EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY, ROCHESTER, N. Y. Picture taking with the No. 3A Autographic Kodak (Rapid Rectilinear and f.7.7 Anastigmat Lens) Published by EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY ROCHESTER, N. Y. A-122 is thenumber of film for this camera ( No. 3A Autographic Kodak). The number appears on the carton,on the cartridge, and on the Autographic door which is located on the back of the Kodak.Autographic film can be used in old style Kodaks, old style film can be used in AutographicKodaks, but to get autographic results, Autographic film must be used in an Autographic Kodak. IMPORTANT When Autographing film, bear down with the stylus as heavily as the paper will stand without tearing. Before LoadingBEFORE taking any pictures with the No. 3A Autographic Kodak read the following instructionscarefully. Make yourself perfectly familiar with the instrument, taking especial care to learn howto operate the shutter. Work it for both time and instantaneous exposures several times beforethreading up the film.The first and most important thing for the amateur to bear in mind is that the light which serves toimpress the photographic image upon the sensitive film in a small fraction of a second when itcomes through the lens, can destroy the film as quickly as it makes the picture. Throughout all theoperations of loading and unloading, be extremely careful to keep the red paper wound tightlyaround the film to prevent the admission of light.EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY, ROCHESTER, N. Y.CONTENTSPART I.Loading the Camera.... 3Loading with Film.... 3 The operation should, however, be performed in a subdued light, not in the glare of the bright sunlight. It should also be borne in mind that after the seal is broken care must be taken to keep the red paper taut on the spool, otherwise it may A-122 slip and loosen sufficiently to fog the film. Between it and the film is inserted a strip of tissue.
The tissue serves two purposes: To supplement the red paper in light proofing the cartridge, andto permit the recording, by light, of the writing upon the film.1. To load the Kodak, take a position where the daylight is somewhat subdued, and grasping theinstrument with the left hand remove the back by pressing in simultaneously with the thumb andsecond finger of the right hand as indicated in Fig. I. 2. The Kodak having been opened, an empty spool having a slit in it will be seen in the winding end of the camera. This forms the reel on which tile film is wound after exposure. The full spool is to be placed in the recess at the opposite end of the Kodak. To accomplish this pull out spool pins as shown in Fig. II. 4.butkus.org The top is the winding side of the camera. Push spool pins into place so that spoolrevolves upon them.5. Remove the gummed slip that holds the endof the red paper, pass the paper over the twoaluminum rollers and thread into the slit inreel, as shown in Fig. IV. Be careful in sodoing that the paper draws straight and true.To secure a tight grip on the red paper, donot unfold the end, but thread it into the slitin reel with the paper creased. By doing thisthe red paper will not be liable to slip.6. Give the key one or two slight turns - justenough to bind the paper on the reel - and nomore. See Fig. V. Care should always be taken to handle the back of Kodak carefully, especially when it is detached from camera, as even a slight bend would make it fit badly, resulting very probably in a leakage of light and consequent loss of film.Throughout the foregoing operation, from the time the gummed slip is cut on the fresh roll of filmuntil the back is once more in place, keep the red paper wound tightly on the roll. If it is allowedto loosen, light will be admitted and the film fogged.8. The roll of film in the camera is covered with redpaper and this must be partly reeled off before apicture can be taken.
Turn the key slowly to the leftand watch the little red celluloid window at the backof the camera. When 15 to 18 turns have been given,a hand pointing toward the first number will appear,then turn slowly until the figure 1 is exactly in thecenter of the red window. Fig. VII.The film is now in position for taking the first picture. Press in slightly when turning the windingkey, so as to make sure that the web on the key stays within the slot in the top of spool. Loading with Plates1. If using glass plates the plate holders must be loaded in a dark-room--that is, a room fromwhich all white light has been excluded.Then insert ground glass panel for focusing, being sure that side marked front faces the lens.Snap the combination back into place, taking care that the springs at each side engage with thecatches and that the back is right side up, i. e., the plate holder should draw from the end towardsthe Kodak handle.11. Focus carefully with the largest stop before the lens, and when the lines show sharp and true,close the shutter, remove the ground glass, pressing down on catch at the bottom to remove it, andinsert one of the plate holders. 12. Pull out the dark slide. The plate is now in position for making the first picture, and the exposure should be made the same as for films. After making the exposure re-insert the dark slide in plate holder. Remove the plate holder from the camera by means of leather lug, pressing back slightly on same to start it. Merely lift up the scale used for film, and the plate scale will appear. PART IIThe general instructions in this No. 3A Autographic Kodak manual apply equally well to thecamera, whether fitted with Rapid Rectilinear or f. 7.7 Anastigmat Lens. Making the ExposuresBefore making an exposure with the No. 3A Autographic Kodak, either time or instantaneous, besure of four things:FIRST- That the shutter is adjusted properly. (For instantaneous, time or bulb exposure.
