TITAE EXPOSUR.ES
When the light is too dim for the snapshot or the slow,
measured speeds, use a time exposure. The night scene
shown below is an example of the many picture-
taking possibilities with time exposures. The camera
must be placed on a tripod such as the I(odak Eye-
Level Tripod, page 33, or other support for exposures
longer than 1/25 second.
For time exposures, set the shutter speed index at
"B"; then press the shutter release for the desired inter-
val. The shutter will remain open as long as the shut-
ter release is pressed.
For long time exposures, the use of a Kodak T.B.I.
Cable Release No. 2, available from your
Kodak
dealer, is recommended. The plunger of this cable
release stays down until released, to keep the shutter
open for as long as desired. Use a firm pressure on the
release to open the shutter. The use of a cable release
for "B" exposures minimizes the danger of jarring the
camera during exposure. Instructions for its use ac-
company each release.
