Focusing, fully automatic and manual control procedures are pictured and described on the following pages.FUJICA “FINE LINE” OP TIgL Look through the view- finder-rangefinder window at the particular subject or scene you wish to shoot. Note the square in the center, If the lens is not in focus you will see a twin or double image of the part of your subject or scene inside the golden square. To get the lens into sharp focus, just rotate the rear focusing wheel until the two images merge into one. You are now ready to shoot It’s easier to focus if you choose a vertical line within your subject to focus on. The difference between IN FOCUS and OUT OF FOCUS, all there is to it. When you rotate the focusing wheel, the distance scale on the top of the camera will also rotate. This scale will be especially 10 become more apparent. That's helpful to you should you wish to determine the depth of field of your picture, as explained on page 20, and also when setting the camera for flash exposures, as explained on page 17. You can focus your Fujica on subjects as close as 3 feet (0.9m) away from the camera. Everything that you see in the area outlined in the Visual Control Center, as indicated by the golden frame on page 9, will be in the finished pictureSXPTEM SIMPLIFIES FOCUSING CORRECTING “PARALLAX ERROR” When your subject is closer than 5 feet (1.6m), upper left hand corner, instead of the outer there is a slight difference hetween what you line, as the corner of your picture.

SET THE APERTURE RING AT “AUTO”. Turn the lens opening ring until the red dot aligns with AUTO. This sets the electric eye for fully automatic operation, SET SHUTTER SPEED by rotating the shutter speed selector ring until the desired speed (1/4sec., 1/8sec., and so forth, up to 12 1/500 sec.) aligns with the indicator line on the lens barrel. For stationary or slow-moving subjects, use a shutter speed from 1/60 to 1/125sec. For action shots and fast-moving subjects, choose 1/250 or 1/500sec, Settings below 1/60 sec. are usually for very dimly lit subjects. Your Fujica Compact Deluxe has a highly sensitive, accurate CdS exposure-seiting sys- tem. It takes into account the shutter speed you've selected and the sensitivity of the film you're using in order to set correct lens open- ings.PRESS THE EXPOSURE BUTTON HALFWAY DOWN and observe the bright dot at the right side of the Visual Control Center, If the dot remains white, that’s your “ okay- to-shoot” signal.

You can make any combination of settings you wish. With 10 different shutter speeds and 8 different lens openings to choose from, your range of picture taking is practically unlimited Since the external light meter on the top of the camera is always in operation even when you shift the lens opening ring off AUTO, you'll find it a very helpful guide in checking your manual settings, For example: Set the shutter spced selec- tor ring at the speed you wish, taking into account the subject you are shooting. Fast shutter speed for bright light or rapid action; slower shutter speed for dim light and static or slow-moving subjects. With the camera pointed at your subject, look down into the external light meter. The needle will point to the proper lens opening for the particular 14 ) light situation, Set the lens opening selector ring at the number indicated...and you're all set to shoot. FOR ABNORMAL LIGHTING CONDI- TIONS, with the sun behind or to one side of your subject, hold the camera within a few inches of the most important area of your subject. Press the exposure button halfway down. The external light meter will set itself and hold its reading until the button is released. Set the lens opening number indicated by the meter in the exposure ring; back up to your shooting position; focus and shoot. The red area at the top and bottom of the external light meter scale are over- and 1 y exposure warnings.is needle points to the red area next to The external electric eye light meter is , the light is too dim.

There are times, however, when you'll want to concentrate on only part of the subject, as when shooting facial portraits against a dark background, or when the light is coming from directly behind or to one side of the subject. To use the “Light Lock” feature, bring the camera to within a few inches of the important area of the subject. Look through the viewfinder, and depress the shutter release slowly until the There are two ways to proceed from there: 1 Return to your shooting position, Rotate the lens opening ring off AUTO until the red dot aligns with the lens opening number the electric eye bar indicated. Focus and shoot. 2 Hold the shutter release partway down, Return to your shooting position. Focus the camera with your thumb and shoot. 16 electric eye bar moves and stops at a lens opening number. Note that number but don’t depress the exposure button all the way, or you'll make an accidental exposure. Either way, you'll get correct exposure for the area of your subject you're con- centrating on, without the light on the rest of the subject affecting exposure. When using the Close-Up Light Lock, be careful not to let the camera's shadow fall on the area you're aiming at. or your subject will be over-exposed.fogs FLASH PICTURES 1 MOUNT THE FLASH UNIT AND ATTACH THE CONNECTING CABLE. Your Fujica is equipped with an accessory shoe and a standard socket for mounting“ feet” and for bracket-mounts. Its flash terminal is a standard PC type which accepts all modern flash cables. 