Follow "the little man" through the illustrations. Before taking a trip or picturing that important event coming up, give yourself some practice by shooting a roll or two of film and taking a few flash pictures. You will give the equipment a workout too. Ifthereare any questions in your mind, your Kodak dealer will be glad to help you.

The Kodak Synchro-Rapid 800 Shutter pro- vides exposure times of 1/800, 7l4OO, ll2OO, 7llOO, 7150, L125, 7110, ll5, 712, and 1 second-as well as the speed index opposite the 800 dot. Use 1/50 second for average snapshots. With exposuresof 1/10 second or slower or "B," the camera must be on a tripod or other firm support. "B" exposures are explained on page 26. o The size of the lens opening, through which the light passes while the shutter is open, is changed by moving the lever across the /-number scale at the bottom of the shutter. For greater convenience, a dual /-number scale is located on the top rim of the shutter. The opening is largest when the lens opening lever is set at f 14.5 and smallest when it is set at f 132.Each succeeding lens opening from f 132 to f 15.6 admits twice as much light as the one before; for example, a setting of ll22 lets through twice as much light as f 132. The illustration above gives you a mental picture of how the size of the lens opening-'the opening through which light passes to the film-is changed as the lens opening lever is moved across the scale. The focusing scale on the lens is marked frorn 3tl feet to co (infinity). Use the infinity setting for distances 100 feet from the camera and beyond. When the subject is closer than 10 feet to the camera, determine the distance accurately-it is best to measure it or to use the Kodak Service Range Finder, an accessory which slides into the clip on the top of the camera. Use the depth-of-field scale to tell the nearest and farthest objects which will be in sharp focus. Instruc- tions for use of this scale are found on page 18.

Kodak black-and-white films have a wide latitude, a built-in safety factor, which allows you to give as little as one quarter the exposure indicated by the guide. This should be relied on only when necessary at the ltigher shutter speedsand under fauorable conditions.

The same exposure results with the other settings shown (f 18 atL1L00,f 116at|125, etc.). Your choiceis governed by other considerations (stopping motion, depth of field, etc.). The above illustrations and descriptions explain the subject types and lighting conditions covered by the exposure guide on your Tourist. For near-by people in marine, beach or snow scenes, or scenics with prominent foreground objects, give half the exposure indicated fot aueragesubjects. 11 Use Kodok Film No.620 KODAK VERICHROTI''EFTL'A The film for general outdoor pic- tures. It has wide latitude to help you get a good negative even though you slightly misjudge the exposrue. High in speed, it is also excellent for night photography with flash lamps. 8 exposures. KODAK PLUS-X PANCHR,OITATIC F'LM Combined high speed and fne grain make this film ideal for outdoor work and for well- lighted indoor subjects. 8 ex- posures. KODAK SUPER-XX PANCHROMATTCFILM Because of its very high speed, this film is the logical choice for making snapshots indoors with flood lamps. Indoors or out, it is the flm to use when the lisht is poor. 8 exposures. L2 KODAK ,,NFR.AREDFILM* The film for distant landscape photography when de- tail ordinarily obscured by atmospherichaze is desired. It can also be used to produce unusual pictorial results. The Kodak Wratten A Filter (No. 25) is recommended for use with this film. The above pictures were made with this filter. 6 exposures. KODACOLOR.F'LI[ For full-color prints use Daylight Type outdoors; use Type A with artificial light. Kodacolor Prints are ordered through your Kodak dealer. Since Kodacolor Film yields colored negatiues, black-and-white contact prints or enlargements can also be made as easilv as from regular films. 6 exposrues. KODAK EKTACHP.OII',EFTLTI This film produces full-color transparencies for pro- jecting, viewing, color printing by the Kodak Dye Transfer Process, or for Kodachrome Enlargements. It is not processed by the Eastman Kodak Company but by the photographer with the special chemicals supplied in convenient kits. Further information can be obtained from your Kodak dealer. *Infrared rays focus at a different point from uisual rays.
