meter is "seeing" an area slightly higher than your
lens. Ordinarily, this is overcome very easily by
simply tilting your camera's meter down towards
your subject when taking your "reading" then

photographs taken indoors are sharper and
clearer when extra lighting is used. For copying 2-
dimensional subjects (such as maps, documents,
or photographs), an excellent (and quite
inexpensive) indoor lighting setup can be made
using two

Number "1" photoflood lamps, available

from your dealer. These bulbs can be used in
ordinary goose-neck lamps, or in "clamp-on"
sockets that easily attach to chairs, tables,
or whatever's handy. To arrange lights, just
position both lamps on opposite sides of the
subject, aimed at the center of the subject (
a 45

 angle is best). Make sure both lamps are

at about the same distance from the subject -
this prevents one side of the picture from
being lighter or darker than the other.

Excellent close-up and copy pictures can be

taken with color film, using the techniques
suggested above. If you're shooting indoors
and using photofloods, always use an 80B
filter (available from your dealer) when using
daylight-type color film.  This manual
