POSSIBLE PICTURE PROBLEMS (cont .)
Corner mlsslMg: Vou pulled the
yellow tab out at an angle in
stead of straight out. Always hold
the camera by the flexible T
handle when pulling the tabs out,
and grip the yellow tab at its
center, not at a side edge.
Too dark: The L/D control may
have been turned toward
DARKEN_
Or, your film pack may carry a
label
with
instructions to set
the L/D control toward
LIGHTEN
for ail pictures made with that
pack. Flashcube variations may
also cause a dark picture.
Weak colors: The picture was not
developed for the full time given
in the film instructions. If in
doubt, it is better to develop the
picture for slightly more than the
recommended time than for too
short a time. See the film in
structions for details.
Red eye: Light from the flash is
reflected from inside the eye. It
can happen with adults but is
more common with children. The
chances of having red eyes can
be reduced somewhat by having
the subject look elsewhere than
at the camera, and by shooting
the picture in a weil lit room (the
pupils of the child's eyes will get
smaller because of the bright
room light).
Too light: The L/D control may
have
been
turned
toward
LIGHTEN.
If the subject's image
is very big and is not quite sharp,
you
were too close;
use the
rangefinder carefully, as shown
on page 4.
Oblong in print: Vou didn't pull
the white tab ail the way out of
the ca mera. When you pulled the
yellow tab out, the white tab was
dragged back into the camera
and spoiled the picture. Always
pull the white tab ail the way out
of the camera.
Too dark; out of focus: Vou were
too far away from the subject.
Use the rangefinder carefully, as
shown on page 4.
