LET'S MAKE A PICTURE
1.
Insert a flashcube: Use only
batteryless Magi
cubes, or equivalent. Press
the
cube base into
the
socket firmly_
2.
Check the LjD control:
Ordinarily, it should be
left
at the Normal position as shown. On
the
back of some color film
packs
you may find
printed
instructions
advising you to
set
the
LjD
control
one
mark toward
LlGHTEN
for ail pictures made
with that pack. Please follow
that
advice; it's
important.
3.
Get set:
Place your subject close to a back
ground, which should be brightly colored, if pos
sible.
Stand
about
4 ft.
away_
4
.
Look: Hold
the camera as shown_
Be careful
not to coyer the lower window (A) of the range·
finder. Look
through the bright spot at
the
most
important
part of your subject (eyes, for example).
You
should see two images (four eyes).
This
shows
that you are standing at the wrong distance from
your subject.

Focus:
Move closer (and
if you
get too close,
back
up) until
the two
images in the
bright spot
become
a single, clear image of
the most important
part. You are
now
at the right distance.
Disregard
other parts of your subject which you
may
see
in
the bright spot.
6.
Aim and shoot:
Make sure your subject
is
nicely
placed within the bright
frame line.
Gently
squeeze the shutter release with your forefinger
or thumb until the
flash fires. Then let
go of the
shutter release, which will
pop up
again. The
flashcube
automatically turns 90° after each flash.
After four flashes the shutter release will not pop
up; this is the signal to insert a new cube.
