Operating Instructions

TO OPEN THE CAMERA:
To open the camera, push the drop-bed release catch down (see ill.). Let the
drop-bed down 90° until the bed struts click into the first notch.
TO CLOSE THE CAMERA:
When you close the camera after use, please make sure that it is in the same
position as it stands now before you. All swings and tilts must have been
returned to zero and the lens standard must be pushed back all the way into
the camera body. The focusing tracks must be all the way back in infinity posi-
tion. Lenses of extra long constructional design (such as tele-photo lenses)
must be removed from the camera before closing. The cable release must be
separated from the shutter. This is easily done by operating the improved rapid
cable release socket. Without danger to the rangefinder linkage, the camera
may also be closed without coupling cam inserted (e.g. after groundglass focu-
sing resp. after using an extreme wide-angle lens).
The normal lens 150 mm mounted on recessed lensboard can remain in the
camera.
