SHUTTER RELEASE
    The shutter release button of your ELECTRO
    35CC provides two distinctive functions. When
     pressed half-way, it activates the electronic
      exposure check system and turns on the red and
     yellow warning arrows in the finder. Wherr
      pressed all the way down,  it trips the shutter for
       fu lly automatic exposure.
    To prevent accidental tripping of the shutter, the
     Shutter Release Lock is featured around the
      shutter release button.
    To unlock, give the Shutter Release Lock one-
      fourth turn clockwise.
   To lock, turn the lock and align the marking
     with the letter "L" on the camera deck.

      the Back Cover by pressing it against the camera
     body until it locks automatically.
      4. Press the Shutter Release Button all the way
    down and then advance the film. Repeat this
      step until the  f igure " 1" appears.in the Exposure
      Counter Window. To advance the  f ilm, give the
      Film Advance Lever one full stroke.
      5. To determine whether the film is advancing
      properly, gently wind the Film Rewind Crarrk-
      handle in the direction of the arrow until a slight
       resistance is felt. As you advance the film, the
     Film Rewind Knob should rotate counter-
      clockwise as  il lustrated.

     ASA FILM SPEED SETTING
    To ensure proper function of the electronic
      exposure control, your ELECTRO 3bCC must
        first of all be set according to the speed rating of
      the  f ilm in use. To set the ASA  f ilm speed, move
      the ASA Film Speed Setting Lever and align it
      with the  f igure corresponding to the speed rating
     of the film in use. The ASA speed rating  is

EXPOSURE SYMBOLS
      After setting your canera according to the ASA
     speed rating of the film in use, select the
      exposure symbol. With this simple step, the
       electronic exposure system of your ELECTRO
    35CC will function to deliver perfect results,
      automatically. Select the appropriate Exposure
     Symbol and align it with the index line by
       turning the Aperture Ring.

     EXPOSURE CHECKING
       1. Advance the  f ilm and cock the shutter by
      manipulating the Film Advance Lever.
      This sets the electronic exposure control of your
     ELECTRO 35CC to "standby" condition.
      2. While sighting your subject through the
       finder, press the Shutter Release Button half-
     way. The absence of both the red and yellow
      arrows signifies that hand-held photography is
       possible. All you need do to obtain a perfect
       picture is to focus and press the Shutter Release
      Button all the way down.
    NOTE: To minimize natural drain of battery
      power, avoid keeping the shutter cocked when
     your camera is to be left unused for any length
       of time.

EXPOSUR E CH ECKI NG (Gontinued)
      3. When 'the Shutter Release Button is half-
       pressed and the RED arrow comes on, it is an
        indicat,ion of over-exposure. Turn the Aperture
      R ing In the direction of the arrow u ntil  it
       disappears. lf it fails to turn off, use a neutral
       density filter.
      4. The appearance of the YELLOW arrow
       signifies too little light for hand-held photo-
      graphy and                    signals that the exposure will be                     .1-130     made at      sec. or slower shutter speed. Turn
       the Aperture Ring in the direction of the arrow.
        lf the yellow arrow fails to disappear, use a
       tripod for  f irm support of your camera. Whether
     the yellow arrow disappears or not, precise
      exposure will be determined and set auto-
       matically.

     FOCUSING AND COMPOSING
      1. Sight through the Viewfinder and turn the
      Focusing Ring in either direction until the two
      images in the tinted focusing area form one clear
       image.
      2. Compose your picture within the bright
      trimming frame. The marks within the frame is
       for parallax correction when shooting subjectat
      close range. Center your subject in the area
      outlined bV these marks when photographing at
       short ranoe.


                                                                 out of focus           in.focus

FILM UNLOADING
 1. After the last exposure, oo not attempt to
advance the film further as it mav tear or come
 loose, making it impossible to rewind it into the
cassette.
2. Before opening the Back Cover, the film musr
lre rewound into its cassette. press the Film
Rewind Release Button on the base of the
camera.
3. Fold out the crank-handle on the F ilm
Rewind Knob and turn it in the direction of the
arrow until a slight resistance is felt. Continue
winding until you feel it turning freely. Then,
open the Back Cover, remove the film cassette
and send it out for processing.

DEPTH OF FIELD
Depth of field is the area in front and behind the
subject on which the camera is focused, within
which all objects also appear acceptably sharp in
the picture. lt varies with the aperture and is
more extensive    :
a) when the lens is stopped down
b) when the camera is focused on a distant
   subject
c) in the background rather than the foregro-
   und.
The COLOR-YASH INON DX 35mm f/l.8 tens
of your ELECTRO 35CC provides an extensive
depth of field. By taking full advantage of this
feature, you can obtain perfect results with a
minimum fuss over focusing. Refer to the
Depth-of-Field Table on Page 50.                                             f /16

TIPS FOR BETTER PICTURE.TAKING
    The sophisticated electronic system of your
    ELECTRO 35CC will provide perfect automatic
      exposure setting under virtually all light con-
      ditions,  f rom bright outdoor situations to
       candlelight dimness. When shooting against light
      or when photographing open r..n.i rid.r uridnt
       sunlight, etc., better results can be obtained by
      mak ing exposu re compensatio n.
      1. Snow scenes or beach scenes.under briqht
       sunlight
    To prevent over-exposure, reset the ASA Film
     Speed Setting Lever to 1b0 or 200 when a film
      with a speed rating of ASA 100 is in use.
     2. Backlit subjects
    To bring out greater details of the subject when     shooting against light, reset the Film Speed   $ffi
     Setting Lever to ASA 50 when a film with a
      speed rating of ASA 100 is in use.
    When the main subject is the point of interest,
      use the largest aperture suited for the prevailing
        light. lf a greater depth of field is required, stop
     down the aperture as required.
     Use the lens shade to ward off extraneous light
33  when shooting outdoors.

www.butkus.us
       SE LF.TIME R
          lf you wish to include yourself in the picture,
        use the Self-timer and proceed as follows  :
        (a) Advance the film, (b) move the Self-timer
       Lever all the way down and (c) press the Shutter
      Release Button. The shutter will be tripped
       about B seconds later.





     CABLE RELEASE
    To prevent camera shake when making ex-.     ,iiiiiiliilll1iiiirl       posures at 1l3O sec. or slower speeds (indicated
      by the yellow arrow in the finder), mount the
      camera on a tripod and trip the shutter by using
       a cable release.
      Mount the cable release in thesocketprovided on
       the Shutter Release Button.

35

FILTER
      Because your ELECTRO 35CC features a CdS
       sensor directly over the lens, any type of filter
      mounted over the lens will cover the sensor, thus
       eliminating the necessity for compensation of
         filter factor.
       All types of Yashica Filters for color and B&W
      films are available. Use them selectively to
       ensure the best possible results.
     Your ELECTRO 35CC accepts 52mm screw-in
       type  f ilters.
