22. ADJUSTMENTS OF LENS STANDARD
(classic and 2000)
1. Rising of front is carried out by means of the lift lever (31) (see ill. 1, next
page), operated with the cubic shaped front grip. This grip handle can be
rotated after pulling out: If the white dot on the handle is on top, front will
rise when lever is actuated. To lower lens, rotate grip 180°, so that white
dot points downward; now there is a green dot visible on top. The action
of the lift lever is self-braking.
2. Lateral shift is effected by loosening the locking lever (see ill. 2, next
page) and by pushing the lens standard to the right or left. Maximum and
intermediate positions are locked by the same lever. This movement
effects lateral shift of the composition to the left or to the right. The zero
position is indicated by red triangle marks.
The vertical displacement of the lens standard should always be carried
out before any possible lateral shift is effected. If it is necessary to use
upward and sideways dislocation, the upward adjustment hase to be done
always before the sideways adjustment.
3. Swivel through the vertical axis: Turn the lever (9) in direction of the
arrow (see ill. 3, next page). Now, the lens standard can be swung 15° to
each side. When the lever is returned to zero position, the lens standard
locks in the normal position.
4. Tilt through the horizontal axis: First loosen the locking screw (1) (see ill.
4, next page), then press the knurled locking knob (3) (see ill. 5) against
the lens standard. Now the lens can be tilted 30° forward and backward
through its horizontal axis in or near the nodal point. Maximum and inter-
mediate adjustments are locked by tightening the locking screw (1).
5. Lowering of lens standard: Turn camera by 180° (upside down position);
then loosen the knurled screw on the inside of the camera housing and
detach the accessory shoe (38). Now another tripod socket is visible, so
that the camera can be mounted on a tripod head.
