THE FUJICA COMPACT 35 EYE-LEVEL CONTR.OL CENTER

Everything you need to get sharply
focused pictures, and automatically
correct exposures is seen right in the
viewfinder of the Fujica Compact
35. The following pages show you
how this Eye Level Control Center
works for you and eliminates the
details previously needed to take
better pictures.
 How Fuilco's Eye Level Control Center
Helps You Focus Fosf snd Shorp
When you look through the viewfinder; you'll see a
series of symbols along the bottom of the scene. What
they mean to you is shown in the pictures on the opposite
page. You simply turn the focusing ring and set the
focus bar at the kind of picture you're taking ......scenic,
group shot, close-up or portrait. With the camera held
at eye level shooting position, you can shift your focus
fast from close-up to distant shot.
If the situation is one in which you have plenty of
time and you wish to be exceptionally exact in your
focusing procedure, then you can use the actual foolage
scale on the focusing ring. You simply set the distance
between the camera and your subject right on the focus-
ing ring.
For extremely close portraits or table top photography,
with the subject at the closest distance of 2 feet, 8
inches away, keep the image in the viewfinder below
the 2 parallax correcting lines seen in viewfinder.
If you wish to control your depth-of-field, see Page 19
for details.

 How To Use Fuilco's Eye Level Gontrol €enler
For Fully Automqlic, Correct Exposures
The Fujica computer electric
eye system AUTOMATICALLY
SELECTS AND SETS both the
shutter speed and the lens opening
combination for any tight situation'
...... or signals when the light is
too dim for correct exposure.
How this takes place can be seen
right in the viewfinder.
First, set the camera for auto-
matic. Look through the view-
finder and press the exposure
button about halfway down " " "
until resistance is felt. You'll see
the electric eye bar on the left
swing down and stop at or between
a combination of speed settings
and lens openings. Pressing the
12
button all the way down wilt take
the picture at that combination.
With the camera set for auto-
matic operation, if the electric
eye bar does not move out of the
red area (on or up the figure 2.8
when ASA 200 film is used) when
the exposure button is Pressed
halfway down, it is Your signal
that there isn't enough light to
take a good picture and You should
switch to flash.
(See Page 17)
The combination of automati-
cally selected speeds and lens
openings can also be Your guide
for any settings you wish to make
manually. (See Pages 14 and 15)

 How To Use Fuiico's EYe Level Gonirol Genter
For Mcrnucrl Settings Of SPeed qnd Lens Openings

Even when you operate the camera
manually, the automatic electric eye
helps you get correct exposures. You
can switch from automatic to manual
operation and set any combination
of 4 different speeds and 7 dif.f.er-
ent lens openings.
The Fujica computer electric eye
system can also be used as if it were
a built-in precision light rneter when
you wish to make your own settings
manually. For example : you want
to take pictures of action but due
to the light situation, the camera at
automatic operation selects a speed
of I/6Oth of a second at a lens oPen-
ings of f 15.6. Since 1/6}th of a second
is not fast enough to stop the action,
you can switch to manual control,
select a higher speed and the related
larger lens opening. The equivalent
combinations you can set, are shown
on the chart on the facing Page.
The same chart can be used as Your
guide if you wish to change lens
openings manually after you see
what combination is selected when
the camera is set at automatic.

 How the Fuiico ComPoct 35
Gets Better Pictures Even in
Difficult Lighting Situotions

When shooting a portrait tYpe of

picture with a dark background, You
can get correct exposure of both skin
tones and facial details by using a
convenient feature built into your
Fujica. Most automatic electric eye
cameras tend to overexpose skin
tones or underexpose the background
in similar situations. With the Fujica,
however, there is a simple procedure
to overcome this. Set the camera ing the button pressed halfway down,
at automatic and focus from the step back up to your shooting posi-
position in which you plan to shoot. tion. Aim and press the button all

FLASH The Shutter of your Fujica

Your FJICA COMPACT 35 Compact 35 is synchronized for
electronic flash, and also Class
is fully synchronlzed M flashbulbs. The flashgun plugs
for electronlc into the stahdard Flash Socket
shown at front of camera in
flosh or flqshbulbs picture on this page and atta-
ches to the camera by means
of the Accessory Shoe on top or
the Tripod Socket on bottom.
Leave the Shutter Speed Slide
at A? position. This automati-
cally sets the shutter at | /30
sec. Set the Focusing Ring for
the distance between the camera
and the subject you're shooting.
Then, set the lens opening in
accordance with the instructions
supplied by the manufacturer
of the flashbulbs or electronic
flash unit you're using.

Time Exposures
You can rnake exposures of any
time duration with your Fujica Com-
pact 35. Simply turn the lens opening
ring off automatic "A" to the lens
opening you plan to use. Then move
the shutter speed seletor to the posi-
tion marked "8". Advance the film
lever to wind the shutter. The
shutter will remain open as long as
you keep the exposure button depres-
sed and will close as soon as the
exposure button is released. For time
exposed pictures, it is always best
to mount the camera on a tripod or
some other firm support.
How Filters Help You Toke
Betfer Pictures
To further improve th.e quality of
your color pictures, two filters ate
commonly used: Type A Conversion
Filter which enables you to use
tungsten-balanced indoor film out-
doors and Ultraviolet (UV) or sky-
light filters that cut through haze
and reduce the over-blue effect of
shooting in open shade on a bright
day.
In shooting with filters, since they
absorb part of the light, you have
to compensate to get correct ex-
posure. Follow the instructions that
come with any filter you may pur-
chase.
Your Fujica Compact 35 accepts
screw-in filters. 40.5 rnrn diameter.
 To furrher improve the quoliry of your pictures, your Fuiico
www.butkus.us
Compoci 35 enqbles you to control your rrdepih-of-field"
"Depth-of-field" is the area behind and in front
of the subject you've actually focused on, which
will also be in sharp focus. It varies with the
lens opening and with the distance between the
subject and the camera. If the lens opening is
large 6/2.8), the depth-of-field is quite shallow.
+ If the lens opening is small (f/2D, the depth-of-
field is quite deep. Also the further away the
subject is from the camera, the greater is the
depth-of-field. You can use this characteristic
of the Fujica lens to plan just the kind of picture
you want to get. The chart on this page tells
you the depth-of-field.for each lens opening and
for each setting on the focusing ring.
