FO UR ESSEN TI ALS.
Before making an exposure wi th t he NO.4 Bullet Specia l,
either t ime or instantaneous, be sure of four things:
First -That the shutter is set properly.
(For time. Hl evc r " or instantaneous e xposures as desired.)
Second -That the dia phr agm is set at the prope r open ing.
T h
ird- That the Kodak is focused.
F ou rth- T hat an une x posed section of t he film is tu rned into
posit i on and the dark slide withdrawn. (Or a fresh
plate is in position.)
Section 2
.- Instantaneous Exposures.
(S " ap Shots.)
To take instantaneous pictures th e object must be in the
broad, open sunlight, but the camera should not. T he sun
should be behind the back or over the shoulder of the operator.
J,- FOCUS ON THE SUBJECT .
Set the focus by
turning the pointed
end of indicator over
the figures on the in-
dex dial nearest the
estimated distance of
the pri1lcipalobject to
be photographed in
fe e t.
It is not necessary to
e!-.timate the distance with
an y more than approximate
accuracy; for instance, if
the focus is set at 25 feet
(the usual dista n ce for ordi-
nary street work), the
sharpest part of the pic-
ture will be the obje cts at
that distance fr0m the camera, but everything from IS to 35 feet will be in
good focus . For general street work the focus may be kept at 50 feet, but
where the prillcija l obj e ct is nearer or farther aw ay, the focus should be
moved accordingly. The i ndex plate is divided for 6, 8, 10 , 12 , IS, 2 0 , 25,
50 and 100 foot focus. Nothing nea r er than 6 feet can be focused.
