PROTECTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY,

WORK OF THE KAU SING."

The following information regarding the protection of life and property in the harbour during typhoon weathor is pub- lished by the Harbour Master (Lieut.- Commander G. F. Hole, R.N.) in the current issue of the Government Gazette:

It would be most disappointing to make a number of exposures on a holiday and come home congratulating one's self on having made a fine holiday snap record only to discover that through some simple fault a number of anaps had been spoilt This might be due to not following some.

1. When there are immediate prospects simple rule, or a slight trouble in theof the weather conditions becoming so camera, which might easily have been bad as to place the native craft in the avoided.

Harbour in danger of being unable to niske shelter on their own account, a red asign will be hoisted at the Harbour Office indicating that the Rescue Tug Kau Sing will be available to assist to tow such craft to shelter.

M

Here are a few troubles likely to occur in the camera :—- ~Roll film fogged along the edges, dus to letting it unroll when loading the camera. Films should always be londed in the shade.

A circular dark patch in the centre of a film is due to the shutter being pressed when the camera is closed if it is a fold ing model. This will also sometimes hap- pen when the leaves of the shutter are thin and the camera has been lying in strong sunlight. Keep your camera in the carrying case.

Blurred image due to movement is not always the fault of the sitter. The camera may have been jerked during exposure. Hold the breath momentarily and grip the camera ármly.

FUZZY PICTURES.

Arranging the subject too close to a box-form camera will cause the picture to be fuzzy. The distance should not be less than ten feet. When it is a focuss. ing model, make sure that the distances are correct. The fault may, however, be in the camera. To prove this, set the scale to infinity, open the shutter and take the back off. Place; a piece of frosted glass with the matt side inwards, so that it is in the position of the fix when exposed. Hold the camera up and view a distant object, which should be sharply outlined. If the focus is not correct, in- form your dealer, who will quickly adjust

it..
