HOW TO USE 3000 SPEED FILM IN DIM LIGHT WITHOUT FLASH
Set the camera
on
a solid
surface,
press the back
of
it
down firmly to prevent
movement.
Rest
your
elbows on something.
Brace it against a wall
or
door.
For subjects lit
by
ordinary
household
lamps
(tungsten bulbs) set the
L/D
control here.
For window
light
or
fluorescents.
set
it here.
If there's enough
light to
read comfortably,
you
can use
3000
speed
film
to make
good
black and white pictures
indoors
(or outdoors)
without
flash. Set
the
yellow square in
the
Lighting
Selector
to
indoors without
flash
and
the
L/D
control as shown above. The shutter will move slowly, so
the camera must be rock steady or your pictures
will
be
34
blurred. Try to
place your subjects so
the
light on
them is
even. Don't include
bright lamps or windows in your picture
or it will come out too dark. In very dim light the
electric
eye
will
make
a
time exposure, which
may
be as
long
as several
seconds. Hold No. 2 button down and don't move until you
hear the second click
as the shutter
closes.
