The Viewfinder

Your camera's viewfinder is the reflex type and shows you exactly how your picture or slide will appear.
1.
Bell and Howell Auto 35, exposure indicator
On the right-hand side of the viewfinder is a scale to check for proper exposure. With the Lens Opening Control Ring on EE, and the camera aimed at the subject, the Exposure Indicator should be in the clear area for a good picture. If it is in the Overexposure Area, turn to a faster shutter speed. If it is in the Underexposure Area, turn to a slower shutter speed.
2.
Bell and Howell Auto 35, lens opening indicator
Note that the Underexposure Area for the normal f/1.8 lens is different than for the f/3.5 accessory lenses. If it is not possible to move the exposure indicator into the clear area by either slowing down or increasing the shutter speed setting, then the light is too bright or too dim to obtain a proper exposure with the chosen type of film.