)SECOND - That the diaphragm lever is placed at the proper stop opening.THIRD - That the camera is focused.FOURTH - That an unexposed section of the film is turned into position. (Or a fresh plate isready for exposure.) This illustration shows the shutter on the Kodak when it is equipped with the Rapid Rectilinear Lens. Note - Exposures are made by pressing push-pin at end of cable Avoid making too sharp a bend in the cable release, as by doing so it will be liable to kink. Operating the ShutterPerfect familiarity with the shutter is essential to successful picture taking with any camera. Thefollowing directions should, therefore, be carefully read and the shutter operated several timesbefore threading the film up for use. Instantaneous ExposuresFIRST- Set the lever A at 25, 50 or 100 (representing the speeds of the shutter), according to thetime of instantaneous exposure desired. At the same time be sure to hold the Kodakrigid, as a slight jarring will cause a blurred negative. Time ExposuresFIRST - Set the lever A at the point T (time). This adjusts the shutter for time exposures.Second - Set the lever B at No. 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128. If the Kodak is equipped with the f. 7.7Anastigmat lens, set the lever at f. 7.7, 11, 16, 22, 32 or 45. See instructions for the use of thestops for Interior Exposures as given in table on page 26, also the table for Time Exposures in theOpen Air, page 28.Third - Press the push-pin. This opens the shutter. Again press the If the Kodak is equipped with the f. 7.7Anastigmat lens set the lever at f. 7.7, 11, 16, 22, 32 or 45. See instructions for the use of thestops for Interior Exposures as given in table on page 26; also the table for Time Exposures in theOpen Air, page 28.Third Press push-pin or release C to open the shutter and release it to close the shutter. This makesthe exposure. The shutter will remain open as long as the push-pin or release C is under pressure. ImportantDo not oil any part of the shutter.
In case of accident return shutter to your dealer or to us for repairs. As a general rule, makeexposures with the cable release instead of with the release C, as the cable release is less likely tojar the camera. The sun should be behind the back or over the shoulder of the operator. Focus on the Subject Everything beyond 100 feet is in the 100 feetfocus. Nothing nearer than 6 feet can be focused without using the Portrait Attachment. See page27. Automatic Locking Device The automatic locking device which is on the right side of camera bed will be found a great convenience in focusing. By means of this device the front locks automatically at 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 25, 50 or 100 feet focus.To set the focus, pull over and slide the lever shown in diagram, and set catch in the slot markedfor the distance desired. Then pull out front of camera lo limit of motion and the camera will be infocus for the distance at which you have set the catch. With PlatesWhen using plates with the combination back, the ground glass or the supplementary scale (seepage 8) can be used for focusing, as the Automatic Locking Device in this case cannot beemployed. 4.butkus.org Use Stop No. 8, or f. 11For all ordinary out-door work when the sun is bright, use stop No. 8 or f. 11 and use speed 25. Ifa smaller stop is used for ordinary snapshots, the light will be so much reduced that it will not Locate the Image Aim the camera at the object to be photographed and locate the image in the finder. For a horizontal picture hold the camera as shown in Fig. III, reversing the finder, as indicated. Always look into the finder from directly over it, not at an angle. (Of course, when using plates and the focusing glass is employed, the image will be located on that instead of in the finder.)For a vertical exposure the camera must be held asshown in Fig. IV. The finder gives the scope of viewand shows a facsimile of the picture as it will appear,but on a reduced scale.
