INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
bigger images and more vignetting & distortion in the corners.
7. My Diana F+ images are small and surrounded by a big black frame
Again, try shooting on the 12-shot larger format.
8. When using the Flash, my images are really dark and grainy
With ISO 400 film, the Flash is most effective within 1-1.5 meters (3–5 ft) of your subject. Chanc-
es are, you're standing too far away. Ensure that your Aperture is set to Cloudy. Otherwise,
your battery might be weak, and the flash is not firing at full power. Try putting in a fresh one.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
A little care will go a long way towards keeping your Diana F+ in top shape:
1.
Keep the lens cap on the lens when the camera is not in use.
2.
Do not clean the lens with any harsh chemicals or solvents. Proper lens cleaning solution
and a soft lens cloth is your best bet.
3.
If the film is really hard to advance then do not force it. You could break the advance
mechanism. If you just started advancing the film, then calmly reload it. If you're well into the
roll, then unload it in a totally dark room or light-sealed bag.
4.
Be careful when transporting the Diana F+. It's pretty tough, but is still made of lightweight
plastic. If you place it in a bag with heavy things, then it could be broken. Just keep an eye
