A faat lens is helpful, too, when light conditions are adverse. A BOUT this time of year -- and especially with vacations in the offing--many of us feel the need of a finer camera, with greater picturetaking ability. A fine camera is about as easy to operate aa any other, once you are familiar with It. But there Is a difference in usefulness between the finer camera and the inexpensive model. Under adverse conditions, especially on dull days or with moving subjects, the inexpensive camera Is handicapped. It may fail to get the very picture you want most. But under tho same conditions, the fine camera performs capably--insuring good pictures within much wider limits. In choosing your Aner camera, consider these points carefully, so that you can select a model which exactly dts your picture-taking needs: If you want to be able to take pictures outdoors under all daylight conditions, bright or dull, early morning or late afternoon, choose a camera with a fast lens--an f.6.3, f.4.5 or faster. For night snapshots by ordinary electric light, without "flood" lamps, get a camera with f.2 lens. If "flood" lampe are used, a elower lens will do. If you want to take pictures of moving subjects -- or those likely to move--choose a camera which has a precision shutter with high speeds. A shutter speed ot 1/400 or 1/500 second is needed for sports and fast action shots; 1/200 for moderate action; and 1/100 for snaps of slow action or subjects sach as babies or pets which may move saddenly and unexpectedly. Some camera shutters now have built-in self-timer devices, which enable you to appear in pictures taken by yourself. Naturally, the self-timer is an advantage In a vacation or family oamera. Now for picture size. If you ex-, pect to have your pictures finished as contact prints for album use, don't choose a camera that takes too small a picture. If, however, yon plan to make enlargements, it's safe to pick a camera in the "miniature" group. And, if you want to take fullcolor transparency pictures, for large-else projection on a home screen, a miniature camera is Just what you need. It's wise to obtain your finer cegfr* era well in advance of your vacation; and practice using It. Since these fine cameras are precision instruments, see that yours receives proper care. If treated well, such a camera will give long and meritorious service--service that far outweighs its cost. Just ask the camera hobbyist who owns one!
