Here's the Secret to Perfect Exposure!
       Using revolutionarysolid-state"Electronic Com-
        puter Brain", which measuresthe light with com-                           ;$
         puter-like  precision, the  Yashica-engineered
         electronicshutter providesan infinite range of
        in-between speeds from a  full 30 seconds to
        1/500sec. lt will function at, let's say, 1l1B7 sec.
         or 16.2secs.,if the subjectbrightnessrequiresit.
       The  electric contact points of  the electronic
       componentsare finishedin gold to provideexcel-
         lent conductivity of  electricity for  foolproof
        operation. You can, therefore,take vivid color
         pictures even in  candle-lightdimness or  near
        darkness-withoutF lash!
