Very fun little upbeat film about do¡¯s and don¡¯ts when shooting film on your brand new camera. I actually liked this a lot, because it had a very down-home feel, and it presented some nice problems that the amateur cameraman could come across (eg low lens exposure, out of focus etc). I¡¯m assuming the cameraman got this film when he bought the camera, right?

This is an instructional video from 1948. Charlie Wright buys a camera, so his neighbor, Joe TitleHocker has to get one too. Only Joe sucks at photography, and Charlie's know-it-allness carry us through several photography tips, most of which still apply today.

Lovely retro camera in a gem of a movie.
I seem to recall the name of the producer Paul Burnford from my mid 1950's schooldays when we were shown movies from the "Fact and Faith' series.
Do any of these still exist?
