20. Take the picture.

Look through the viewfinder and press the shutter release button

lightly to turn on the exposure meter. The shutter speed display indicates

the shutter speed selected by the camera. As long as neither +2000 nor

appears in the shutter speed display, the camera gives the correct

exposure. If either indication appears, adjust the aperture ring on the lens

until a desirable shutter speed is indicated. Should either indication appear

even after aill possible lens apertures have been tried, then the available

light is too bright or too dim for the meter's range. Use either artificial light

to increase the subject's brightness or a neutral density filter to reduce the
amount of light reaching the film.

Advance the film.

Stroke the film advance lever

to transport the film to the next frame

and get the camera ready for the
next shot.
