ture
and sound opening
of the cartridge.
In
addition,
when
a
partially
exposed
cartridge
is placed in the
camera,
the
film-supply
indicator will be
at
"1," in-
dicating
a
"full"
cartridge.
However, if
you choose
to
remove
the film
cartridge
before it is fully
ex-
posed, be
sure
to
run
the
camera
for 1
or
2 seconds
to
advance
your
scenes
be-
yond
the
sound
opening in the
cartridge
to
avoid spoiling any
scenes. Note the
setting of
the film-supply indicator be-
fore
you remove
the cartridge. Mark
this
setting on
the cartridge so that it
will
appear
in the window. When you
re-insert this
cartridge
into the camera,
subtract
the marked
setting
from "1" to
determine the
setting at
which the car-
tridge will be fully
exposed.
For
exam-
ple, if the marked setting is "3M," make
movies until the indicator is
at
"%."
(Listen very carefully for the
sudden
"free-running" sound
of the camera
mechanism when the
indicator ap-
proaches
"%.")
This
gives
you
a
fully
exposed
film cartridge, but the
end-of-
film
pointer will
not
appear
in the finder.

camera care
cleaning
lenses-
The picture-taking lens
and
the viewfinder lenses
are
built into
the camera
and cannot
be removed for
cleaning. Clean the protective
glass
in
front of the
front
viewfinder lens
and
the pict1,lre-taking lens by first blowing
away any
dust or
grit from
the
surfaces;
then
gently
wipe the
surfaces
with
a
clean,
soft,
lintless cloth. If necessary,
use KODAK Lens Cleaner on the cloth.
Clean the rear viewfinder lens by first
blowing
away
any dust from the
sur-
face;
then
gently
wipe the
surface
with
a
clean,
soft,
lintless cloth.
cleaning
film
aperture-
Clean the
FILM
APERTURE in the camera frequently to
prevent buildup of dust at the
aperture.
Open the film-compartment door; then,
while holding the camera up so that dust
will not fall onto the rear of the lens, use
a
small,
soft
brush to clean the
aperture.
Remove
any
dust in the film compart-
ment.
sound-recording
mechanism
-
As the film
passes the
sound-recording
mechanism,
it "wipes"
away any
dust or dirt. There-
fore, you don't need to clean the
sound-
recording
head in your
camera.
