INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. My daytime shots are really washed out and blurry!
Ah, you are most likely shooting with the "B" shutter setting by accident. Be sure to use "N" for daylight.
2. My nighttime shots are really blurry and insane!
For sharp long exposures, you need to keep the camera as steady as possible. Use a tripod if
you have one. Otherwise, prop it up on something flat or hold your breath and press it against
your face before you shoot.
3. My daytime images are really dark
You probably set the aperture to pinhole rather than sunny. Or, if they're just kind of dark, then
get faster film. You'll need full sunlight to shoot ISO 100 or slower on the "N" setting.
4. My images are overlapping each other
Check your film formatting. You most likely have the camera set to 16 but have no mask placed
inside.
5. My images are totally black
Oops, that sounds a lot like you left the lens cap on!
6. A lot of Diana F+ images are dark in the corners (an effect called "vignetting"). Why
aren't mine?
You're probably using the 16-shot small square format. Try using the 12-shot format – you'll get
19
