o Picture taking with the l(odak l(eflex lI uamerais easy. But if you would like to make sure of gettinggood results everv time, right from the start,

spend a few minutes getting acquainted with your

camera before you load it with film.

o Then before your vacation or any important

event, why not make some trial shots just to be

sure that you understand your camera and know

that your equipment is operating properly. Your

Ji, finla,rProbably the first thing you'llwant to do is open the finderhood and look through thefinder. Just press the HooDLATcH and the panels of thehood will spring into position.When the camera is not in use,the panels are easily folded up,

first the sides, then the back and front.To bring the image int6 focus, turn the focusing ring

on either of the twin lenses until the subject seen in thefinder is sharp. A flick of your thumb brings the uecNr-rrBn into place over the center.of the image; with it youcan focus critically on the finest detail.

. The camera should usually be held so that it is cradledin the left hand as shown in the illustrations. Besidessupporting the camera, focusing, cocking and trippingthe shutter can all be accomplished with the left hand.This one-handed operation is a feature of the camerawhich leaves the other hand free, for example, to holdan extension flash.

For most pictures you will want to use the reflex finderbecause it is so easy to compose your picture on theground glass, including just what you want on the nega-tive. But sometimes, for example when you're taking

4

pictures of sports, you will want to

use the camera at eye level. To do

this, first open the hood; then

swing the magnifier up out of the

way and push in the center part of

the front panel. Now the front and

back panels of the hood form an

open-frame direct view finder.When you use the camera at eye

level, you can hold it either asshown in the lower illustration, orif you want the taking lens to bestill higher, you can hold it upsidedown. In either case, hold thecarrrera so that the front and rearframes are superimposed. This willcenter the eye correctly in thefinder.

To take pictures over the heads

eof a crowd, use the reflex finder.and

hold the camera upside down.For "fast shooting,?' the camera

may be held as in the illustrations,but with the fingers of the righthand grasping the winding knob,ready to, advance the film. Thefirst finger will be in position topress up the release knob.

SHUTTER SPEED

The length of time the shutter is open to

admit light to the film is controlled bysetting the snurrBR sPEED PoINTER e. Anyone of seven shutter speeds, 11340, 71100,1.150, 1,125, 1,11,0, U5, and 1/2 second can

be selected. Note that each setting givesan exposure time about twice as long-and therefore lets in about twice as muchlight-as the one preceding it. Of coursethis does not apply to 1/300.

Jl4 to J122, each smaller opening (larger number) admitshalf as much light as the preceding opening. Thus, if thecorrect exposure is 1/50 second atlf/l 1, then the exposureforl8 should be 1/100 second, and for f 116, 1125 second.

The exposure for the average outdoor subject, whenthe sun is shining, isJl17 and 1/50 second with KodakPlus-X Panchromatic or Verichrome Film. Rememberthis basic exposure-many of your pictures will fit thissituation. See pages 18 and 19.

DEPTH OF FIETD

Depth of field is the distance from the nearest to the

farthest point that is in sharp focus when you're taking a

picture. The depth-of-field scale will help you figure

these distances. The scale is used like this:

The figures corresponding to the lens openings on each side

of the INDEx MARK are used with the DISTANcE scALE as a

depth-of-field scale to tell the nearest and farthest dis-

tances which will be in sharp focus.

Focus the lens.

Then opposite the figures corresponding to the lens

opening used, read on the distance scale the nearest and

farthest distances that will be in sharp focus.

The smaller th'e opening, the greater the range of

sharpness in the negative. For example, if the camera is

focused for 10 feet and J13.5 is used, everything from

about 9 feet to 11 feet will be sharp' AtJll '1, however,

everything from aboutTrf feet to 15 feet will be sharp. il

The various types ofKodak Films described on these pages cover any picture-taking situation you will encounter.

KODAK VERICHROME FIIMAn all-purpose film, suitable for general outdoor use.High in speed, it has excellent latitude to help you get agood negative even if you misjudge the exposure slightlv.Orthochromatic sensitivity makes this film especiallysuitable for flash pictures of near-by people. 12 exposures.v620.

KODAK PIUS-X PANCHROMATIC FILMCombined high speed and fine grain make PIus-X idealfor general outdoor work and for well-lighted indoorsubjects. The low graininess permits considerable en-Iargement, and balanced panchromatic sensitivity assuresgood rendering of colors in tones of black and white. 12exposures. PX620.

KODAK EKTACHROME FIIMThis film produces full-color transparencies for project-ing and viewing, or you can have Kodachrome 3X Prints

made. 12 exposures. E620. It is not processed by theEastman Kodak Company but by the photographerwith the special chemicals supplied in convenient kits.See your dealer for more information.

KODAK SUPER.XX PANCHROMATIC FIIMBecause of its very high speed, particularly under arti-ficial light, this film is the Iogical choice for makingsnapshots with flood lamps. Indoors or out, it's the filmto use when the light-is poor or you need a high shutterspeed to stop fast action. Fully panchromatic. 72 ex-posures. XX620.

KODACOTOR FI IM

Here is an easy-to-use film that produces color negativeswhen developed. It is available in Daylight Type foroutdoors-and Type A for indoors with flash or floodlight. Blue flash lamps can be used with Daylight Typefilm, either as the main light source, or to fill in shadows.Processing'to a color negative is included in the film

No synchronizer is needed tomake flash pictures with theReflex II. All that is necessaryis a Kodak Flasholder, an ac-cessory which consists of abattery case and a reflector.The synchronization built into

the shutter assures that it will

be open when the flash of the lamp is brightest.

