KODAK Self-Teaching Guide to Using an Adjustable 35 mm Camera

To get good pictures, the film in your camera needs to be exposed to the same quantity of light for every picture.

On a normal sunny day, you will use a fairly fast shutter speed and a medium lens opening so that the correct amount of light will reach the film and you will get a properly exposed picture.

1/250 sec, f/11

On a cloudy day, the light isn’t as bright and you need to either let light into the camera for a long time,

1/30sec, f/11

or let in a lot of light for a shorter time.

1/500 sec, f/2.8

Or possibly both—a lot of light for a long time.

1/60 sec, f/8
