Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mouth and keep away from children and animals. If you get some paste on your skin, wipe it off immediately and wash with water to avoid an alkali burn. If eye or mouth contact occurs, quickly wash the area with plenty of water and see a doctor. Keep discarded materials away from children, animals, clothing and furniture.

Approximate Depth Of Field See below for the range within which the subject will remain in focus for different aperture settings. This has been calculated for a nominal camera to subject distance of 2m and a zoom setting which gives a typical portrait shot. Different subject distances and zoom settings will affect depth of field and so these values are intended as a guide only. Subject distance 1. 95 1. 80 1. 65 1. 40 Max. subject distance 2. 05 2. 25 2. 60 3. 85 Important: It is recommended that the camera is operated in the range of f/4 to f/8 to optimise the depth of field and maintain image sharpness. Adjust studio lighting to achieve an f-number within this range page 16 of 28 12. Display Screen Adjustment It is recommended that the brightness of the camera preview screen (1) matches the brightness of the printed photograph. Use dial (10) to adjust the brightness of the preview screen if necessary. 1 3 . [. . . ] Check the dark slide has been removed from the film holder before printing.