2SET"M” OR“X", Move the flash selector lever to“ M" for flashbulbs or to “X"” for electronic flash. The Fujica’s shutter is synchronized tor both electronic and flash bulbs at all shutter speeds. TO SET THE CORRECT LENS OPENING, you have to know. 1 The tungsten speed rating (ASA) of the film you're using. This is given on the instruction sheet packed with the film. 2 The guide number of the electronic flash unit or the fiashbulb you're using. This is given in the manufacturer's specifications, and is printed on every package of flashbulbs. 3 The distance between the camera and the subject your're shooting. To determine the distance, focus the camera on your subject and examine the distance scale on top of the camera, (Note:— th) D figures on the distance scale are feet; the black’ figures are meters.) Divide the distance in feet into the guide number for the ASA tungsten speed of the film you're using, and the result is the correct lens opening. EXAMPLE Guide number for your film is 40, Distance scale reads 8 feet. 8 into 40 is 5. Set lens opening at 5.6 (nearest number) FOR ALL FLASH UNITS, you'll get better results if you hold the flash unit off the camera, at arm’s length or as far s the cable will permit, up and to one side. This will give you better rendition of detail, and will tend to reduce reflec: tions from eyeglasses and similar shiny subjects. 17THE SELF-TIMER.. AN IMPORTANT AID TO BETTER PICTURES PUSH THE SELF-TIMER LEVER FULLY DOWN. When the exposure buttot depressed, the timer will travel upward, delaying exposure for about 10 seconds. ‘The most common use of this feature is to permit the photo grapher to get into the picture himself! With the camera mounted on a tripod or other firm support, aimed and focused, In this case, as the automatic exposure device is unworkable, first note the lens opening number indicated by the light meter on the top of camera, then set the lens opening manually to that number. You need only press the exposure release and walk into the picture...for example, a family group. Ten seconds later, the exposure will be made. Another use is with long, hand-held exposures. Delaying the exposure after the exposure button is pressed gives the photo- grapher time and opportunity to draw a breath and steady himself before the actual picture is taken. TO MAKE A TIME EXPOSURE, that is, longer than 1 second, set the lens opening ring at “B”. Mount the camera on a tripod or other support. The shutter will remain open as long as the exposure button is depressed, and will close when the button is released. It is strongly recommended that a cable release be used for time exposures, to avoid jarring or vibration during long exposures, which can affect the quality of the picture. 18 > eters ee : ree wetFI FOR YOUR FUJICA COMPACT DELUXE Filters are discs of colored gelatin or glass that screw into the front of the camera lens. Your Fujica accepts filters of 526 diameter. ‘The most common filter for use with color film is the ‘Type 85, or Type A filter. This is an amber-colored filter that alters daylight for use with tungsten film. It also changes the ASA rating of the film, because, like all filters, at absorbs part of the light. ‘The instruction sheet packed with all tungsten color films gives two ASA ratings: one for use under tungsten light, without a filter, and a second for use in daylight, with a type A filter. Be sure to set the correct ASA rating in the Fujica’s ASA film speed selector when you're using tungsten film outdoors. And, of course, be sure to change the setting if you go indoors and shoot under tungsten light after removing the filter. Other types of filters commonly used in color photo: graphy are skylight, haze and UV (ultra-violet! filters. These absorb the excessive bluishness of distant scenes, and reduce the blue cast of certain color films when they're used in open shade. They absorb so little light that no change in ASA setting is needed when you use them. They may be left in place to protect the lens as well _ improve the quality of color pictures. 5 FILTER FACTORS The amount of light a filter absorbs is expressed as a num- ber called a “ filter factor”. A factor of 2 means that half the light is passed on. A factor of 3 indicates passage of 1/3 the light. The higher the factor number, the more light is absorbed by the filter. The easiest way to compen- sate for filter factors is to divide the factor number into the ASA rating of the film you're using,”and set the re- sulting figure into the ASA film speed selector. EXAMPLE : Film Speed is ASA 160 Filter factor is 3 3 into 160 is approximately 53 Set ASA selector at 50 (nearest number) 19DEPTH OF FIELD When your camera is sharply focused on a subject, there's an area in front of and behind that subject where everything else is in sharp focus, as well. This area is called “depth-of- field”. Depth-of-field varies with lens opening (the larger the opening the shallower the depth-of- field; the smaller the opening, the deeper the depth-of-field) and with camera distance (the further away the camera, the deeper the depth-of-field), If you want to know the depth-of-field in any given picture before you take it, focus on your subject and note the camera distance in the distance scale. Then set lens opening automatically or manually and note the lens opening number. Where these two figures coincide on the table is the depth-of-field for that distance, at that lens opening. 