www.orphancameras.com Congratulationson your choiceof the TOPCON RE-3OOor RE-2OO(as the casemay be) camerawhich should bring you complete enjoyment of photography becauseof its great simplicity and ease of operations. The instructionsfollowing cover both RE-3OOand RE-200 which are almost identicaltwins. The principal differencesare the possibility of attaching an exclusiveAuto Winder-ll to the RE-3OOand thus providing it with motorized film winding and shutter charging operations, and an additional split-image focusing spot. Although operationsare very simple, may we suggest that you read instructionsthrough once before you even touch the camera,as your pleasurein using the camerawill be greater if you are thoroughly familiar with it.

Finding the Correct Exposure Setting The exposure measuring and setting system incorporated in the camera utilizes three light emitting diodes(LED) for giving positive and highly visible indicationsand thus speeding up operations. 1. The power for the exposure measuringsystem is switched ON when the shutter release button is lightly depressed,which, at the same time, lights up an LED along the right border of the finder's screen area (showing that power is being supplied and that the system is ready to work). 2. Three LED's are lined up vertically along the right border, with illumination of the central green LED indicating a correct exposuresetting. On the other hand, illuminationof either red LED's, at the top or bottom, will indicate over- and under-exposureadjustment and that the exposuresetting is not correct. 3. Exposuresetting will be greatly speeded up if a suitableshutter speed is, first, chosen for the subject and, then set to the camera.lt will then be possible to adjust the aperturesetting for the shutter speed by lightly depressingthe shutter releasebutton and, at the same time, rotating the aperturering until the green LED lights up. NOTE Use the following table as a general guide for shutter speeds to be used, although it must be re- membered that the choice of shutter speed is not only dependent on lighting conditions but also on the need for stopping the action of the subject, when there is any movement.

Focusing
1. The subjectis focused by rotatingthe distancefocusing ring in either
direction until the two halves of the image coincide in the central
split-imagerangefinderand is also seen distinctlyand sharply in the
surroundingfine focus ring. The split-imagerangefinderis specially
good for speedy focusing action. (The RE-2OO has a central
microprism focusing spot in which the subject is seen distinctly
and sharply, when properlyf ocused.)

Holding the Camera and Releasingthe Shutter
1. Hold the camera(orcamera with Auto Winder-ll) firmly
but comfortably with both hands.
Press the camera against the face and press both
elbows (when possible)againstthe body to steady the
camera. Wheneverfeasible, spread both legs slightly
to steady the body, too. K a m e r ar u h i g z u h a l t e n . V e r s u c h e nS i e

Film Unloading
1. When the last exposure has been taken, dS indicated on the exposure
counter, or when the winding lever cannot be stroked easily(or auto-
winding cannot be completed, with drive motor continuing to drive
and red lamp staying on), stop stroking the winding lever(stop the
Auto Winder-ll) or the film may be torn and pulled out of its cartridge.
