Ansco Memar Manual

self - timer
The \{emar has a self-timing nech-
anism which allows about a nine second
delay in exposure to permit the photog-
rapher time to get in the picture. With
the diaphragm opening and shutter
speed set, move the lever at the bottom
of the lens mount to the left as far as
it will go. Release the shutter in the
usual manner and after about a nine
second delay, the picture will be taken.
The self-timer will not work on 8.
since time exposures are not mechan-
ically pre-determined.

thing from 5 4 to 7 will be in ac-
ceptably sharp focus. However, with the
diaphragm closed down to f/16, every-
thing from 3 8 to 15 8 will be in focus
at the same distance setting. Therefore,
it should be remembered that if existing
light permits, the diaphragm should be
closed down for sharPer Pictures.

depth of field scale
A depth-of-field scale is conveniently
Iocated on the stationary lens mount at
the front of the camera. On each side of
the center index mark are identical
markings which indicate the various dia-phragm settings from f/3.5 through f/16.
With the eamera set at any particular
distance, the depth of field for any spe-
cific diaphragm opening can readily be
determined. The tlepth of field is thatdistance between the trilo lines reDre-

indoor exposures
The illumination tor pictures indoors
should be from either floodlamps or
flashlamps. Flootllamp illumination is a
convenient, economical source of light
tor indoor pictures. A good basic setup
calls for two number 2 photoflood lamps
in good quality reflectors (or two Reflec-
tor Flood #2 lamps), placed as shown in
the accompanying diagrams. The main
light source should be directed down-
uard at a 45 angle, and the flll-in lisht
should be placed close to the camera

at parties, of the children at play, of
special occasions.

chronization. No other synchronizer is
necessary. The Ansco Universal Flash
Unit (JN206) is recomtnended for aII

ness. Just fasten the camera to the
bracket and plug the tip of the cord into
