The automatic exposure time controller in the Automatic 66 was developed by Agfa
Camera-Werk according to patent DBP 923525. A number of individual well-known
principles have been combined into an ingenious construction in such a way that we
have come another step closer to the goal of simplifying photography.
ABOUT THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL:
In the instructions below for operating the automatic mechanism, we first describe the
individual steps for inserting and removing the film, as well as operating the shutter if it is
to be used without the automatic regulation. This is primarily the case for flash
photography. Other special cases in which the automatic mechanism is not to be used is
described on page 20. We also give you a quick start guide that you can use if you are
already familiar with the handling of the camera. In any case, please fold out the main
illustration on the first cover page, as we refer to this illustration in the text by its
individual numbers.
