UPRIGHT.UNREVERSEDIMAGE
As a 3Smm single lens reflex camera, the Petri FTX uses a
mirror as part of its optical system to transfer the image
entering the lens to the viewfinder. In the process,the image
which is originally reversed and inverted when it enters the lens is reversed and turned right side up so you see the tu
picture in the viewfinder exactly as your naked eye would.

MICROMATICPRISM GRID
Petri FTX has the original Petri Micromatic Focusing system
for fast and accurate focusing.The precisionfocusing elements
in the viewfinder consist of a group of more than 8OO micro-
prisms as shown in the center of the picture. As you look
through the micro-prism area @ in the viewfinder, you can
see the subject clearly, ONLY when it is correctly focused.

Photography with f lash not only extends your
picture possibilities g reatly but adds excitement
and d rama to your pictures. The use of f lash
equipment with your camera is relatively simple
becauseit has built-in synchronization. lt is equip-
