By pressing the flash-symbol (3), the  reflector
swings out, automaticallysetting the shutter speed
to 1/30 of a second. Favorable flash range: From
about 9 to 18 feet with black-and-whitefilm, with
color film from about 6 to 101/zfeet.





The flashbulb is inserted by pushing  it into the
socket in the reflector, after the flash guard has
been removed first. However, you should always
put the guard back on when shooting a piciure!
Dispose of the used flashbulb by pressing the
button (12) after the flash guard has again been
removed.
