 w_e hqve prepcred qn exposure guide for this speed
 film. On the sqme pqge, you will find qn exposure
quidg for film having q Weston rcting of 32. You
should study both of these exposure guides, qnd test
yourself by studying the light conditi,ons on severql
 different_                Then figure out which in your opin-           fu_bjects.ion would be the proper exposure for eqch lubjecl.

        1IGHTTNG THE SUBIECT
   Light is qs importcnt in photogrophy as gasoline is
to qn cutomobile. Alwcys remember, to mqke good
pictures, you must properly expose the film. The rapid
rise in popularity of color film mqkes it imperative thot
you give- cctreful thought qnd study to lighting condi-
tions qnd the exposure of your film.
  Lighting is of vitcl importcnce regcrrdless of which
film you use. When workinq with blqck ond white film
the fbrm cnd shape of you-r subjects qre mqde more
interesting by shqdows. The excct reversql of this is
true_ when you qre working with color film. When
working with color film the colors of your subjects-qndprovide                qnd produce the shcpe        _the contrqst,form of the subject. Shqdows, especiclly hecvy blcck
shqdows, should be cvoided.
  For best results with color film, the source of light
should be qlmost directly behind the cqmerq. A f[ot,
front lig}-rti+S on your_ subject is the best. Side lighting
or_bqck lightin_g should be avoided when working witfi
color films, unless_you use a reflector to throw li{ht up
into the dqrkened qreos of the subject. Also qvoid

directly overheqd. The sUn, in this position, mqkes
                                              These 4""p shqdows qround the eyes cnd the neck. d9"p shqdows ccn only be iemoved through the use
 of q reflector. You will find thct some of- your best
 results with colored pictures will be obtqined when
 the sky is lightly ovbrcqst or when your subject is
 in open shqde, receiving light from the sky but not
 directly in the sun.
 A grect deql more ccre must be exercised in deter-
mining the proper exposure for color film thqn is re-
quired with black ond white film. This is becquse
color film hqs considercbly less lqtitude for exposure
error. Incorrectly exposed pictures will be slighlly off
color and they will lqck clarity qnd shcrpndss.  - The
exposure guide for colored film on pcge 20 should be
studied with extreme cqre. The bcsic exposures given
in the tqble qre bqsed on the use of froht lighting as
described qbove. When it is qbsolutely nec6ssary to
use side lighting on the subject be sure-to use ct l-eqst
one dicrphragm opening lcrger thqn for front lighting.

Qlii    TYPE A FITTER FOR COTOR FILM|,]
        Indoor color film is different from regulcr dcrylight
       color film. It is especiclly prepared for use with white
       photoflood lights. This film connot be used in sunlight
      6r dcylight uhless o Type A filter is used on the lens.
       This speticl filter is required to chonge thg quolity of
      dcylight to thct of regular photoflood illuminqtion;
       thelefbre the color of the filter is redish yellow. It is
      not necesscrry to use the hqze filter when using the
     Typ" A filter. When using the Type A filter with in-
      door color film outdoors, the speed rcting of the film
       is then the sqme qs thqt given the regulqr outdoor
      color film. When using the indoor color film with
       photofloods, it is not necessqry to use cny filter.
        Regulcr color film, prepcred especiclly f9r use in
       daylight, cqn be used with regulcr white photoflood
        lights, if the proper blue filter is used in front of the
       lens. The use of the blue filter is not prccticcl becquse
!      of the effect of the filter on the speed of the film. The
      speed of the film is cut down to less thqn hclf when
      the blue filter is used. Reqsonqbly good results cqn
     be obtqined with day light color film by using blue
      photoflood lights. With these blue lights no filter is
      required. Blue photoflood lights qre especiclly useful
     when there is q combination of doylight qnd qrtificiol
         light.

