Kodak No. 2 Folding Pocket Brownie - p-12

3.. At the front of camera bed and on the side
opposite finder, you will . s~e a scale with slots
marked 8, 20. and 100 feet. Fig. 2. This is for
focusing the camera. Before extending bellows
set the catch in the slot .corresponding to the dis-
tance away of the principal object to be photo-
graphed.
FIG. 2
The catch is set by downward pressure on the
lever and then moving to the right or left. It is
not necessary to estimate the distance with any
more than approximate accuracy; for instance, if
the fo cus is set at 20 feet (the usual distance for
ordinary street work') the sharpest part of the
picture will be the objects at that distance from
the camera, but everything from 12 to 50 feet
will be in good focus. For general street work
the focus may be kept at 20 feet, but where the
principal object is nearer or farther away, the
focus should be changed accordingly. For dis-
tant views set the focus at 100 feet.
Extending the · Front
Now extend fr.ont of camera to limit of motion
(Fig. 3). This sets the focus for the distance
12 .
