HOW TO DEVELOP
THE PRINT
First, the small white tab. Pull it all the
way
out of the camera. Don't block the door
(A).
Next, the
large yellow tab.
4
PULL THE TABS: Hold the camera
in
your left hand,
as shown.
(Don't
hold it
any
other
way !) Grasp
the
small white tab between the thumb and forefinger and pull
it straight out of the camera, all the way, without stopping.
When
you pull the
white
tab out, a
concealed door
(A)
opens and a
yellow tab pops out.
Don't block this door
in
any
way
while
pulling
the
tabs.
Pulling the small
white
tab does not start development.
It only prepares the film for the next step, which is pulling
the yellow tab. Grip the yellow tab in the center so it will
come
out
straight
when you pull it
out of
the camera. If you
pull the yellow tab out at an angle, one edge of your picture
may not develop properly.
24
When
you pull the yellow
tab,
hold the
camera so the lens
faces
straight
ahead of you, not pointing down. This, plus
gripping
the
center of the tab, helps you to pull
it
out straight.
Pull the yellow tab straight out of the
camera all the
way,
swiftly, without
hesitating.
This starts development of your
picture, so begin timing as soon
as you
get the tab out. How
fast is a swift pull? It
should
take about as
long
as
it takes
you to say "PULL
IT" briskly, each time you
pull the tab. If
your picture
is
full of white specks, pull
a bit slower.
The picture develops outside the camera. While it's de¬
veloping, hold the tab by the yellow tip, or lay the picture
assembly down flat.
Don't touch or bend the white
paper
