Picture taking with the Brownie Hawkeye Camera, Flash Model Your Brownie Hawkeye Cam- era is the world's most popular snapshot camera. Popular be- cause, with all its picture -taking ability, modern styling, and modern features, it retains the basic box camera simplicity of. Load'. Aim Sho L A 7y But, although your Brownie easy -to -read instructions in this Hawkeye camera is simple to book so you can LOAD right, use, remember that there is a AIM sharp, and SHOOT well. right and wrong way to do even The satisfaction of good pic- simple things. So, follow the tures will be your reward. Z Load Load in subdued light only — never in strong direct light Load your camera with Kodak No. 620 Roll Palm. Each of the black -and -white and color films, described on pages 10 and 11, gives 12 exposures per roll. Loading instructions. follow and are also printed on the wall Of the roll holder inside the camera. 1. Open your camera by mov- ing the LATCH to "O" (open) and pulling the front from the back. 2. The empty spool should be in the lower roll holder (wiND- ING KNOB end); fit the pin on the SPRING into the hole in the spool end. Press the empty spool against the spring and into the holder. Turn the winding knob and adjust the spool until the slot in the end fits the winding key. The spool must turn with the winding knob. 3. Hold the film so that the paper will draw from the top of the roll. Place the film in the other roll holder, fitting the pin on the spring into the hole in the film spool. Press the spool against the spring and into the holder, fitting the other pin into the hole in the other end. 4. Break the film seal and draw the end of the paper, colored side up, over the back of the roll holder. The black side of the paper must be toward the lens. Thread the end of the paper through the longer slot in the empty spool as far as it will go. Turn the winding knob two or three turns to bind the paper on the spool. Be sure the paper is started straight. 5. Replace the back section of the camera and move the latch to "L" (lock). Turn the winding knob until an arrow appears in the red window on the back of the camera; then continue to wind slowly until the "1's" are centered in the window. You are now ready to aim and shoot. The illustration will serve as a guide as to how to hold the cam- era steady. The camera must be held steady during exposureor the picture will be blurred. Look straight down into the brilliant viewfinder —what you see there is what you will see in the finished picture; so give some thought at this point to composition and background. For daylight pictures, the sun • should be behind you or over your shoulder. A steady aim means a sharp aim with your camera. Sharp aim means sharp pictures. Aim El Shoot Outdoors in Sunlight 1. Check the light —When Koda- color Film is used outdoors, the subject must be in bright sun- light; with Verichrome Pan Film, keep the subject in bright or hazy sunlight. 2. The shutter control must be in the "down" position. 3. Look in the red window on the back of the camera to make certain that you have advanced the film. 4. Check the camera -to -subject distance and keep at least 5 feet from your subject. Objects closer than 5 feet will not be in sharp focus unless a Kodak Close -Up Attachment is used. See page 18 for a description of this at- tachment. 5. Compose the picture —The viewfinder tells you what your picture will include. 6. Press the exposure release with a gentle squeezing action. Hold the camera steady; camera movement during exposure will blur the picture. 7. After each picture has been taken, advance the film to the next exposure number by turn- ing the winding knob. Form the habit of advancing the film im- mediately after each picture. 10 Film SIZE-KODAK NO. 620 Kodak Verichrome Pan Film — Here is a new, faster film with the old, familiar Verichrome name. It is your film for general- purpose use —indoors with flash, or outdoors on bright or cloudy days. Balanced panchromatic sensitivity assures good render- ing of colors in tones of black and white.

The Kodalite Flasholder uses the larger bayonet -base lamps such as No. 5 or 25. This unit gives more light —and is espe- cially recommended for Koda- color pictures. Flash shots Flash pictures are as easy to make as those in bright sun. Just add a Kodalite Flasholder —either of two models can be used with your Brownie Hawk- 12 eye Camera, Flash Model. 2. The Kodalite Midget Flasholder is a compact unit which uses small, low-priced M-2 lamps or No. 5 and No. 25 lamps. Attach either Flasholder to the camera by placing the posts on the ftasholder into the holes in the side panel of the camera; tighten the knurled knob. CAUTION: Do not attach or re- move the Flasholder with the lamp inserted. KODA ,ITE FLASHOLDER How to install batteries 1. Open the back by loosening the screw. 2.

