The film pack provides ten 31/a x
31/a inch pictures. In each pack is
a flat battery to supply power for
pictures made with that pack.
The picture counter,
on the rear
of the camera,
is blank when the
camera is empty, goes to 10
when a pack (even a partly used
or empty one) is inserted and the
film door is closed. It counts
down, tells you how many more
pictures you can take. After 10
pictures, it stops at 0, won't let
you waste a flashbulb.
To make a picture lighter, turn
the Lighten/ Darken control so
more white shows; to make a pic-
ture darker, turn it
so more
black shows. The control auto-
matically returns to the Normal
position (shown) when the
7
camera is closed.
