodak Super Sensitive Panchromatic Film is fifty
per cent faster with morning or afternoon light, and
three times faster with artificial light, than Kodak
Verichrome Film. The speed of Kodak Panatomic Film

is approximately the same as Kodak N. C. Film, the
exposure guide for which is given above.

‘The largest stop opening is J.6.3. The higher the
number the smaller the opening.

The Kodak Anastigmat Lens
on this Kodak

is as fine an anastigmat lens as scientific
research and modern machinery have
been able to produce.

1 It was designed for use in this
particular Kodak by experts in
optical mathematics.

2 It is made up of two kinds of Jena
glass, barium crown and _flint—
each of the highest quality ob-
tainable.

3 It was fashioned by skilled lens
makers on machines that grind
and polish to within 1-50000 of an
inch of perfection.

4 It has passed rigid examinations
and optical tests required to meet
the Kodak standard of quality.

5 It was carefully fittedand mounted
in its shutter by experts so that
it will function at its best.

By using your Kodak according to
the instructions in this manual, you
will make consistently fine pictures.
