* The Bronica SQ-B does not incorporate an exposure meter. Furthermore, it will not couple
with a finder incorporating an exposure meter.
* It is possible to attach and view through a finder that incorporates an exposure meter but
the meter will not be activated.
* It is possible to attach and take photographs with a film back that incorporates an ISO
Setting Dial but the ISO setting will not be effective.
* The shutter speed and aperture must be determined with an independent exposure meter
or obtained with another camera with built-in metering system.
The Film Back SQ/B 120 included in the kit takes 12 pictures on one
roll of film. The exposure counter begins at "S" (Start), and as the film
is advanced to the first frame it displays "1". The counter advances
with each exposure and proceeds through numerical sequence to an
orange number "12", after which the counter displays an extended
stripe also in orange, indicating the roll is finished.
When you use the SQ-I 220 Film Back, which takes 24 pictures, read
above description replacing "12" with "24".
After completing one roll of film (12 exposures), continue winding
until the leader paper is completely wound up, or approximately 8 full
turns of the advance crank. Then, open the back cover and take out
the film holder.
Take out the take-up spool from the film holder, while holding the
exposed film so that it will not unwind. Seal the exposed film.
The number on the shutter speed scale indicates the set shutter
speed. For example "8S" is 8 sec. "2S" is 2 sec, "2" is ½ sec, and "500" is
1/500 sec. Intermediate speed settings are not available. Shutter
speed setting range on the Bronica SQ-B is from 8 sec, "8S", up to
1/500 sec, "500", and does not include "B" (bulb) and "T" (time).
Installation of the PS lenses other than the PS/B 80mm allows for "T"
settings. (See 13. Time (T) Exposure)