FII.TERS FOR B1ACK A]ID WH|IE FTtfiI
 YETTOW FITTERS
  The filters for blcck qnd white film cre mqde in
 vcrying degrees of yellow, red, green ond blue. The
 most popular filter, qs well qs the most useful, is the
 yellow f!lt"t. There qre mqny shodes or intensities of
 yellow filters, but the most wiitely used is the "medium
 yellow" Iilter. The_ yellow filter lielps the lens to pene-
 tr_cte mist, fog cnd hqze. It helps to shorpen up your
 pictures_ by giving _better detqil especially i"  s-frdaea qrecrs. It reduces the glore from sun, wqter or sqnd.
 It clso tends to dqrken-the blue oJ the sky sufficiently
 to qllow the white clouds to stqnd out molre ncturoily.

 RED FITTER
  Another populcr filter is the "red" filter. This filter
 is olso qvqiloble in q vqriety of intensities of the color.
  The red filter is used fof more drqmotic effects. It

   PIANNTNG AND TAKTI{G PTCTURES
  Alwoys plcn interesting pictures thqt tell c story.
Your first movies will likely be of the children, the
fcmily and your close friends. Alwcys qvoid qny
ottempt to mqke the subject qct, or pose in front of the
cqmerq. Hqve them relcu< qnd act nqturql. Never tcke
pictures directly into the rqys of the sun. Before high
noon or ecrly qfternoon is the ideql time to tqke
movies. Don't make the mistqke of "clipping" scenes
too short, keep the cqmerq opercrting long enough on
eqch scene. When q short scene is projected upon
the screen it flqshes on cnd off so quickly it is difficult
for the eyes to grosp the mecrning of the imcge. You
should never run less thon Ly2 to 2 feet of film on
eqch scene, qt times you will use c longer period,
depending on the importqnce of the subject. You cqn-
not conveniently toke pictures and wqtch the footcae
meter ct the sqme time, however you cqn eosily mem-
orize operating time   IT TAKES ABOUT 5 SECONDS                     -           OF FILM. TIME EACH SHORTTO RUN I FOOT
SCENE FOR AT TEAST EIGHT SECONDS.
  Close-up scenes cnd portraits qre interesting qnd
qdd to the vqriety ond interest of your reels. CAU-
TION   Be sure the entire subject or fqce you wish to
      - seen in the center of the finder. Only whot istqke is
seen in the view finder will be recorded on the film.
The only exception to thct stqtement is when you qre
taking extreme closeups of less thqn 4 feet, then it will
be necessqry to center subject with center of lens by
meqsurement. (See pcge l0 for closeup locusing limitc-
tions while using universql focus lens.)

EXPOSURES WITH FIOOD1IGHTS
  Molion pictures of Iine quclity mqy be mqde indoors
at night with Color or Blqck-crrd-White FiIm. There qre
only cr few detqils to consider for mcking satisfactory
indoor pictures. Follow the Photoflood Exposure Guide.
Be sure of proper light distribution qnd use proper
exposure stop on lens. Also follow these suggestions.
    lst. Arrange lights so they come from different directions
   this brecks up strong shqdows cnd gives finer detqil to the-
   pictures. II you cre using two Mqzdq lcmps   plcce one on  eqch side oI cqmerq, this will give crn even- distribution oI
    light on subject.
   2nd. Use white photofloods with bright reflectors. Number I
   photollood bulbs hove a rqted life of two hours. Number 2
   photollood bulbs hcve o rqted life of six hours ond will give
    slightly more thqn twice the illuminqtion of the number I bulbs.
  To conserve lomp life, turn them out when scene is complete.
   3rd. Direct some light behind the subject to lighten the bqck-
   ground.
   4th. Eliminqte bright rellections glorinq into the cqmerc Jens
      rellections will fog pictures.   -
   Sth. Loccte lomps higher thcn subject. The liqhts should flood
   the subject. Tqke care that lcmps do not show in picture. De-
   termine this by looking through view finder.
   6th. When p-ossible use c tripod for indoor pictures, or rest
  cqmerc on tcble or stqnd    to keep cqmerc stLcdy.                              -
   7lh. Remember the distqnce between the ccmera ond subject
  does not aflect the exposure.  It is the distance from lighi to
   subject thqt is importont. Do not crowd your subjects. stqnd
   well bqck with cqmera to include os mulh of the subject as
   desired, but of course the rellectors must not show in linder.
   8th. Follow the PHOTOFTOOD EXPOSURE GUIDE. Tcke cmpte
   time qnd excellent results will follow.
