WIN

Raise the camera, holding it

your

eye

about

inch from

the viewfinder, and look through

the center of the eyepiece.

You

should

see

a square black

frame around the scene.

If you don't

see

all four corners of

the frame, move the camera

slightly until you

do.

The

split circle you

see

in the

viewfinder is a focusing aid,

which is explained

page 12.

FOCUSING

The key to good SX-70 pictures is careful focusing. Spend a few minutes

now learning what

means and how you do it. The care with which you

focus makes the difference between taking consistently beautiful pic-

tures and disappointing ones.

Focusing means adjusting the

lens of the camera to get the

sharpest, clearest image of your

subject in the viewfinder.

You

by rolling the focus wheel -

just

you

might

focus with a

pair of binoculars. If you

tip

the

camera up, you will

see

the lens

move in and out

you roll the

focus wheel back and forth.

HOW

YOU

FOCUS

WITH

THE

WHOLE

IMAGE

Look at your subject through the

viewfinder.

Pay

attention to

the split circle when you focus

with the whole image.

Roll the focus wheel all the way

in one direction, then all the way

in the other. Notice that the

image changes from fuzzy (top

picture) to sharp (bottom pic-

ture) and back to fuzzy.

Return the wheel to the point at

which the subject began to look

sharp and clear. Now roll

just

bit in each direction until you are

sure

that

tures of people,

the face.

Focusing is like tuninga radio

for

best reception. Turn slightly past

the perfect setting once

twice

sure you have found it.

HOW

THE

SPLIT

CIRCLE

HELPS

YOU

FOCUS

The split circle is most helpful in dim light and

for

flash pictures.

Place the circle over a vertical line in your subject. The front seam of a

shirt

dress, a necktie, a scarf, a lapel, a piece of jewelry, the line

between light and dark areas, are all good examples.

Choose a line which

the same distance from

you

as the point

you

want

sharpest in your picture, not behind it or in front of it.

When the line through the circle is broken

ESj

,your subject

out

of focus.

Roll the focus wheel until the line becomes continuous

ffi

Now your subject is in focus.

The split circle helps you to focus, not to frame or to view. It is placed low

in the viewfinder

will not interfere with viewing. That means that you

may have to reframe your picture when you

use

the split circle to focus.

After focusing, check to

sure you

see

in the viewfinder

just

what you

want in your finished picture. Reframe

necessary. If you placed the

circle somewhere

a face -the nose, the jawline or

eyeglass frame -

you will have to reframe to center the face in the picture.

Don't change your distance from the subject afterfocusing.

You

can

move the camera up and down orfrom side to side, but don't move it

closer to or farther from the subject.

When the line is broken

ESj,

your subject is out of focus.

When the line is continuous ffi,

your subject is in focus.

After focusing, you may have to

reframe to center your

subject.

UNLOADING

Push down

the yellow barto

open the film door, which should

open by itself. Never force the

door open.

Insert a

film

pack, pushing

all

the way in until a narrow strip at

the end of the pack (A) snaps

open.

Close the film door. The

film

cover comes out. Remove it and

save

the

door and use the yellow

tab to pull the pack out. 14

SHOOTING

When you have focused and

framed your subject, move your

finger down to the red shutter

button. Squeeze the button, hold

it in, and hold the camera

very steady

...

until the picture comes out

of the exit slot.

Remove the picture

its wide

border and watch

develop

by itself! That's all you have to do.

After the picture develops fully,

it is flexible and damage

resistant, but

should not

bent or squeezed while

15 developing.

DAYLIGHT

PICTURES

Your SX-70 viewfinder show? you

just what you will get in your fin-

ished picture. This is a feature

valued

professional photog-

raphers because

allows them to

compose a picture carefully

before pressing the shutter but-

ton. With the SX-70, you can

the same. Look at the picture in

the viewfinder. Think about what

parts of the scene you want to

include in your picture and what

parts you don't want.

Move in close when possible;

make your subject the main

point of interest.

Keep

the background simple.

You

can often eliminate distract-

ing elements from a picture

changing camera angle. Try

shooting down from a high angle,

using the ground

background.

Hold the camera steady untiIthe

picture comes out of the exit

slot. This

especially important

when the light is not bright.

dim light, the camera shutter

stays open longer than

bright

light. Any camera movement

while the shutter is open will

cause a blurred picture.

LIGHTING

Exposure

for

daylight pictures

is controlled by

electric

eye

that automatically sets the

lens opening·and shutter speed

according to the light condi-

tions

"sees" in the scene.

The kind of light and the direc-

tion

comes from have

important effect

the

quality

of your pictures.

Two lighting rules to remember

for

daylight pictures:

• Try to have the light fall

the

subject from behind you, or

from the side.

• Try to take pictures where the

lighting

the scene is even -

about

bright

the back-

ground

the subject.

Excellent lighting conditions for

outdoor pictures of people are

found

bright, hazy days, or

when a cloud covers the sun.

Another good light is bright open

shade -for example, next to a

building

a sunny day with

nothing overhead to block the

light from the sky.
