17. FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
You can use a flash at night or in a dimly lit room as well as for supplementary lighting in outdoor photography. The camera
and electronic flash will be fully synchronized with the shutter speed at "B" and 1 sec. to 1/125 sec.
Cordless
electronic flash unit:
If you are using an electronic flash unit with a built-in hot shoe contact, it can be attached directly to hot shoe on top of the
camera pentaprism.
Exposure for flash photography:
The exposure is determined by the guide number of the flash bulb or electronic flash unit. The guide number represents
a relationship between the light output of the flash and the speed of the film. Guide numbers for flash bulbs can be found
on the package and guide numbers for electronic flash units are found in the technical specifications. Using the guide
number, you can determine the correct f-stop for a given flash situation using the following formula:
F-stop = Guide number / Flash-to-subject distance
For example, if your flash unit has a guide number of 16 (m) or 52.8 (ft.) for the type of film you are using, and your
subject is 2 meters (6.6 ft.) from the flash unit as indicated on distance scale after focusing, divide 16 (52.8) by 2 (6.6).
The answer is 8; therefore, set f-stop ring at 8 (f/8).
Tips for Better Results:
• If you are using an auto electronic flash unit with power ratio control, follow the instruction sheets packed with flash unit.
• Most electronic flash units have a built-in dial or exposure table which enables you to quickly compute f-stops based on flash-tosubject distances.
• The Sears 8025 Auto Flash is available exclusively for use with the Sears KS Auto camera for automatic flash photography.
18. TROUBLE SHOOTING YOUR CAMERA
The proper operation of a precision instrument like the Sears KS 1000 camera requires strict attention to the correct
manipulation of controls. In many cases, the camera may appear to malfunction simply because some small detail was
overlooked, or the operations were not in the proper sequence. Before you decide the camera is broken, there are some
things you can look for.
Problem:
EXPOSURE METER NEEDLE WILL NOT MOVE TO TAKE READING.
Possible cause:
Improper shutter speed/aperture combination for film and light conditions. Try changing the shutter speed/aperture combination until
needle reacts. Or check to see that the correct type of battery is being used and has been inserted correctly.