Any object that does not show in the finder will notshow in the picture. As the picture taken with the No. 3A Autographic Kodak is oblong it will readily be seen that unless the finder was made in this manner it could not correctly show the exact view intended when held in either position.Remember that only the view indicated in the dotted lines will show in the picture. Fig. VI shows how to hold the camera when Grasp the bed of Kodak firmly with the left hand, steady it with the right, and with the thumb of the right hand lightly touch the exposure lever. Hold It LevelThe Kodak must be held level.If the operator attempts to photograph a tall building while standing near it, by pointing thecamera upward (thinking thereby to center it) the result will be similar to Fig. VII, page 20.When making this picture the camera was pointed too high. This building should have been takenfrom the building opposite and at a level corresponding with the middle of the subject. IMPORTANT When making instantaneous exposures, hold the instrument firmly against the body, as shown in illustrations, and when operating the cable release or The operator should hold the camera level, after withdrawing to a proper distance, as indicated by the image shown in the finder on the front of the camera. Note - The rising front may be used in helping to center high objects on the plate. See page 33. If the object is down low, like a small child or a dog, the Kodak should be held down level with the center of the object. When making the exposure: --hold the Kodak steady, --hold it level, --press push-pin on cable release. The Autographic FeatureThe Autographic Kodak has a spring door on the back, covering a narrow slot through which thewriting is done upon the red paper.
The slot is provided with an automatic safety spring borderwhich operates when the door is open to press the papers into contact with back of the film, thussecuring the sharp printing of the image of the writing and preventing the diffusion of lightaround the edges of the slot. This slot is located so that normally the writing comes between theexposures. It is obvious that the best way to make these records is autographically - on the film, at the time. While writing or afterwardsthe sun should not be allowed toshine upon the paper. The action ofthe stylus so affects the tissue as topermit the light to record the writingupon the film. After finishing the Three or four turnswill be sufficient to accomplish this. Fig. X. The warning hand appears before No. 1. Repeat theforegoing operations for each picture.Important. When you have used the last exposure on your roll of film and have made theautographic record of it in accordance with the foregoing directions, turn the winding key of theKodak until a letter (A) appears in the center of the window in the back of the Kodak. Raise thespring-door and write your name on the red paper, expose it to the sky the same as was done Your film is now ready to send to your finisher and whendeveloped will be readily identified by the autographic copy of - your name which you wrote onthe red paper. Time Exposures INTERIORS Set camera in such a position that the finder will embrace the view desired. The diagram shows the p rope r positions for the Kodak. It should not be pointed directly at a window as the glare of light will blur the picture. If all the windows cannot be avoided, pull down the shades of such as come within the range of the Kodak.To make a time exposure place the Kodak on some firm support, like a chair or table, and focusas before described. Be sure, however, to place the Kodak not more than two or three inches fromthe edge so as to avoid including part of the chair or table in the picture.Fig.
XI shows the Kodak in position for a vertical exposure. TheKodak is also provided with tripod sockets and may be used on atripod.4.butkus.orgWhen it is desired to make a horizontal time exposure without theuse of a tripod, pull down lever at side of focusing scale and placeKodak in position, as shown in Fig. XII (page 25).Adjust the shutter for a time exposure as described on page 11.All being in readiness, press the push-pin or once to open, close theshutter. Time the exposure by a watch. Follow the directions given heretofore for each successive exposure. When the last Interior Exposure is made, adjust the shutter for Instantaneous Exposures as before directed. Time Needed for Interior ExposuresThe following table gives the time of the exposure required under varying conditions of light forthe Kodak equipped with either the Rapid Rectilinear or Anastigmat Lens. The time given in thetable is with the stop No. 16 in the lens. If the stop No. 8 or f. 11 is used, give only one-half thetime, with No. 4 or f. 7.7 give one-fourth the time, and if the stop No. 128 or f. 45 is used, give 8times the time of the table. The smaller the stop the sharper the picture. The No. 16 gives the bestresults for interiors:White walls and more than one window:bright sun outside 4 seconds;hazy sun, 10 seconds;cloudy bright 20 seconds;cloudy dull, 40 seconds.White walls and only one window:bright sun outside, 6 seconds;hazy sun, 15 seconds;cloudy bright,30 seconds;cloudy duly 60 seconds;Medium colored walls and hangings anti more than one window: If earlier or later, the timerequired will be longer. To Make a PortraitPlace the subject in a chair partly facing the Kodak (which should be located slightly higher thanan ordinary table) and turn the face slightly toward the instrument, having the eyes centered on anobject at the same level with the lens. Center the image in the finder.
