    1. Placethe film advancelever (3) in the ready
        positionand turn the shutterspeed dial so that the
        indicatorwhite line alignswith the desiredshutter
      speed value.Then if the dial is set at the
       intermediatepositionsof the index,shutterspeed
          will be incorrect.Be sure that the dial clicksat the
        positionwhere the white line alignswith the
       desiredvalue.
       With settingat "B" (bulb)position,exposure
       monitoringis impossible.
     2. With brightersubjects,fast movingsubjectsor with
       the highervaluefilm speedof the film used,it is
      recommendedto use highershutterspeeds.
    3. In photographyusing,telephotolenses,use the

Focusing
     1. Focusingis done by observingthroughthe
         circledarea in the centerof the viewfinder
       screen.Withinthe circleis the split imagespot
       prismand aroundthe circlethere is the
       microprismcollar.
     2. In focusingthroughthe split image spot, when
        t_  the imagedividedhorizontallyis broughtinto       alignmentby focusing,focus in correct.When
        the upper-andlower-halfimagesdo not align, it                   17
          is out-of-focus.
     3. To focus throughthe microprismcollaroutside
        centerspot, a brokenshimmeringimage is seen
      when it is out-of-focusand correctfocus is at
        the settingin which the image becomesclear
      and sharp.
     4. Focusingthroughthe entire matte surfaceof the
        viewfinderis also possible.In this case, at the               'ffi,        settingwhere the sharpestimage is obtained,
        precisefocusingis secured.
     5. Choosethe most effectivefocusingmethodfrom
        the above accordingto the shootingsituation,
       such as the lens used,the subject,etc.
     6. For viewfinderadjustment,optionallyavailable
       accessories,such as a rubbereyecuppiece,
        diopterlenses,optionalanglefindersor                 Infocus 18     Notin focus 1 I23        magnifierscan be used.

Rewinding the film
     1. When the film advancelever no Iongeroperates
       smoothly,check the frame counter(4) display.lf
       the frame countershows that the all framesof
        the loadedfilm have been exposed,replacethe
        film.
     2. Pressthe film rewindbutton(27) on the camera
       base.
     3. Foldout the film rewindcrank (10) and turn it in
       the directionof the arrow.
     4. Once the pressureeases,the film is completely
      wound into the cassette.
     5.  Lift up the film rewindknob (11) and pull it out to
      open the back cover (25). Now the film cassette
       can be taken out.
     6. Do this in a place away from directsunlight.

    ..8"        (bulb) Setting
    1. With the shutterspeed dial (1) set at "B"
        position,the shutterwill remainopen for as long
       as the shutter releasebutton (2) is pressed.

                          www.orphancameras.com

This settingis usefulwhen an exposurelonger
       than one secondis required,such as in
       landscapephotographyat night. Or it can be
      used for the special effect photographyby
       employingthe flash test buttontogetherwith
                 i nsufficientlight conditions.
    3. Be sure to use a tripod and/or remote shutter
       releasecontrolwhen usingthis shutterspeed
        setting.

   Self-Timer
     1. Wind the film advancelever (3) and fully turn the
        self-timerlever (7) counterclockwise.Now the
        self-timeris ready to set.
     2. Pressthe shutterreleasebutton(2) and the self-
        timer operatesto releasethe shutterin
       approximately10 secondslater.
     3. Once the self-timerbecomesready it is
       impossibleto returnit manually.So operateit
        only when you reallyneed it.
     4. The self-timeris very usefulwhen you wish to
        includeyourselfin a picture,or, you can use it in
       order to preventcamera movementin shutter
        releasinginsteadof usingthe remoteshutter
        releasecontrol.

Flash Photography
      1. You only have to directlyset the flash unit in the
        hot-shoe(9) with the flash unit havingno cable
       and directsynchronizationfeatures.
      2. Set the shutterspeed dial (1) at 1 1125secondor
        lower.
      3. Set the correspondingaperturevalue with the
       GuideNumber(G.N.)of your flash unit by
        operatingthe aperturering (14).
        For detailson how to determinethe correct
        aperturevalue to use, followthe instructions
        given in the manualof your flash unit.

    Depth-of-field
     1. When you are focusingon a given subject,
        objectsin the foregroundand backgroundwill
       appearacceptablysharp in the picture.
       The range in which all objectsappear
        acceptablysharp in the pictureis called"depth-
          of-field."
      2. To obtainthe depth-of-fieldscale at different
        aperturesettings,the depth-of-fieldscale (15) is
        used.The depth-of-fieldscale is positioned
       betweenthe focusingring (17) and aperturering
         (14),and the distancewithinthe range between
29     pairsof the same f/stopson the depth-of-field
                           www.orphancameras.com

scaleas the used f/valueis the depth-of-field.
        To obtainthe actualdistancevaluesof the
          depth-of-field,read the valueswithinthe range
           off the focusingscale.
      3. For instance,when the lens is focusedon a
         subject at a distanceof 3m with the apertureset
          at f/8, the depth-of-fieldcan be obtained by
         usingthe depth-of-fieldscale as follows:the
         valueson the distancescale correspondingwith
         the f/valuesshown on the depth-of-fieldscale
         are approximately2.4m and 4.5m respectively.
         This meansthat all objectswithinthe range
        between2.4m and 4.5m distancecan be
        reproducedacceptablysharp in the picturewith
         the apertureset attl8.

Infrared Photography
       1-. The dot mark engravedin red on the depth-of-
          field scale (15) is the infrareddistanceindicator.
        This is used for readingthe distancescale in
         infraredphotographyusing infraredfilm.
      2. First,securefocus in the normalmanner.Then,
        read off the subject distanceon the normal
        distancescale (16),then align it with the
         infrareddistanceindicator.
      3. For instance,when you focus on a subjectat 3m
           in the normalmanner,read off the value "3" on
         the focusingscale and move the focusingring
           untilthe infrareddistanceindicatorpointsto "3".
      4. Use the red filteralwayswhen attempting
         infraredphotography.For other details
        concerninginfraredphotography,followthe
         instructionsof the infraredfilm used.