Batteries are not provided with the Kodak Flasholder.

In' order to get good synchronization, you must use

fresh "C" size batteries (photoflash are best) which test

at least five amperes. To avoid costly flash failures due

to weak batteries, get a Kodak B-C Flashpack from

your dealer. The Kodak B-C Flashpack uses a 22)$-volt

bat tery. (See page 36.)

The Flasholder is attached 1o the tripod socket located

bn the bottom of the camera. The cord fits into the

flash receptacle located on the side opposite the winding

knob. It is advisable to mount the Flasholder on this side

of the camera too, otherwise the connecting cord is apt

to fall in front of the lens. Next, consult the instructions

on the next page and you're ready to take flash pictures.

Comnlete instructions are included with the Flasholder.

Don't lay your camera aside just because the light is notstrong enough for snapshots. With longer exposures, youcan make many excellent pictures inside or in deepshade in the daytime, or of such subjects as floodlightedbuildings or fires at night. Be sure to place tlu camera on afirm support such as a tripodJor exposures longer than / 125 second.

A shot iike this is easily made near a window. Place alarge n'hite card, tablecloth, or photographic blottern'here it u'ill reflect lieht from the window to the shadowside of the subject.

l 6

A night scene like the picture below requires a muchlonger exposure than any of the measured intervals pro-vided on the shutter. For short time exposures, set theshutter speed pointer at "B"; then press the shutter leverdown and hold it. The shutter will remain open as longas the lever is held down. For exposures longer than10 seconds, set the pointer at "T"; then press the shut-ter lever down and immediately release it. The shutter

will remain open until the lever is again pressed.

Street scenes at night require a little care to preventstreaks in the picture from moving bright lights. Closethe shutter or put your hand momentarily in front of thelens when an automobile approaches.

Tell q Story

The best pictures are those which tell a simple story andtell it at a glance. This is true whether you are makingpictures of people or capturing the beauty of a landscapescene, and it is this quality which makes pictures ofgeneral appeal.

Pictures of children, for example, are usually better ifthey show the child doing something, not just lookingtoward the camera. With grown-ups as well, ttre inclusionof some accessory to engage the subject's interest is veryoften a help in getting a natural, unposed look.

You'll treasure pictures of day-to-day activities aroundthe home, perhaps including some entirely unposed ones.But whatever the subject, a moment spent in expressingan idea will repay you many times in satisfaction withyour finished prints.

30

Cropping

With the Kodak Reflex II Camera, you don't have to stopand decide whether you're going to malp a horizontal

picture or a vertical one. It 's easy to compose pleasing

pictures in the square format. Later, when you're making

enlargements, you may feel that the subject would appear

to better advantage in a print of different proportions.

When this happens, you'llfind the square negacivesideally suited to croppingjust as you want them, eithervertically or horizontally.And most photofinishers willmake cnlargements from theparticular area of the nega-tive you select.

Side ond Bock Lighting

Side-lighted pictures, in which the light comes from theside of the scene, frequently have an illusion of depthwhich is very difficult to obtain in a front-lighted picture.

Back-lighted scenes, too, are often more interestingthan pictures taken .of the same subject with the lightbehind you. Back lighting outlines foreground objects,adding life and brilliance to them.

With either side or back lighting, it is important toshield the camera lens.from direct light. Keep the lens inshade, or use the Kodak Lens Hood of the Kodak Com-bination Lens Attachments; see page 34.

The exposure for a back-lighted subject must be in-creased to secure detail in the shadows. {Jse the nextlarger lens opening or the next slower shutter speed.

3 2

Action Pictures

lVhen you photograph a moving subject, the total amountof light required is the same as that for a stationary sub-ject, but you can make sharp pictures by combining ahigh shutter speed with a correspondingly larger lensopening. Whenever possible, use 1/300 second; the Snap-shot and Flash Kodaguide will tell you in a moment whatthe lens opening should be. Children and pets shouldalways be classified as moving subjects.

In various sports and games, the subjects periodicallyslow up, or stop momentarily in poditions that suggestaction. If you release the shutter at the right instant,,$oucan capture a world of implied action in your pictures.

Look Beyond the Subiect

The full-size finder of your Kodak Reflex II Cameramakes it easy to compose each picture to best advantageand choose an angle of view which eliminates distractingelements in the background. For example, you can see ata glance a tree which might appear in the print to begrowing out of the subject's head. You can see, too,prominent horizontal or vertical lines, such as clapboardson the side of a house, which might detract from theprincipal point of interest in the finished picture.

Whatever the background, make sure that it is a set-ting or frame for your picture, not an intruding elementin the composition. Look beyond the subject;your cameramost certainly will.

atmospheric haze in landscapes. Three Kodak Wratten

Filters, the K2, G, and A, are recommended.

With a panchromatic film like Kodak Plus-X, the K2

filter (vellow) gives tone rendering of colors which closely

approximates what is seen by the eye. The G filter (deep

yellow) accentuates the contrast between clouds and sky

and is especially useful with architectural subjects against

a blue sky. The A filter (red) gives an even stronger effect

than the G, frequently producing spectacular results. It

should be used only with Super-XX or Plus-X Film.

Since a filter absorbs some of the light which would

otherwise reach the film, its use requires an increase in

exposure. The filter factor is the number of times the

exposure must be increased.
