Operating Instructions

Various interchangeable lenses on sale for cameras of ZENIT type with rollerblind
shutter can be used with the ZENIT-E.
All these interchangeable lenses are remarkable for their high quality.
Interchangeable lenses are mounted on the camera in the same way as the main lenses
by means of M42x1 thread.
When using the interchangeable TAIR-3 lens, the left edge of the image field on the
negative may be cut off.
The ZENIT-E camera does not-allow to use the exposure meter system when
photographing with the MTO-500 and MTO-1000 interchangeable lenses, as the outer
mount of these lenses shades the photocell.
CLOSE-UP SHOOTINGS
With the help of a special copying stand the ZENIT-E camera allows to make
reproductions of drawings, manuscripts, photographs and others.
While copying, it is possible to use the extension rings which are mounted between
the camera body and the lens.
In this case it is possible to use one ring or a combination of some rings.
Reproduction scale depends on the length and number of used rings. This can be
visually seen by the reproductions of a postage stamp.
IMPORTANT TIPS
The camera should be handled carefully, should be kept clean and protected from
mechanical damages, moisture and sharp temperature fluctuations.
Keep the camera in a closed carrying case. In such cases the cap should be put on the
lens while the shutter and the self-timer are released.
Never remove the lens from the camera, unless you need it, to prevent dust and dirt
from getting on the surface of optical parts.
Clean the optical coated lens surfaces only from outside with a clean soft piece of
fabric or cotton. Fabric or cotton can be slightly moistened with rectified alcohol,
ether (petroleum or sulfuric) or, if these means are absent, with toilet eau-de-Cologne.
As the camera is a complex optical mechanical device, any repair of the camera and
its adjustment should be performed only by a highly qualified specialist.
