Loading the Camera [Return to Manual index] [Previous page] [Next page] Loading the Camera Turn down the lever 9. Unlock the back 11 with lock 21 and pull it off. Inserting the battery Unscrew the slotted screw cap 25 with a coin. Insert the fresh battery into the camera, so that the plus sign + remains visible. Replace the screw cap 25 and screw tight with a coin. Inserting the film Swing open the pressure plate 26. Push in the cartridge and pull out the film leader until both perforated edges

Shooting [Return to Manual index] [Previous page] [Next page] Shooting Set the controls by pressing the index fingers against the lower edge of the setting dials. This also releases the aperture dial 5 by pressing on the ledge 6 underneath. All settings are read off against the triangular index mark at the top. Pre-select the exposure time Turn the shutter speed dial 1 to engage the selected exposure time opposite the index mark. For instantaneous exposures see hint 6. See also time exposures Li

Unfold the crank 24 and turn in direction of arrow until the resistance of pulling the film disappears. Fold in the crank again and turn down the lever 9. Move the lock 21 outwards and remove the camera back 11. Take out the cartridge and preferably have processed as soon as possible. Never chan

Practical Hints [Return to Manual index] [Previous page] [Next page] 1. Shooting with the lens hood The lens mount will take the screw-in folding lens hood to protect the lens against direct rays from the sun, as well as against splashes of water and drops of rain. It ensures optimum brilliance and sharpness for your shots. Always use it whenever possible see hint 4 also.

Self-timer exposures Separate self-timers can be used, provided that the travel of the release plunger on the self-timer can be precisely matched to the travel of the release button 18. Self-timers with too long a release plunger travel or too hard a release movement may damage the camera. 3. Exposures with cable release Use the camera on a tripod or firm support, screw the cable release into the release knob 18. See also "F

Exposures with filters The thread of the lens 4 or the lens hood mount takes a screw-in filter: ● 30.5 x 0.5 for Sonnar lensed models (35S / 35SE) ● 24.0 x 0.5 for Tessar lensed models (Original 35 / 35T) Filters mostly require an exposure correction. Its value is engraved on the filter mount. This indicates the number of stops by which the aperture has to be opened (towards lower f/numbers) or the exposure time increase

Flash guns without central contact require the flash cable adapter 301060. Flash bulbs and electronic flash can be used. For colour shots use only blue bulbs or electronic flash. For flash shots, ignore the exposure meter. Set the exposure time, aperture and subject distance as recommended by the manufacturer of the flash unit Permissible shutter

Practical Hints [Return to Manual index] [Previous page] [Next page] 6. Selecting the best shutter speed The figures 2 to 500 on the shutter speed dial 1 indicate fractions of a second. The speed dial engages at each setting; never set intermediate values. Image sharpness depends, among other things, on the use of a sufficiently fast shutter speed. Therefore : With hand-held exposures: Use fast speeds to avoid camera shake. The longest usable time is 1/30 second; 1/60 and 1/125 second are safer

Pre-selecting apertures According to the type of subject you can line up the matching pointer 17 with the meter needle by turning either the aperture dial 5 or the shutter speed dial 1. With moving subjects pre-select the exposure time to make sure of a suitably fast shutter speed Then match up the pointer by turning the aperture dial. If on the other hand depth of field is more important (see hint 8), determine the required

Depth of field The image of a subject is sufficiently sharp over a range of distances in front of and behind the focused distance. This depth of field zone is shown on the depth of field scale 3: Look up the marks of the aperture in use to each side of the focusing index The figures on the distance ring 22 opposite these marks then indicate the sharply covered subject range Depth of field is particularly desirable for candi

Practical Hints [Return to Manual index] [Previous page] [Next page] 9. Correct exposure As a basic rule, always point the camera while taking exposure readings exactly in the direction of the subject. Inadvertent tilting of the camera - for example, into the sky while taking landscape views - can falsify the reading and in this case lead to under-exposure. The exposure meter evaluates the average brightness of the measured subject field. With.subjects of average contrast it automatically indica

Film transport You can operate the winding lever14 either in one full swing or in several short swings until it locks. 11.Changing the battery The cadmium sulphide exposure meter 19 is powered by a Mallory battery PX 625. According to the manufacturer, the durability of the battery is 12 to 24 months, provided that the unused camera is kept in the case i. e. in the dark. The voltage drop occurs suddenly. Symptom: the meter

Protect the camera against moisture, dust, wind-blown sand at the seaside and continuous exposure to sunlight. This applies especially when the camera is opened while changing films. Keep the film pressure plate 26 clean, and occasionally polish it with a leather cloth. For cleaning the inside of th
