The lens

en

the

ic

flash

unit

used

and

also

upon

the

distance.

The

of

the

flash

and

in

is

96

and

your

distance

12

ft.,

96

divided

by

12

is

8.

that

you

until

the

figure

8 on the

lens

opening

ring

is

opposite

the

setting

mark

. The

control

is

now

disengaged

and

you

are
