Seepage 19. Automqtic Exposure Control Look into the curved window on top of the shutter housing, and note the position of the green porNrER.If it points at AUro- MATrc as shown, the camera is set for automatic exposure control-that is,.the size ofthe lens opening is now controlled by the over-all brightness ofthe field as seen by the exposure meter. lf the green pointer is not at automatic, simply move the rcNuRr,EownEnr, to the right until the green pointer locks at automatic. The red EXposuREMETER. NEEDLE,also visible through the curved window, will move to the right or left, depending on the over-all brightness of the field as seen by the exposure meter. when the needle moves to the extreme left in the window, it indicates that there is not sufficient available light to take a properly exposed picture. Seepage I 5. When using the camera on the automatic exposure control setting, the exposure index rcNonmust be turned to the day- EXPOSURE light index number of the film in the camera to obtain properly exposed pictures. The indexes for No. 135 Kodak INDEX Films can be found in the instructions packed with the film. For example: the index for Kodachrome Film for SETTINGS Daylight is 10. Turn the exposure index knob until this number appears in the small window next to the knob as " shown. Position the number exactly opposite the arrow ( ( ). 10 S I-IUTTER S ETTIN GS The Kodak Synchro 80 Shutter has two speeds-the slower speed,40 (1/40 second); the faster speed, 80 (1/g0 second). Either speed can be used when taking pictures in daylight; however, the faster speed (80) is recommended to avoid possiblecamera movement. Use the slower speed(40) when taking.flash pictures; seepage I 9. To selecta shutter speed, turn the knurled spEED coNrRoL RrNG until the deiired speed (40 or 80) is in the ssurrnR spEEDwrNDow. The shut_ ter is cocked automatically when the film is advanced. Hondy SeltingsThe lens mouut has three subject zones- ct-osE-ups,cRoups, and scrurs-to enable you to select and set the camera-to-subject distance quickly. Simply rotate the lens mount until the diamond marking Q of the DISTANCE appropriate zone on the lens mount is oppositd the tri- angular mark A on the shutter housing. For example: the SETTINGS illustration shows the diamond mark of the cRouPszone set at the triangular index mark. This zone setting extends the range of sharpnessfor subjects from about 5Yz to 14 feet, when taking pictures on bright days with the camera set for automaticexposure control. Coreful Settings When taking flash pictures, as well as pictures on cloudy days, with the camera set for automatic exposure control, zone focusing should not be used. Esti- mate the camera-to-subject distance carefully and rotate the lens mount until the figure representing the camera-to- subject distance is opposite the triangular index mark. HOLDING THE CAMERA The illustrations sl.rowtwo ways of holding the camera.It is im_ portant that you hold the canlera steady and that your finger or the neck strap is not jn fronr of the taking ten;.; ;;. exposuremeter. ii t:,:,'- ,* i "W',,, When taking pictures, hold the camera close to your eye so that you can see the complete luminous view- frame.

The ( 3 on the right side indicates the upper edge of the picture when the subject is 3 feet from the camera. The part thus I eliminated at the top of the frame is added to the bottom of the frame. I Also seenin the viewfinder are two built-in signals- rra.q.Nand wrnn. Both signalsread vertically when visible. The Nl.qN signal indicates that the camera is set for manual, not automatic, exposure control. The wrNo signal indicates that the film must be advanced before the next picture can be taken. LOW LIGHT LEVEL INDICATOR ,/ Automatic Exposure Control A nno rNorcnron will appear in the lower left corner of the viewfinder if there is not sufficient available light to take a properly exposed picture at the shutter speed se_ lected. If the red indicator is seenwith the shutter speedset at 80, change the shutter speedto 40. If the red indicator is still visible, the available light is still not sufficient to expose the picture properly.
