TIME EXPOSURES--INDOORS
|
Open the front of the camera as described on page 8. For time exposures the camera must always be placed on a firm support like a tripod, Optipod, table or chair, never hold it in the hands. It has two tripod sockets for use with a tripod or an Optipod. |
Place the camera in such a position that the finder will include the view desired. The above
diagram shows three positions for the camera. It should not be pointed at a window as the glare of light will blur the picture. If all the windows can not be avoided,
draw the shades of those within range of the lens.
If the camera is placed on a table, use the locking lever 2, as a support. The camera must
not be more than two or three inches from the edge of the table.
 |
For horizontal pictures, turn the camera finder and locking lever 2, as on page 26.4www.butkus.org
Focus the camera as described on pages 11 and 12.
Adjust the shutter for a time exposure, see page 10.
All being ready, press the push-pin or the exposure lever carefully, once to open, time the exposure by a watch, and again press the push-pin or the exposure lever to close the shutter. |
 |
 |
After making a time exposure, turn the winding key until the next number appears in the
red window. If no more time exposures are to be made, adjust the shutter for an instantaneous exposure, see page 9.
Another method of making time exposures is to hold the hand or a card close to the shutter,
open the shutter and take the hand away for the length of exposure required, return the hand
and close the shutter. See illustration at bottom of page 26.4www.butkus.org
Exposure Table for Interiors
The table on page 28 gives suitable exposures for varying conditions of light, when using
stop No. 2.
With stop No. 1, give one-half;
"
" No. 3, " twice;
" " No. 4, " four times the exposures given in the table.
The smaller the stop opening the greater the depth of focus, see page 13. Stop No. 2 gives
the best average results for Interiors.
TO MAKE A PORTRAIT
Click here for Exposure Table for Interiors
The subject should be seated in a chair partly facing the light with the body turned slightly
away from, and the face turned towards the camera which should be a little higher than an
ordinary table. The subject should look at an object level with the lens, or directly at the lens.
Compose the picture in the finder. For a three quarter figure the camera should be about
eight feet from the subject; and for a full length figure about ten feet. When the subject is ten
feet from the camera, place the focusing indicator in the slot marked eight feet and use stop
No. 2, see tables on page 13. The background should form a contrast with the subject; a light
background usually gives a better effect than a dark one.
 |
To get a good light on the face, follow the arrangement shown in the diagram. A reflector helps to get detail in the shaded part of the face. A white towel or tablecloth held by an assistant or thrown over a screen or other high piece of furniture will make a suitable reflector; it should be at an angle and in the position indicated in the diagram. |
Making Portraits Outdoors
When making portraits outdoors, with the sun shining brightly, the subject should be in the
shadow of a building or a large tree, but with clear and unobstructed sky overhead. Place the
camera on a tripod or other steady support, use stop No. 3 or No. 4 and make a "Bulb" Exposure of about one or two seconds. By following this rule unpleasant and
distorting shadows on the face will be avoided.4www.butkus.org
Kodak Portrait Attachment
The Kodak Portrait Attachment makes head and shoulder portraits. It can also be used for
photographing flowers and similar subjects.
Place the Attachment over the lens opening and compose the picture in the finder.
The subject must be at one of the distances from the camera, given in the table below. Measure the
distance carefully from the lens to the face, and place the focusing indicator according to the table:
| DISTANCE BETWEEN SUBJECT AND LENS MUST BE | THE FOCUSING INDICATOR MUST BE MUST BE SET AT |
| 2 feet 9 inches 3 " 8 " 4 " 2 " |
8 feet "Fixed" 100 feet |
When making portraits, the most pleasing results are obtained with the subject four feet two inches
from the lens and the focus set at 100 feet. For flowers and similar subjects the shorter distances will be
more satisfactory.
The exposure when using the Attachment is the same as without it.
Use Kodak Portrait Attachment No. 8 with the Rainbow Hawk-Eye No. 2 Folding; and use No. 3
with the Rainbow Hawk Eye No. 2A Folding.
Kodak Diffusion Portrait Attachment
The Kodak Diffusion Portrait Attachment is a supplementary lens used in the same manner as the
regular Kodak Portrait Attachment. It produces a true, soft-focus effect.
Use Kodak Diffusion Portrait Attachment No. 8 with the Rainbow Hawk-Eye No. 2 Folding, and use
No. 3 with the Rainbow Hawk-Eye No. 2A Folding.
"AT HOME WITH THE KODAK" is a booklet containing many diagrams and illustrations showing
various lighting effects. It gives suggestions for making pictures, in and around the home.
"PICTURE TAKING AT NIGHT" is a booklet that describes in detail the methods of making flash-light exposures, campfire scenes, fireworks, lightning, moonlight effects, silhouettes and other novel
and unusual pictures.
These two booklets are free, and copies of them will be sent upon request to our Service Department.
TIME EXPOSURES--OUTDOORS
When the smaller stop openings (NO. 3 or No. 4) are used, the light passing through the lens is so
much reduced that very short time exposures outdoors may be made.
For short time exposures as described below, use the "Bulb" Exposure, see page 10.
With Light Clouds--From one to three seconds will be sufficient.
With Heavy Clouds--Four seconds to eight seconds will be required.
With Sunshine--The shutter can hardly be opened and closed quickly enough to avoid over-exposure.
CARE OF THE CAMERA
Caution: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight might cause the colored covering of the camera to
fade. Do not use alcoholic solvents for cleaning the camera.
Keep Dust Out of the Camera
Wipe the inside of the camera and bellows, occasionally, with a slightly damp cloth, especially if the camera has not been used for some time.4www.butkus.org
Clean Lenses
 |
The pictures at the top of page 33 illustrate the difference between the results with a dirty and clean lens. |
Lenses should be cleaned as follows:
Remove the front of the camera, see pages 3 and 4, then open the front as described on page 8.
Adjust the shutter for a Time Exposure and open it; the largest stop opening (No. 1) should be in
position. Wipe the front and back of the lens with a clean handkerchief. Never unscrew the lens.

IMPORTANT
Read this manual thoroughly before you make any pictures.
While loading and unloading the camera, be very careful to keep the protective paper wound tightly around the film to prevent light striking it.
Before making an exposure be sure that the shutter is adjusted properly, using the correct stop opening and speed. The camera must be focused and an unexposed section of
film in position.
The sun must be behind your back or over the shoulder. If the sun shines directly into the lens it will blur and fog the picture.
Hold the camera level.
Hold the camera steady when making instantaneous exposures or snapshots. The camera should be held firmly against the body and when pressing the push-pin or the
exposure lever, hold the breath for the instant. If the camera is moved during the exposure, the picture will be blurred.
Turn a new section of film into position immediately after making an exposure. This will prevent making two pictures on the same section of
film.
Never oil the shutter.
Keep the lens and inside of the camera clean.
Instructions for making time exposures, indoors and outdoors, are included in this manual.
