o Distinctive modern styling and built-in picture-
making aids keynote the brilliant new Kodak Tourist
Camera. The ingenious shutter exposure release built
into the bed-the sliding exposure guide-the handy
depth-of-field scale on the shutter plate-these are only
a few of the features that make the use of this camera a
new experience in folding-camera ease and efficiency.
  To realize the full capabilities of your camera, read
the simple instructions in this manual and follow
"the little man" through the illustrations.

When you aim your camera at a subject and snap the
picture, a flash of light passes through the camera
lens to the film and produces an invisible image of
the subject on the film.
  Think of the a b c's of camera operation this way-
adjust "a" to control t}:.e length of time that the shaft
of light strikes the film-adjust  "b" to control the
e{I'ective size of the shaft of light-adjust "c" to con-
trol the sharpness of the reflected image that the shaft
of light carries to the fiIm.
 Now that you are familiar with your Tourist a b
c's, study the simple additional details that follow for
sharp, well-exposed prints.

For Averoge Snop-
shots with Kodok Plus-
X or Verichrome Film,
turn lhe knurled collor
until the INDEX LINE is
<rt "50" (l /50 second).





     The length of time the light is permitted to reach the
      film is controlled by rotating the outside knurled
        collar of the shutter until the index line is at the desired
      speed. The Flash Kodamatic Shutter is designed for
      exposures of tl2OO, 1/100, ll5O, 1125, and 1/10 second
            well as "Tt' and "8" exposures.     -asUse 1/50 second for average snapshots; for moving
       objects, use the faster shutter speeds.
       With exposures of 1/10 second, "8" or "T," the
      camera must be on a tripod or other firm support.

The size of the lens opening, through which the light
passes while the shutter  is open, is changed by moving
the lever across the /-number scale at the bottom of
the shutter.
  The opening is smallest when the lever is at f 132.
Each succeeding setting admits, in a given exposure
time, twice as much light as the one before; for ex-
ample,  f 122 lets through twice the light ot f 132, f ILG
twice that of  f 122, and so on down to f 15.6. The open-
ing f 14.5 is not a full lens opening larger than f 15.6, and
admits only 50 per cent more light.

The illustration above gives you a mental picture of
how the size of the lens opening-the opening through
which light passes to the fiIm-is changed as the lens
opening lever is moved across the scale.

The focusing scale on the lens is marked frorn 3l  feet
to INF. (infinity). Use the infinity setting for distances
100 feet from the camera and beyond.
  When the subject is closer than 10 feet to the
camera, determine the distance accurately-it  is best
to measure it or to use the Kodak Service Range
Finder, an accessory which slides into the clip on the
top of the camera.
  Use the depth-of-field scale to tell the nearest and
farthest objects which will be in sharp focus. Instruc-
tions for use of this scale are found on page 18.

 EXPOSURE GUTDE
The exposure guide on the back of the camera indi-
 cates, quickly and easily, the correct exposure for
Kodak Films, with two common subject types under
 the three most common lighting conditions.
  The exposure f lll  at 1/50 second (C) is the basic
 exposure for average subjects in bright sunlight with
 Kodak Verichrome, Plus-X or Kodacolor Films. The
 other combinations of lens opening and shutter speed
 shown (/i8 at 1/100, f 116 at ll25 etc.) give the same
 exposure, but a choice of these is governed by other

considerations (stopping motion, depth of field, etc.).
   Illustrations and descriptions of subject types and
the lighting conditions under which they may be pho_
tographed appear above. Near-by people in marine,
beach, or snow scenes, and scenics with prominent
foreground objects require less exposure than the
auerage subject. For this type of subject proceed as
follows: Set the exposure guide for an auerage subject
under existing lighting conditions; then use either one
lens opening smaller or one shutter speed faster than
that indicated for ttre auerage subject.
