Once you get the simple operating
routine down pat, load a film pack. We
suggest that you start with black and
white. Please remember that even the
finest holder and film need some help
from the photographer if they are to
produce good pictures, That help can
be summed up in one sentence: Plan
and think before you shoot. As a
starter, read carefully the instruction
sheet packed with your film. Those
instructions may change from time to
time, so it's a good idea to review them
‘occasionally.

good picture every time, here are seven
helpful hints. They're important,

1. Be careful about exposure.
2, Move in close, to get a big image

ly with flash.

‘As you go through this booklet you'll
find these seven points explained in
detail. They can make the difference
between getting good pictures and poor
ones,
