PICTURE TROUBLES
(Cont.)
STREAMERS OF LIGHT
You
made a flash
color picture with
the Lighting
Selector
set to
bright
sun
only,
instead of
also
flash.
At
this small lens opening there was
not
enough
light from the flash so
the
elec¬
tric eye also made a time exposure
during
which you or the
lights
moved.
Or,
with
the correct setting you were
too far from the subject, the flash
was
too weak and the
electric
eye
also
made
a
time exposure.
CORNERS, EDGES VERY
DARK
This happens mainly with
3000
speed black
and white film and only
with subjects in the bright sun. Caused
by having the Lighting Selector set
to
INDOORS WITHOUT FLASH
when it
should
be set
to
OUTDOORS OR FLASH
(page 18).
It
may also occur, to
a
lesser degree,
with color in very bright
sun.
If so, shift
the yellow square in the Lighting Se¬
lector
to
BRIGHT
SUN ONLY
(page 20).
UNDEVELOPED AREAS IN PRINT
It may be a single blank white
area
or
a
combination
of
blank areas and
streaks (orange in color pictures) as
shown. You pulled
two
or
more white
tabs before
pulling a yellow tab,
caus¬
ing:
uneven
spread
of developer;
jammed film; or developer smeared on
rollers. Always inspect and clean the
rollers before
taking more pictures.
If
no yellow
tab
appears when
you pull
a white tab,
never
pull another
white
tab.
Follow the directions on page 26.
