(Fig.  3)  until   the  two  red  dots  on
knob  (6) (Fig.  3) come together. The
shutter  is then wound.

     (Instruction  only  re Reflex  II.)

Should you  require  the  longer speeds
(  lro th - 2 sec) set the knob  5 (Fig' 3)
at  B, and wind  the  shutter. Now  set
the  small  knob  5 a  (Fig.  3) marked
t/ro    th - 2 sec at the required speed. (If
the knob  runs back you have not  fully
wound  the  shutter.)  In releasing on the

Open the back of the cameru by pressing
the button   in  the  direction   of the arrow.
Pull   out  the   rifled   spool - grip  - button
(")  (Fig. 1) with  the  left hand and fasten
it  by  a short winding  to the  right. Now
put  in  the  spool  of  film   (b)  (Fig.  2)
holding  a few  oblique       to  the  right

spool-grip-tap   by the  right  hand and pay
hereby   attention,   that  the  pointed  end
of  the  protecting   paper  points   out   to
the  empty  spool  being  above.  By  dis-
bolting  of the spool-grip-button   a (Fig. Z)
the  same  springs  with   its  combination-
tap  into  the  fiIm-spool.
After  breaking   the gummed  paper draw
the  pointed   end  of  the  film   backing-
paper  over  the  rollers  toward  the empty
spoolo and  fasten  the  film  by  threadiog
the  pointed  end  of  the  backing  paper
through  the long  slit  in the empty  spool.
It  is essential  to make  sure at this  point
that  the  film   is  running   exactly  in  the
middle   of the  film  track.  A few  turns  of
the  film-winding   knob   (2\  (Fig.  3)  will
suffice   to   tighten   the  backing  - paper.
After   closing  the camerao turn  the  film-
winding  knob   in  short  turns   until   first

Then  open  the  camera-back  and  hold
the end  of  the  backing-paper  while  you
give  the knob  (2) (Fig. 3) a further   turn

i. The Foccrl Plone Shuller.
The  Reflex  . Korelle   shutter   is a Focal
Plane  shutter,  capable  of instantaneoug
                              'lroospeeds of  2 second to       of a second,
and  time  exposures.

k. Ghonging rhe Lenses.
If  you  wish   to  exchange  the  lens  at
present   in  use  for  another  onee screw
out  the  one  lens  from  the  lens mount
and  screw in the other.  In changing  the
lenses make  sure  that  the  dots  on  the
mount  and  on  the  last ring  of the lenso
come  to  rest  exactly  together.    If  this  is
not  precisely  adhered  to  in the changing
of  the  standard  lenses then  the release
 will  be  faulty  owing   to  the  impaired
movement    of  the   mirror.   The   fitted
 objectives  must  be  only  used  for  the
camera  to  which  they have been  fitted.
 l. Single Exposutos.

Generol  Points
The  Korelle   - Reflex   is
so constructed  that with
careful use a long  life  is
ensured.  It  is advisable
to  carry  the camera  in
a  case  to  proteCt    it
from  dust.    It   is most
important   to keep  the
film   track  and  rollers
free from  dust, as other-
wise  the  film  may  be
scratched. A small brush
will   be  found   useful
for  removiog  the  dust.