20 HOW TO CONTROL DEPTH-OF-FIELD IN YOUR PICTURES If you want to set your camera for any given depth-of-field for a creative effect: 1 Determine camera distance by focusing on the subject and checking the distance scale. 2 Find the desired depth-of-field in the table, under that distance, and the corres- ponding lens opening. Set that lens opening selector ring. 3 Hold the camera at waist level, pointed at your subject and rotate the shutter speed selector ring until the needle in the external electric eye light meter points to the lens opening you've selected. The camera is now set for correct exposure at your desired depth-of-fleld. )o.9 1.2 ] LS 2 25 3 5 ] 8 10 o ¥ 3 5 B 10 2 Ey 20 | 0 60 cn o.88~0.92 | 1.16~1.24] 1.41.57 1.09~2.13|2.33~2.70] 2763.3 | 44-59 | @5-m | 71-4 | Hem 18 2.92~3.08 |4.78~5.24|7.46~8.62/9.1T~11, | 10.8~13.5| 13.2~17.4 | 16.9~24.4 | 23.6~41 39. ~131 | 11~o 0.885~0.8 |1.12~1.29] 1.38~1.64|1.79~2.26|2.19-2.9 |2.56~2.6 | 39-7 | 58-0 | 6a~a | ~~ 3.5 2. 85~3.17 |4.59~5.48|7.01~9. 31 | §.51~12.1)9.01~15.2| 11.9~20.4)148~31 19.6~63 B~x ST~o 0,850.96] 1.11~1.31|1.36~ 1.68] 1.75~2.23) 213-30 [2483.8 | 37-77 | s.i-w | 59-4 | Me 4 2, 81~3.19 | 4.53~5.55 | 6.80~9.53 | 6.93~12.5/9.67~15.8) Md~21.5/14.3~33 | 18,.7~75 N~x We €.85~0.88| 1,98~1,35] 1.82~1.74|1,09~2.45) 2,093.2 [2.3541 | 34-93 | 46-m | 52-128 | nl-« 5.6 2. 71~3.28 | 4.39~5.83| 6.53~10.3/7.81~13.9/8.97~18.1) 10.6~25.9/12.8~46 | 16.3~x | 2.3~m0 Boo c.e0—1.02] 1.1.43] 1.25~ 1.81] 1.56~2.72) 188-37 [2155.0 | 30-15, 39-2 | aa—= | 76 8 2,68~3.41 | 4. 16~6.26 | 6.05~11.8|7.19~16.7)8.1~23.1 |9.36~18 | 10.8~101 13.6~% | IT 6~~ ~« ul 2,57 ~3.99 |3.92~6.91 | 5.55~14.3 |6.4~22.3/7.22~36 | 8.21~87 | 9. 51 ~oo B§~e | .1~c 16 242~3.95 |3.96~8.35 | 4.87~22.4/5.55~50 | 6.1 ~oe 6.8~0 |7.62~m $e W.3~0 | 12.5~ gg, (tt eMlew-eulea-salticra [tava |iace [hae aime | 2a» | 27-0 oY 2.5 ~46.49 | 3.22~11.2/4.25~@ |. ~0 4. 98~o | 5.66~% | 6.3~00 6.96~0 | 7.87 ~0 9.1~% alFOR HORIZONTAL PICTURES Vibration...even a litle vibration... can destroy the quality of your pictures. The first rule in good camera handling is hold the camera steady. For shutter speeds below 1/60 second, always mount the camera on a tripod or other firm support. It is advisable to use a cable release, also. Your Fujica’s exposure button accepts all standard cable releases. When hand-holding your camera, curl your fingers around the right side firmly, with your forefinger on the exposure button. Your left hand should support the camera by its lower left corner. Press the camera firmly against your check, In this position, your thumb is free to operate the focusing wheel on the rear panel Normally, you'll find it easier to focus with the camera held horizontally, even if you're 22 HOLD YOUR CAMERA a | CORRECTLY FOR wae BETTER PICTURES FOR VERTICAL PICTURES going to shoot a vertical picture. It’s a good idea to form the habit of taking a breath and holding it just before you shoot to avoid body motion. Then, squeeze or press the exposure release button, don’t push it. For accurate composing of your picture, keep your eye as close as possible to the viewfinder eye piece. When shooting vertical pictures, the most convenient camera position is with the view- finder window toward the bottom of the camera. That way, it’s easy to slip your thumb off the focusing wheel and under the film advance lever for rapid shooting with- out removing the camera from your eye, In horizontal shooting, the bottom-mounted lever is always in the most convenient location for rapid, easy film-advance. )pay TO CARE FOR YOUR FUJICA COMPACT DELUXE Dust is the enemy. When not in use always keep your camera in its case and keep the lens capped. Should you wish to clean the interior, use an air-blower or soft brush. Never use anything metallic. Clean the lens infrequently, with a blower, brush or rolled lens tissue, slightly moistened with lens cleaning fluid. Never scrub the lens; you may scratch its fine chemical coating. Remove fingerprints from the lens surface immediately with a lens tissue moistened with lens cleaning fluid. Body acids can etch the fingerprint into the coating of the lens. ——— CHANGING THE ELECTRIC EYE BATTERY —— The silver oxide battery that powers the CdS electric eye system of your Fujica should 4 jast a year or more in normal use. Check it from time to time by setting the ASA film speed selector ring at 100, Point the camera at a bright light and press.the exposure button half- way \ Repeat this test at all shutter speeds. It the white dotin the Visual Control Center turns red at all settings, the battery needs replacement. Remove the battery chamber cover with a coin, replace with « Mallory MS 76 or Eveready S 76, being careful to keep the mark up towards the cover. Screw cover back on. 23 FUJI PHOTO FILM CO., LTD.
