What makes q picture

It would be easy to say that
almost any camera can make
pictures Of equal interest.
this Is simply not true be-
cause there are many worth
while picture opportunities
that the average camera
cannot reach.

how dull 1t would be. even

so we could see 1t.
Fortunately. there Is Q
camera that can see every
bit as well as we can, and
it can splinter action into
hundreths Of q second and

Fastest and Quickest
The camera we are talking
about is the pint-sized 35-
nm. misunderstanding
and quickest shooting Of
them all. It's speed Of eye
and action can combine to
give you Just the effect you
want for any picture. and the
quality Of its lens will pro-
duce images as sharp as a
tack. In most cases, not just
the object on which you have
focused. but everything in
the picture-just as things
appear to your eye.
Let's assume you are max
ing a shot of a group Of
people. They are pretty we'll
scattered. but you want them
all sharp just the same.
You're shooting at an aver
age lens opening Of f/8 per-
haps. and there being little
motion, at a shutter speed Of
1/30th second. You have
focused about midway Of
the scene at IS feet. With
a 35-mm. camera your range
of sharpness will be from 9
to so feet-and things some
what nearer or farther away
won't be too bad, either.
But. perhaps you want
even greater depth Of field?

CAMERA ANGLES
Some Cameras See
With Amazing Clarity

less light than the f/S OPEN
ing. which means. OF course,
that you must compensate
by using a slower shutter
speed so you get more Of it.
and you can do II with q
35-mm camera by setting the
shutter to 60 of at V sec
ond. Now your depth is
from 5 feet clear on out.
For Single Objects
But there's another side
to the coin. There are times
when you want but one OBJ
ject at one distance nice and
sharp, and everything else as
fuzzy as possible so as not
to compete. Such as a young
ster busily splashing about
in his wading pool. He's the
only thing you really care
about In the shetland here's
where your camera can, In
effect. kill two birds with one
stone.
Thinking back to that
same rule. you give 1t re-
verse English. After focus
ing on the youngster to get
him sharp as possible. you
open the lens way up. With
a 35-mm. camera this can
probably be to f/2, which will
narrow down the range OF
sharpness to but a foot or
two fore and aft of the boy
and knock everything else
out Of the picture so far
as detail is concerned. But
you have to compensate for
that wide aperture by shoot
ing at l/500th second, which
will stop all action in its
tracks.
Depth and Focusing
Some 35s have a depth
to-fleld scale right on their
lenses. For every lens OPEN
ing 1t tells you at a glance
your range Of sharpness both
ways from your focus point.
Or take focusing. With
most cameras you have to
do your own estimation Of
distance before setting the
lens. This is fairly simple
and reasonably accurate -
but there's a much easier
and more positive way built
into many 35-mm. cameras.
And this is a lens-coupled
range finder that is part Of
the viewflnder.
In it. at first, you will
probably see a double image
Of your subject. You super
impose the two by turning
a focusing knob-and when
you have made one image
Of them in the finder you
