Carrying the Retinettes
However elegant it may be to carry the Retinettes on a long strap hanging from the shoulder, this position is quite
unsuitable for quick action. A better method is to carry the camera on a short strap round the neck, so that it lies on
one's chest. Opening the case and lifting the camera up to the eye is then a matter of a split second.
The ever-ready case carries the camera ready for use; there is a camera holding screw which prevents the Retinettes
from falling out of the opened case.
SHOOTING
Top row: Advance the film with the rapid winding lever (left); set the light value (Retinette and Retinette I, centre;
Retinette II and IIB, right).
Second row: Select the aperture-speed combination (Retinette I, left; Retinette IB, II and IIB, centre and right).
Third row: Set the distance (Retinette and Retinette I, IB, left; Retinette II and IIB, centre), sight the subject in the
finder (right).
Left: Release the shutter to take the picture.
Shooting with the Retinettes
The manipulations here described should be practised so that in time they will become practically automatic.
