Sometimes it is desirable to "pre-focus" the
camera in order to make the shot quickly
without attracting attention. Simply esti-
mate the distance to the subject and use the
push button levers to bring the estimated
footage figure into position opposite the foot-
age indicator arrow (below the figure 30 in
illustration ) on the Visi-Ready Scale. Cock
the 'shutter and the camera is ready.
For general scenic and vacation shots, use
this method for simplified picture taking.
With Kodachrome and Ansco Color film, set
the diaphra ' gm at f/11 and Visi-Ready Footage Scale at 30 feet as shown above .
All
objects from approximately 15 feet to infinity will be in sharp focus. Note: For
this simplified method to obtain proper exposure, you should set the shutter
speed at 1/ 25th of a second for the above films. If using daylight-type Ansco-
chrome and Ektachrome, the faster shutter speed of 1/ 50th may be used with
the f/11 setting. This shutter speed can also be used with some black and white
films. If you shoot in bright sunlight, 'your camera will always be ready for use.
