Page 17 www.orphancameras.com Howto take FLASHPICTURES The shutter is synchronized for regular wire-filled flash bulbs (the "M" position of the Synchronization Selector) and for electronic flash (the "X" position also used for gas-filled bulbs). of the Selector F O R R E G U T AR F L A S H B U t B S ("M" position) Use the Polaroid Model 28L Flash Gun, which clips right to the camera and makes electrical connection in the clip no wires needed. The 'tEV" shutter settings for various distances are given in the flash guide on the back of the gun. Set the shutter at l/125 second. Focus with the rangefinder, and read the distances on the scale on the camera bed. The flash guide on the gun gives the proper "EV" setting for that distance. NOTE: if you are using the Self-Timer for flash pictures, set shutter to l/30 instead ot l/L25. (See p a g e 2 0 . ) Use "BOUNCE FLASH" for pictures with a natural daylight look. The #292 Bounce Flash Bracket makes this professional technique easy to use. Ask your dealer about the bracket. Page I 8 E L E C T R O N I CF T A S H ( " X " p o s i t i o n ) The "X" position of the Selector Switch provides zero-delay synchronization for high-speed electronic flash lamps (and gas-filled bulbs). Remove flash connector (see picture) and attach cord from flash gun. The fitting is a European standard, for which adaptor cables are available through your dealer. Exposure settings must be worked out experimentally for the individual gun, because of the wide variations in light output among the many units on the market. www.orphancameras.com ANdTIMEEXPOSURES SHOTS IND(|(IR The large lens apertures and slow shutter speeds offered in your camera make it possible to take many pictures indoors, using daylight coming through windows or high-level artificial illumination. At the slower shutter speeds, down to 1/15th sec., be particularly careful to hold the camera steady. At l/Bth sec., and below, use a tripod or other firm base to steady camera. You'll be using the lower "EV" numbers indoors, which means that the lens will probably be "wideopen" for most of your pictures. This requires extra care in focusing, and will limit the sharp zone of the scene. But the pictures can be very rewardingAvoid as much as possible a lighting situation which puts allthe light on one side of the subject, producing a h ighly-contrasty print wh ich is a pt to be u nf lattering.
