           Prior to every exposure you should operafe the tube locking device which enables
          fhe lens barrel lo jump into its exposure position. The lens barrel is thereby automafically
          locked. A{ter having complefed lhe shot, depress the locking device (10), and slide
          the lens barrel back into the body.

         The built-in double-exposure prevenlion device prevents double-exposures, inasmuch
         as it permits fhe shuffer to be released only if the {ilm has been advanced.

               l{ the lens barrel is retracted, fhe body release cannot be operafed.

The deplh-of-{ield              -
The depth-of-field comprises the zone which is sharply defined by the lens, from the
foreground fo the background. This area or depth varies according to the aperture
chosen. That is to say, a large aperture   (f l2.g) gives less depth-of-field, and a small
aperture ({116) gives a qreafer depfh-o{-field. The depth-o{-{ield for every aperfure
setting can easily be read o{f the obliquely positioned depfh-of-field ring o{ the
"GLORIA". This repeats on the leff and on lhe righf o{ the black diamond the range
o{ lens aperfures.
Example: lf you have set the focussing ring
exactly af 10 {1., fhe depfhs-of-field {or the
apertures listed below will be the {ollowing:
wilh aperfure 16  irom 6    ft. to 30 ft.
 with aperlure I   frorn I     ft. lo 16 t+.
 wilh aperlure 2.9 irom 9L/z lI. lo 11 tt.
Wilh any other dislance or aperfure the depth-
of-{ield can be read off in the same manner.
