The exposure speeds may be set either before or after the shutter has been cocked. The speed shut setting dial (13) is
rotatable in either direction. The desired exposure speeds figure must come to stand against the red triangle mark. The
speed settings click in as a safeguard against unintentional displacement.
The rapid wind lever
The rapid wind lever serves not only to cock the shutter but simultaneously to transport the film. By this same
performance the diaphragm is set to its widest aperture, the exposure counter switched to the next number and the
mirror swung away to allow the light rays to reach the image field lens.
Delayed action mechanism - shutter release
The delayed action mechanism is actuated by swinging the winding lever (5) through about 90 degrees and operating
the shutter release (4). The shutter must be cocked beforehand. The self-timer runs for approximately 10 seconds. It
may be employed with all shutter speeds. The winding lever returns to its normal position after the shutter has been
released. Locking the shutter release achieved by turning the lower milled ring (15) stop release knob (4) is
anti-clockwise as far is it will go (red dot must be at the top). Inadvertent tripping of the shutter is thus made
impossible. The shutter mechanism is unlocked by turning the milled ring back again.
