U.M. 2

The
Convenient Filters
You
can
place
the
built-in
orange
or
green
filters
before
the
lens simply by
pushing
the knurled
slide
-
above
the
viewfinder
window
-
towards
the lens
window
.
Make
sure
the
desired
filter
is
fully visible
in
the
lens
window
.
When
using
the
green
filter,
double
the
exposure
time
(i.
e. use
'ho
o
sec
.
instead
of
'/'00
sec.);
with
the
orange
filter,
triple
the
exposure.
For tips on using filters,
see
pages
16
and
17.
The
filters
are
automatically
retracted
when
the
camera
is
closed.
Therefore,
subsequent
exposures
are
made
without
a filter unless
the
filter is
again
pushed
into
position.
Taking the Picture
When
you
are
ready
to
'shoot'
,
frame
your
picture
in
the
viewfinder (see
page
4),
and
'squeeze'
the
shutter
release
button -
don
't
'punch'
it. For
critically
sharp
pic-
tures,
the
camera
must not
be
jarred
during
exposure
. The
shutter
release
of
the
MINOX works
so
smoothly
-
and
without
resistance
-
that
you will find it
easy
to
operate.
NOTE: The small circle
in
the
lens
window
indicates
that
the
shutter
is
wound,
ready
for
an
exposure.
If
the circle
is
not
showing,
simply
'push-and-pull"
the
camera
to
make it
ready
.
