may be addi-

or 75, to

the camera
controls correctly.
A film
pack
contains
all the materials
to make eight

For each
pic-

piece
of
negative
film,
a
sheet
of
print paper,
and a thin
foil
con-
tainer
(the
pod)
filled with the
jelly-like
chemicals
needed
to
develop
the
pic-
tu re.
After snapping
the
picture, you
start

spreading
the chemicals

"sandwich".

the
recommended

you

PROTECTION
OF FILM
AND
CAMERA
Extreme
heat and high
humidity can
damage
your
film
(and
also
your
cam-
era),
especially
after the
film
pack
has
been
placed
in
the
camera. Don't leave
film, or
a loaded camera,
in direct sun
or
in
a car
during hot
weather.
The
best
storage
place
in a
closet
is near the
bottom,
where the air
is
cooler. Don't
unwrap
film until
you
are ready to
use it.
An
important label:
On some color
film
packs you
may see
a
label
(A)
advising
you
to turn
the Lighten/Darken
control
to a special setting
for all
pictures
made with
that
pack.
Please
do so, or
your pictures
may be too
dark.
