Focussing: Open finder Hood by pressing catch (1) on the back of the hood and
wind shutter by swinging-Sim transport lever (2) 2s far as it will go: then let it
spring back. Now an enlarged image of the subject is visible on the ground-glass
screen. Sharp focussing is aecomplished by turning the distance ring (12A), and the
stop is set by turning the lens mount front ring. For critical focussing release the
focussing magnifier (13A) by moving the button (138) upwards and raise the camera
to the eye. (in order to use the frame finder, the chromium hood (13C) must be
swung upwards).

Close the finder hood only after the focussing magnifier (13) has been allowed to
spring back into its neutral position by moving the button (13B) downwards. Then
fold down the side walls (18A and B), the back (18C) with the frame finder and
finally the front part (18D) until the latter snaps into position.

Setting of shutter speeds: The short speeds from ¥/,o99 t© "as sec. as well as B
or Z are set on the shutter speed knob (14) by lifting it up and turning the speed
required opposite to the red dot on the fixed centre (15) and letting it down again.
The shutter is released by pressing the shutter release knob (11). By winding the
film transport lever (2) as far as it will go, the film is moved forward one frame, the
shutter is wound, and the reflex mirror swung into focussing position. The delayed
action and slow speed knob (16) with fixed knob centre (17) is used for the slow
shutter speeds from ¥/, to 12 sec. (black figures) and for the delayed action release
(red figures). When using the delayed action release (self-timer) (16), it is indis-
pensable to set the shutter speed knob (14) to Z or B. (Nor will it work properly,
unless the film transport lever (2) has been wound up.) To start with, the slow
speed knob (16) must be turned clockwise as far as it will go, lifted up and turned
so that the speed required (in black) comes to lie against the red mark on the knob
centre (17). It is of paramount importance that the slow speed knob (16) is wound
as far as it will possibly go. When taking pictures with delayed action release, the
red figures of the knob (16) must come to lie against the red mark on the knob
centre (17). The knob (16) is turned as far as it will go and lifted up so that the
speed required (in red) is opposite to the red mark on the knob centre (17). For
delayed action release with speeds from */,999 0 3/45 sec. any red figure must come
to lie against the red mark on the knob centre (17) and the shutter speed knob (14)
must be set to the exposure time required (from 1/s999 tO /25 sec.). The delaying
time is always 13 sec.
