How to troubleshoot

BLACK PICTURES

Complaint:Black

pictures

Does flash fire? Refer to "Flash Does

Not Fire", Pgs. 12

and 13

Are lens caps

removed? Remove lens caps

Return camera for

repair

Yes

Is flash set

for 80?

Is film dark

slide removed? Remove dark slide

Set flash for 80

(not 3000)

Yes

EXPLANATION:

1If the flash doesn’t fire in situations where there is very low light,

the picture may be black (underexposed with no discernible

image).

2If the film’s dark slide is not removed prior to taking the picture,

light cannot expose the negative.

3If lens caps are not removed, light can not travel through the lens

to expose the negative.

4If the flash is set for 3000 (black & white) instead of 80 (color),

light output is reduced and the picture may be dark..

5If 1 - 4 above did not cause the problem, the camera is defective

and should be returned for repair. The shutter may be faulty (not

opening).

How to troubleshoot

DARK PICTURES

Complaint: Dark

Pictures

Is flash set for

100/80? Reset the camera

Is flash facing

subject? Rotate strobe head to

face the subject

Yes

Is f-stop

setting below

f16?

Set f-stop between

f11 and f16

Yes

Is flash firing?

Yes

No Refer to

"Flash Does

Not Fire"

Return camera for

repair

Yes

EXPLANATION:

1If the flash is set for 3000 (B & W film) instead of 80 (color film),

the flash will not provide enough light to properly expose the

picture.

2If the flash reflector is tilted upward, not enough light will reach

the subject.

3If the aperture is too small, not enough light will reach the

negative during exposure. To increase aperture size, lower the

f-stop number.

4If the flash does not fire, the ambient room lighting will be

insufficient for proper exposure.

5If 1 - 4 above did not cause the problem, the camera is probably

defective and should be returned for repair.

How to troubleshoot

LIGHT PICTURES

Complaint: light

pictures

Decrease f-stop

(higher number) Is picture still

to light?

Try another film pack Is picture still

too light?

Check portrait head

size

Is head

size too large

and blurry?

Return camera for

repair

Yes

Film was fogged

Aperture opening was

too large

Camera was too close

to subject

Yes

EXPLANATION:

1If the picture is too light (overexposed), first try reducing the

aperture size by going to a higher f-stop number. This will allow

less light to reach the negative during exposure resulting in a

darker picture.

2If the picture is still too light, the film may be fogged. Try another

film pack.

3If the problem persists, check to make sure the camera is not too

close to the subject. When the camera is too close, the subject’s

head size will be enlarged and slightly blurry, or out of focus.

4If the problem is not caused by 1 - 4 above, the camera is

probably defective and should be returned for repair. The shutter

may be faulty.

How to troubleshoot

YELLOWISH/REDDISH SPOTS IN PICTURE

Complaint:

yellowish/reddish

spots in picture

Are spots

repetitive?

rollers Does problem

continue?

Replace the camera's

rollers

Film or operator

problem

Yes

EXPLANATION:

1The operator may have handled the film during development.

Never squeeze or bend the film while it is developing. Allow it to

develop undisturbed on a flat surface.

2If the spots are repetitive through all pictures in the pack, the

rollers are dirty. To clean the rollers, first open the film holder -

take care not to dislodge the film pack. Then remove the roller

assembly and clean both rollers with a water-dampened soft, lint-

free cloth. Rotate both rollers during cleaning.

3If the spots are repetitive and cleaning doesn’t solve the problem,

the rollers probably have a burr, or scratch, and should be

replaced.
