INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
With ISO 400 film, you'll need about 2 seconds in bright sunlight, 30 seconds in the shade,
6–15 minutes in a lit indoor scene, and about 1–2 hours at night. Given these long exposure
times, anything moving in front of the lens will be blurred. This can be very cool for daytime
shots of people walking, cars speeding by, dogs barking, etc. You'll notice that shots taken
indoors or at night have stronger vignetting (darkening & blurring at the edges) than images
shot in the sunlight. It's all part of the unpredictable fun of pinhole photography! Your Diana F+

Set the Aperture to "P" and the Shutter to "B". Grab a hold of the Forward Lens Mount [12],

which is the part of the lens barrel that's in front of the Shutter Speed Switch
and Shutter
Release [7]. Slowly and gently twist it counter-clockwise and remove the lens. You're now ready
to shoot a traditional wide-angle pinhole shot. You can replace the lens by matching up the

Forward Lens Mount
with the four plastic posts behind it, and then rotating it clockwise.
The word "Diana" on the front of the lens will be at the 10 o'clock position when you match
them up, and then rotate to its correct 12 o'clock position when the lens is reattached.
