Quick Guide

Setting the shutter speeds
Rotate speed setting disk (11) in either direction, before after the shutter has been cocked, to bring the desired exposure speed to click in
next to the red triangular mark.
The rapid wind lever
Swing the rapid wind lever around to its stop and move back to its original position. The shutter is thus cocked, the film is advanced by
one frame, the diaphragm set to its widest aperture, the exposure counter switched to the next number and, the mirror having been set, the
path is open for the light rays to reach the image field lens.
The delayed action
Swing winding lever (4) of the delayed-action mechanism through 90 degrees and actuate release knob (3). The mechanism runs for
approximately 10 seconds and may be employed with all shutter speeds.
The delayed-action lever remains in end the position only if the shutter has been cocked beforehand.
Locking the release nut
Lock the release mechanism by turning the lower milled ring (14) on shutter release (3) anticlockwise as far as it will go. (The red dot must
be at the top.) Inadvertent tripping of the shutter is thus impossible. The shutter release mechanism is freed by turning the ring back again.
Flash synchronization
Synchronization for electronic flash and bulbs is effected by means of an X-contact. The flash socket is on the under side of the camera
front.
When using electronic flash, set exposure speed on the flash arrow; for short burning bulbs set a shutter speed of 1/15 of a second: for
bulbs of a longer flash duration 1/8 of a second.
Finding the diaphragm numeral
Divide the guide number of the flash by the flash-to-subject distance figure.
Removing the film
Swing the rapid wind lever around once as far as it will go and continue winding up the paper backing by small rocking movements until
actuating the lever becomes noticeably easier. Only then open the camera back. Fasten the gumstrip and remove the spool with the exposed
film. Films can be exchanged in daylight.
Exchanging lenses
Turn milled ring (15) of the bayonet fitting anti-clockwise until it stops. The lens is now unlocked and can be removed from the camera.
The red mark on the scale of the lens to be inserted must be at the top, and the screw, or pin, on the inner edge of the lens mount has to
engage in the recess of the lens seat in the camera (see arrow in illustration). To fix the lens tighten milled ring (15) by clockwise
movement.
