RELEASING

THE

SHUTTER

By pressing

the

shutter

release

button

(3)

down

with

the

index finger of

the

right

hand,

the

shutter

will

be

operated

and

be

done

with

and

It

has

been

found

by

experience

that

the

greatest

security

in

holding

the

camera

steady

during

the

exposure

is given when

the

uppermost

joint of the index finger is

pressed

downward.

If

the winding knob

has

not

been

turned

until

a definite

stop

is

felt, it follows

that

the

shutter

ist

not

completely

wound,

and

the film not

advanced

for a full

frame;

in

this position it will be impossible to release

the

CON

T A X

focal-plane

shutter

Under

no

circumstances

is it possible

to make overlaps

and

double·exposures.

There

are

no

external

,

rotating

shutter

parts

on

the

CON

T A x which

might,

if

inadvertently

touched, inter-

fere with

the

normal

operation

of

the

camera.
