LET'S MAKE A PICTURE
1. Insert a flashcube: Use only batteryless Magi-
cubes, or equivalent. Press the cube base into the
socket firmly_
2. Check
the LjD control: Ordinarily, it should be
left at the Normal position as shown. On the
back of some color film packs you may find printed
instructions advising you to set the LjD control
one mark toward LlGHTEN for ail pictures made
with that pack. Please follow that advice; it's
important.
3. Get set: Place your subject close to a back-
ground, which should be brightly colored, if pos-
sible. Stand
about 4 ft. away_
4 . Look: Hold the camera as shown_ Be careful
not to coyer the lower window (A) of the range·
finder. Look through the bright spot at the most
important part of your subject (eyes, for example).
You should see two images (four eyes). This shows
that you are standing at the wrong distance from
your subject.
OUT OF FOCUS
IN FOCUS
5. Focus: Move closer (and if you get too close,
back up) until the two images in the bright spot
become a single, clear image of the most important
part. You are now at the right distance. Disregard
other parts of your subject which you may see in
the bright spot.
6. Aim and shoot: Make sure your subject is
nicely placed within the bright frame line. Gently
squeeze the shutter release with your forefinger
or thumb until the flash fires. Then let go of the
shutter release, which will pop up again. The
flashcube automat i cally turns 90° after each flash.
After four flashes the shutter release will not pop
up; this is the signal to insert a new cube.
