To take bright outdoor daylight pictures
Stand so the sunlight comes from behind you or
from the side. Watch the background. When the
light on the background is much brighter than the
light on your subject, your subject will be too dark
in the finished picture. In these conditions, set the
Lighten/Darken control on the camera toward
Lighten and take the picture. When the back-
ground is much darker than your subject, your
subject will be too light in the picture. Set the
control toward Darken
picture.
1. Set the film selector to 80 for color film (and
Type 665 film) or to 3000 for black and white
3000 speed film.
2. ProPack System: Be sure the flash unit is
switched off. Both cameras: Be sure there is no
flashcube in the flashcube socket.
3. Once you have set the distance scale and
framed your subject, press the shutter release
as described.

To take indoor pictures without flash
Your camera has an extended range (ER) shutter
that lets you take black-and-white pictures
without flash indoors by using available light in
the scene. (If there is not sufficient light in the
scene, use flash.)
1. Load the camera with Type 87, 107, 107C or
667 black-and-white film.
2. Set the film selector to 3000ER, and rely on the
existing light from the scene. Indoors the light
source should be high overhead, behind you or
to your side. Avoid bright lights facing the cam-
era. For best results, use a tripod.
3. ProPack System: Be sure the flash unit is
switched off. Both cameras: Be sure there is no
flashcube in the flashcube socket.
4. Once you have set the distance scale and
framed your subject, press the shutter release
as described.
