Making
the
Exposures
T
HE
Panoram
Kodak
as
the
name implies, is
for wide
out
-door views with
the
subject
at
least twenty feet from
the
came
ra,
and
is for
instantaneous exposures only.
The
sun
must
be behind your back or over
the
shoulder. This is more imperative with
the
Panoram
Kodak
than
with an ordinary camera, as
the
lens movement makes shading of
the
lens
almost impossible
and
prevents
the
taking
of
pictures towards
the
sun.
1.
Drop
the
lens cover or flap
and
raise
the
hood of
the
finder
to
a
right
angle. Do
not
carry
the
Kodak
with
the
lens cover or flap down.
2.
The
plate with
the
words
"SLOW"
and
"FAST"
indicates
the
speed of
the
shutter,
and
the
speed indicator
I,
Fig. I, page 4, should be
moved
to
the
proper word for a slow or fast
exposure as required.
Use the
"SLOW"
exposure for all
ordinary
or
average subjects.
Use
the
"FAST"
exposure for views
at
the
seashore, on
the
water,
and
for
very
distant
views when
th
e sunlight is
unu
sually bright.
3.
"Set"
the
shutter
by
moving
the
tension
lever
C,
Fig. I, page
4,
from one side of
the
slot in
which
it
travels,
to
the
other
(Fig.
VII,
page
12
).
Be sure
to
move
it
all
th
e
way-unt
il it clicks.
The
shutter
is always
"set,"
ready for
an
expos-
ure, when
the
lens
and
the
tension lever are
both
on
the
same side of
the
finder.
