THE
CUBE ROTATION
LEVER
After each of the
four flashes
is
fired,
the flashcube must
be rotated to the
next flash
position.
This
is
done manu-
ally with the cube
rotation lever
(K).
With the left
thumb
push
the
lever
forward as
far as
it
will
go.
You must
remember
to
push
the
lever, or
you
will
not
get
a flash.
lt is a
good
idea
to
always do
this
just
after
you press
the
No. 3 button
on the camera
to
reset
the
shutter
(see
page
23).
When the
lever is
pushed
after the
fourth flash, it
will not return auto-
matically to its
normal
position,
but will
stay
in
the forward
position.
This serves
as
a remihder that
the cube
must
be
changed for a new
one.
The lever will return to
its
normal
posi-
tion when the flashcube is
pulled
out.

WHY YOU
MUST
FOCUS
ACCURATELY
WHEN
USING
FLASH
Focusing
the camera
automatically
adjusts
the
opening
of the
louvers in
the
flash unit.
This assures
that,
between
a distance
of 3Yz
ft. and about
10 ft. a
subject which is
sharply
focused
will
also
receive the
right amount
of
f ight
from
the flashcube
to
give
a
correctly
exposed
picture.
For
example,
if
a subject is
8 ft. from
the
camera, the
light
output
from the
flash unit must
be
greater
than it
would
need to be
for a
subject
3V2 tt. away, if
both
are to
receive
the
same exposure.
Thus, at
8 ft.
the louvers must
be wider
open
than
at a3Yztt.
setting.
