'by The depth of f ield can be determined reference to the depth-of-field scale on the lens barrel. With the camera focused on 2 meters and an aperture of f 116, the depth of field will be from 1.4 to 3.8 meters, i.e. the rangeenclosed by the number 16 on both sides of the red index mark. 23 SELF-TIMER lf you want to includeyourself in the prcture,use the Self-Tirnerand proceedas follows: a.

However,when photographinga moving subject under subdued light the use of a flash is recommended. Remove the plastic cover of the Accessory Shoe and mount an electronicf lash unit or f lasn gun in place. When usingan electronicf lashunit or f lashgun featuring a hot-shoe, simply insert it into the Accessory Shoe and keep the Protective Cap placedover the synchro terminal. lf your flash unit does not have a hot-shoe provision, clip it on the Accessory Shoe and plug the synchro-cordinto the synchro terminal of your camera, after removing the Protective cap. Turn the ExposureControl Ring to set it to the mark "J" . The shutter speedwill now be automaticallyset to 1/30second. Your Electro:35 is providedwith "X" contact,so picturescan be takeneither with an electronicflash unit or a flash gun. FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY (continued) Focus the cameraon your subject Read the camer.a-to-subjectrange off the Dis- tance Scale. Correct lens aperture is obtained by dividing the guide number'of the electronic flash (or flashbulb) by the camera-to-subjectdistance. Set the lens opening accordinglyby turning the Aper- ture Ring and trip the shutter. In flash photography, the correct exposure is determinedon the basisof the guide numbgr of the electronicflash unit or flashbulb.This guide number is normally indicatedon the packageor in the instructionmanual. To obtain the correct lens aperture,divide the guide number by the subject distance (metersor feet) as shown below (Distance in meters): GuideNumber (32) = (16) SubjectDistance (2m) LensAperture 29www.orphancameras.com ACCESSORIES To ward off extrane- ous reflected light, the use of the lens shade is advised.To fit the lens cap, flip back the lens shade as shown in the illustration. Filters are invaluable for special photo- graphic effects.