For a three quarter figure theKodak should be from 6 to 8 feet from the subject; and for a full figure from 8 to 10 feet. Thebackground should form a contrast with the subject. Kodak Portrait AttachmentThe Attachment is simply an extra lens slipped on over the regular lens and in no way affects itsoperation except to change the focus. It should be borne clearly in mind thatthis speed depends not upon the size of the opening, but upon the size of the opening inproportion to the focal length of the lens (distance from lens to plate when focused on infinity). The smaller thestop the sharper the picture.Absolute failure will be the result if you use the smallest stop for instantaneous exposures. Flash-Light PicturesBy the introduction of Eastman Flash Sheets, picture taking at night has been wonderfullysimplified. A package of flash sheets, a piece of cardboard, a pin and a match complete the list ofessential extras, although a Kodak Flash Sheet Holder is a great convenience. With flash sheets,no lamp is necessary, there is a minimum of smoke, and they are far safer than any other selfburning flash medium, besides giving a softer light that is less trying to the eyes.Many interiors can be taken with the flash sheets that are impracticable by daylight, either byreason of a lack of illumination or because there are windows in a direct line of view whichcannot be darkened sufficiently to prevent the blurring of the picture.Evening parties, groups around a dinner or card table or single portraits may be readily made bythe use of our flash sheets, thus enabling the amateur lo obtain souvenirs of many occasionswhich, but for the flashlight, would be quite beyond the range of the artPreparation for the Flash - The camera should be prepared for time exposures as directed onpage 11 of this manual (except that the No. 8 or f. 11 stop must be used) and placed on some levelsupport where it will take in the view desired.
Pin a flash sheet by one corner to a piece of cardboard which has previously been fixed in aperpendicular position. If the cardboard is white it will act as a reflector and increase the strengthof the flash.The flash sheet should always be placed two feet behind and two or three feet to one side of thecamera. If placed in front, or on a line with front of Kodak, the flash would strike the lens andblur the picture. It should be placed at one side as well as behind, so as to throw a shadow andgive a little relief in the lighting. The flash should be at the same height or a little higher than thecamera. The support upon which the flash is to be made should not project far enough in front ofit to cast a shadow in front of the Kodak. An extra piece of cardboard a foot square placed underthe flash sheet will prevent any sparks from the flash doing damage. However, by using theKodak Flash Sheet Holder, all these contingencies are taken care of, and we strongly advise itsuse. The Kodak Flash Sheet The sheet is placed in position in the center of the larger pan over the round opening which has a raised saw tooth edge extending half way around it. Press with the thumb on the sheet, so slight break is made and a portion of the sheet projects partially through the opening. Then to insure the sheet being more securely fastened, press around the notched edge, forcing this portion of flash sheet firmly into position on the pan. To set off the flash, merely insert a lighted match, from behind through the round opening.NOTE - If you are not using the Kodak Flash Sheet Holder, place the match in a split stick at leasttwo feet long. Taking the PictureHaving the Kodak and the flash sheet both in position, and all being in readiness, open the camerashutter, stand at arms length and touch a match from behind through the round opening in thecenter. 4.butkus.orgThere will be a bright flash which will impress the picture on the sensitive film.
Then close theshutter, make the autographic record by following the table as given on page 23, and turn a freshfilm into place with the key, ready for another picture. The Flash SheetThe size of the sheet required to light a room varies with the distance of the object farthest fromthe camera, and the color of the walls and hangings. TABLEFor ten feet distance and light walls and hangings use one No. I sheet.For ten feet distance and dark walls and hangings use one No. 2 sheet.For fifteen feet distance and light walls and hangings use one No. 2 sheet The proper distance fromthe camera to the subject can be ascertained by looking at the image in the finder. For a three-quarter figure this will be from 6 to 8 feet, and for a full figure from 8 to 10 feet.The flash should be on the side of the Kodak away from the face, that is, the subject should notface it. The flash should not be higher than the head of the subject.For using Portrait Attachment, see page 27.To Make a Group - Arrange the chairs in the form of an arc, facing the Kodak, so that each chairwill be exactly the same distance from the camera. Half the persons composing the group shouldbe seated and the rest should stand behind the chairs. If the group is large any number of chairsmay be used, but none of the subjects should be seated on the floor, as sometimes seen in largepictures, because the perspective will be too violent.Backgrounds - In making single portraits or groups, care should be taken to have a suitablebackground against which the figures will show in relief; a light background is better than a darkone, and often a single figure or two will show up well against a lace curtain. For larger groups amedium light wall will be suitable.The finder on the camera will aid the operator in composing the groups so as to get the besteffect.
