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.

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. Its unusual latitude
permits bright, sparkling prints
over a wide range of lighting con-
ditions. 12 exposures per roll.
You save money and have film
on hand if you buy Verichrome
Pan in the Kodak Duo -Pak (2
rolls in one package).
Black and White
Kodak Tri-X Film —An extremely
fast film of wide exposure lati-
tude. Recommended for poor
light conditions and flash. Do
not use in bright sunlight. 12 ex-
posures per roll.
Kodacolor Film —Full -color
snapshots are easy to make with
your camera. Just load it with
the new Kodacolor Film. You
no longer have to buy one type
for daylight use and one type
for use with flash. Expose this
new Kodacolor Film by sunlight
or clear flash —it gives beautiful
color pictures with either.
Take the exposed roll of Ko- Color
dacolor Film to your photo
dealer. He will arrange to have
negatives and prints made for
you. Enlargements in various
sizes can also be ordered through
your photo dealer. 12 exposures
per roll.
'l �0 1. 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.

camera is within two or three

that the support does not show

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.
