Half steps can only be allowed for by intermediate aperture settings. Filters for black and white shots: Medium yellow filter: (exposure correction -1. 5). This makes the sky reproduce darker, clouds more brilliant and improves modelling in snow shadows. Orange filter: (exposure correction -1. 5 to -3, according to the film type used). This darkens blue skies to give heavy thunderstorm effects and lightens yellows and reds. Filters for colour shots: Filter UV and colour conversion filter R 1. 5: (these require no exposure correction). They subdue blue casts which can arise on cloudless days through the predominant blue skylight, especially in distant views. With some reversal colour films a warmer overall rendering may be desirable. In that case the R 1. 5 filter may be used for all shots.

Flash guns without central contact require the flash cable adapter 301060. Flash bulbs and electronic flash can be used. For colour shots use only blue bulbs or electronic flash. For flash shots, ignore the exposure meter. Set the exposure time, aperture and subject distance as recommended by the manufacturer of the flash unit Permissible shutter speeds: Flash bulbs -1/30 second or longer (shorter speeds will cause underexposures or even no exposures at all). Electronic flash - any speed up to 1/500 second. Shadow areas are reduced if the flash gun is situated above the lens and the camera held accordingly: keep the flash to the left of the camera for upright shots, and on top for horizontal shots. The camera is easy to operate in both these positions.
