                                          Just the some procedure os is required

                                   ing of the occumulotor is done. No
                                    further operotion is necessory. The
                                     nickel-cqdmium occumulotors ore gos-
                                proof ond do not need ony speciol

                                 The stote of chorge of the occumulotor
                                  con be controlled by the time between
                                 the floshes. After the occumulotor  is
                                    rechorged completely the time between              .|2....|5floshes is         sec. After 20 floshes it will increose to 20 sec.
There will occur no domoge if you keep your occumulotor unchorged even
during extended periods. However, the occumulotor should be olwoys
rechorged in order to mointoin its full number of floshes (40...50).
Rechorging of o completely dischorged occumulotor  will be completed ofter

obout 14 hours. Overchorging the occumulotor occosionolly will not domoge
            the cells.     '            The time of service of the occumulotors  is very long. They moy be rechorged
n           obout 400 to 500 times.'l

             4. Reortivoling fhe flosh copocitors

          To moke sure thot the equipment operotes of full power ofter severol weeks
            of disuse, the CORNET must be connected to o suitoble moins supply, with
                                                                            1/+ lo 1/z hour. This procedure without              the operotion switch set toP, for. obout                                           e/.
             flosh operotion reoctivotes the flosh copocitors to their full roted volue, so
             thot the moximum number of floshes con be obtoined from on occumulotor
              cho rge.                                                                                     I

      5. Guide number ond operture
    The guide number is determined by the light output of the ULTRABLITZ
     equipment ond by the sensitivity of the film moteriol. The required operture
    con be colculoted with the oid of this guide number with the following
     formulq:

                           guide number                  operture :
                               distonce (between lomp ond subiect)

    The opertures shown in the odiocent toble ore opproximote only ond opply
     to photogrophy in mediumsized, bright rooms. The moximum output of light                                                    '
    ond therefore olso the indicoted guide numbers will be only reoched o few
     seconds ofter the signol lomp lights up. When toking pictures in the open,
      in lorge holls, ond generolly for from o reflecting surfoce, increose the lens
     operture by one or two stops. For distonce of less thqn 2.5 meters (obout 8 ft)                 {
     the colculoted operture must usuolly be increosed, of o distonce of I meter
10  (3 ft), for instonce, it should be increosed by one stop.

    At o consiont film sensitivity the guide number is o different one for reversol
     positive colour film, negotive colour film ond block-ond-white film. The
     oppropriote guide number for film moteriol of ony film sensitivity con be
     reod off the odiocent diogrom. Find the sensitivity of your film on the left-
    hond scole, follow  it horizontolly ocross until it cuts ocross the line for the
    type of film you ore rrsing (positive reversol colour film, negotive colour
     film or block-ond-withe  film), ond the required guide number is found verti-
     colly below the point of intersection. For instonce: block-ond-white  film
     17/10o DIN   guide number 30.                 -


     6. Negotive materiol ond development

    The light of the ULTRABLITZ is equivolent to doylight ot 5600o K; therefore
    for colour photogrophy use only doylight moteriol. For block-ond-white
     photogrophy, ponchromotic film with normol development is recommended.
    For the highest requirements, modern ropid developers will give brilliont
     negotives with correct rendering of grodotion. All the volues quoted opply
12  to normol development.

8. Specicl hints for obtoining even better snopshots with the
   ulrrablirz c0RNEI

Front lighting often results in flot pictures. Better pictures, showing the effect
of depth, con be obtoined by plocing the flosh lomp some distonce to the
side or obove the comero, but still oimed ot the subiect. The slight loss in
effective light con be compensoted by opening the operture of the lens o
little. Suitoble extensions for the synchronising leod con be obtoined from
ony photogrophic deoler.
The ULTRABLITZ considerobly extends your field of photogrophic by enobling
you to brighten deep shodows, especiolly necessory for colour film. Under
dull conditions o flosh provides "sunlight" while when photogrophing ogoinst
the light (contre-lour) it smoothes out excessive controsts.
An exomple of colculoting the correct operture:
     At o distonce of 3.5 meters, the guide number 28 gives on operture
   .   of f8.
      For the ovoiloble generol light, the exposure meter indicotes on ex-
      posure of llzs sec of f 8.
      Set the shutter to 1/25 sec.
      Set the operture to f '11 insteod of f 8.                                     15

www.butkus.us

      In this woy the flosh will hove obout the some effect qs the ovoiloble light.
    By reducing the exposure time, the effect of the ovoiloble light is'reduced.