Check the lamp -to -subject distance according to the table on the flasholder. This is impor- tant for proper exposure. 4. Place the flashguard over the reflector because there is always the possibility that the lamps may shatter when flashed. CAUTION: Lamps are too hot to handle immediately after faring. Always use the LAMP RELEASE to eject used lamps; pulling lamps out by force may damage the socket. Do not flash lamps in an explosive atmosphere. 15 Long exposures When the light is not bright enough for a snapshot, or flash lamps are not available, still Itl subjects can be photographed by making a long exposure. Place the camera on a firm, solid support. Be sure that the camera is within two or three inches of the edge to be sure that the support does not show 16 in the picture. t About 5 minutes is sufficient time for this exposure. w ♦ Use a sheet or tablecloth to re- flect light to the shadow side. About 1 second gives full expo- sure with Verichrome Pan Film for a picture like this. Luring long exposures, never hold the camera in the hands, or the picture will be blurred. First, pull up the SHUTTER CONTROL as illustrated. Then make the exposure by slowly pressing down the exposure re- lease as far as it will go. The shutter remains open while the exposure release is held down and will close when it is released. 17 Close-ups r' For head -and -shoulder pictures Kodak of people or close-up pictures of flowers and other subjects, use a Kodak Close -Up Attachment Attachment No. 13. Snap the attachment in place over the front of the cam- era lens and hold the camera 3 to 4% feet from the subject. Tilt the camera up slightly when taking the picture. This is necessary to center the subject 18 in the picture at this close range. 20 Removing the film After the last exposure has been made, turn the winding knob until the end of the protective paper passes the window and is drawn up to the film spool. Turn the latch on the top of the camera to "O." Be sure you're not in strong, direct light when you remove the front of the camera. Press the end of the spool opposite the winding knob outward; then lift out the roll of film. Do not twist the film tightly on the spool or it may become scratched. Fold under the end of the paper and fasten it with the sticker. Remove the empty spool by pressing outward at the spring end; then place it in the wind- ing knob side of the camera. Turn the winding knob until the key engages the slot in the end of the spool. The camera is now ready to be reloaded. After loading the camera, replace the front section and then turn the latch on the top of the camera to "L" (lock). 21 22 Suggestions Make them interesting —Your pictures should tell a story at a glance. To help achieve natural, unposed effects, give your sub- jects something to do. Trick shots —To shoot over a crowd, hold the camera upside down over your head and look up into the viewfinder. Shoot an unsuspecting sub- ject by facing 90° to the subject, the viewfinder on a horizontal plane with your eye, and the lens toward the subject. Moving subjects —Movement can be photographed if the subject is not too close and its travel is toward the camera or away. Check the background —Look be- yond the subject and exclude uninteresting and distracting objects. Be sure the background serves as a setting only. Low angle shots are pleasing. Remember the sky makes a good background. Protect the camera lens —Keep it free of scratches, dust, and fin- gerprints. See Dirty Lens at the top of page 25. Let's look at some fumbles We will have a good start if we take a quick look at some of the most common camera mistakes —and how to avoid them. Keep them in mind and you will eliminate these basic errors in your own work. 1 2 24 1. Camera movement The whole picture is blurred. It happens when you "punch" the shutter release. Always stand steady, hold your breath, and release the shutter with a squeezing ac- tion. 2. Double exposure Two pic- tures accidentally taken on one film. It won't happen if you wind the film immediately after taking each picture. 3 4 a. 3. Dirty lens Your camera can't see through a dirty lefts. Keep it clean; it pays. Use Kodak Lens Cleaning Paper and Kodak Lens Cleaner. Never use silicon - treated tissues. 4. Subject partly cut off This is merely another case of careless view finding. Keep your eye on the finder image and keep the subject accurately framed until after the shutter clicks. 5 5. Subject out of focus This kind of fuzzy-wuzzy comes up when you take pictures closer than 5 feet. Close-ups can be made with a Kodak Close -Up Attachment No. 13. 6. Lens obscured You'll get a picture like this if a finger is in front of the lens. Just learn to handle your camera so that your fingers or case strap don't get out in front. 6 25 Picture -taking aids The Kodak Field Case for the Brownie Hawk - eye Camera protects your camera from dust and dirt. Its fall -away cover readies the cam- era for instant picture taking. The case is made of sturdy simu- lated leather. Your dealer will be glad to show you this case. The Kodak Cloud Filter No. 13 will add new sparkle to your black -and -white snapshots by darkening blue skies and em- phasizing clouds. Slip the cloud filter over the lens mount and you're all set to shoot. Don't use with color films. 4-56-SH-AAXX For full -color prints and enlargements, use Kodaeolor Film.
