  any oxide deposit. Insert four new batteriesin accordance with
   Fig. F in batterycompartment37; only hold them by the edges,
  do not touch the front or back. Engage cover 34 and tighten
  screwwithoutusingforce.
  Suitablebatterytypes: silver oxide batteries1.5 V, e. g. Mallory
  MS 76 H, Varta 7301or equivalentbatteriesof other makes.
   After inserting the batteries move rapid film advance lever 22

  cation also takes place automatically each time a picture is
  taken.
   Battery life is 1to 2 years; a yearly battery change is recom-
  mended. New batteries are obtainablefrom all photographic
   dealers.During extended idle periods keep the battery outside
  the camera; before refitting clean as described above. Always
  remove spent batteries.In very cold weather first warm up the
   batteryto body temperatureand insert it immediatelybefore use.           1

Open aperture measurement
only with lenses for Rollei SL 35 M/SL 35 ME and lenses for
Rollei SL 35/SL 350 with aperture simulator: do not depress
stop down pin 7.
Working aperture measurement
with all other lensesand when using adapters,extensiontubes
or bellows:depressthe stop down pin 7.
An incorrect positionof the stop down pin is indicatedby the
red signal 42 (when button 2 is pressed down to its first step),
the meter is then switchedoff.
Aperture preselection
according to brightness,film speed and subject: e. g. f/11-16
for bright daylight in summer, pictures on the beach and in
mountains,or for high-speedand very high-speedfilms from
200-3200ASA; f/8-16 for subjects with considerable depth of
tield; t/2.8-5.6 for fast mowing subjects and sporting events;
t/1.8-2.8for restricted depth of field: 'il4-B for slow to medium
speed films from 25-160 ASA; f/1.8-4 tor weak available tight,
interiors,mist and rain.
Checking meter pointer position
The meter pointer 45 indicatesthe shutter speed automatically
set at the preselected aperture. This shutter speed can be
altered by turning aperture ring 9; for hand-heldshots it must
be between r/rs and 1/rooosec in the instantaneausexposure
range 40 above the black bar.

  The black figures on the scale 46 are fractions of a second,
  the lowestthreefigures,however,representingfull seconds.
  The top red mark 44 (above 1/rooosec) is a warning against
  overexposure;selecting a smaller aperture will restore the
  pointer to the permissiblemeasuring range. The bottom red
  mark 47 (below 4 sec) is a warning against underexposure,
  permissibleexposure conditions are restored by selecting a
   largeraperture.
  Checkinglight conditions
  Press button 2 down to its first step: green signal 43 =  suffi-
   cientlight,red signal42 :  insufficientlight,
  The apertures selected are reflected through port 3 and are
   visible above the viewfinder image, when Rollei lenses have
  been fitted directly into the camera bayonet.With Rollei wide
  angle lenses having focal lengths of 15, 16 and 18 mm; when
  using adapters,extension tubes or bellows as well as with
   lensesof other makes the aperturescan only be read off outside.
  from the lens mount itself.
  Note:
  Under averagelighting conditions,the exposure measurement
   will set the correct shutter speed. Gorrectionis advisiblewith
  backlightshots or with very high contrast subjects: after expo-
  sure measurement,retain first pressureon shutter release,then
  approachthe subject with the camera until the main subject
    fills the finder view. Set the aperture,then return to the original
  viewpointfor the shot itself- or take a readingfrom an object
  similarto the main subject (if necessarythe back of your own
  hand),of normal brigthnessrange and under the same condi-
   tions. Read the aperture, then take the picture with the setting
  obtained.
  Exposurewith fixed shutter speeds
   e. g. for very rapid movements,sports events etc.: rotate aper-
  ture ring until meter pointershows the desiredspeed.Keep this

time on memoryr depress button 2 half-way until green signal
       appears, frame the subject and then press release button fully
       down.
       Note: ln order to avoid unnecessarybatterydrain during long
         idle periods,the exposure meter should be switched off : switch
         off meter switch21 with rapid film advancelever,thus masking
        the red "ON" signal.
       Exposure  without  automatic   control
       Exposureswith flash
       According to the type of flash used set the requiredflash symbol
         to index 14 with the shutter speed dial 15: for electronicflash
        units use the flash symbol t  , for units with flash bulbs type AG,
     XMs B, M 3 etc. the bulb symbol Q ; in both cases the shutter
       speed is rlo sec. Fit flash unit either into hot shoe 19 or attach
        with a bracketto triood bush 36.
       For flash units with center contact (no cord) connectioncan be
      madedirectlywith the camerausingthe hot shoe 19.
       For flash units without center contact plug the flash cord into
       terminal4.
      The aperture to be set is obtained from the subject distance
      and the flash guide number (see instructionmanual for flash
         unit).
       Exposureswith manual speed selection$ffi
         for setting fixed speeds are also possible by switching off the
      speedautomation:
        First of all measurethe exposureas usual in "A" setting,note
       preselectedaperture and shutter speed set. This shutter speed/
       aperturecombinationcan be altered in steps with shutter speed
        dial 15 and aperturering 9 until the requiredspeed is obtained.
     When doing so, one aperture click stop also correspondsto
       one shutter click stop: e. g. f/8 to 11 = 1/tzsto r/oosec.
        lmportant: Make certain that the available light does not alter
      between measurementand exposure-  if this is the case repeat
       the measurement!

Focusing
Look through the viewfinderand sight the subject if possible
on a verticalor horizontaledge or line so that it runs exactly
throughthe center of the finder.By turningthe focusingring 32
the line which appears distorted in the central diagonal split
image rangefinder is straightened-+ Fig.C. The correct distance
has now been found whereby the unsharp line on the ground
glassscreenand in the microprismspot is sharplydefinedat the
sametime.
The distanceset can be seenon scale31 againstindex10.
Subjects without straight lines or edges can be focused with
the microprismspot or on the ground glass screen -> Fig.D.
Spectaclewearers may use a correction lens made up by any
optician(lens mount Order No. 977 21O).
With infraredfilm
(of maximum sensitivityat a wavelengthof 800 nm) first focus
as describedabove.Then read the distanceagainstthe index10,
mount the infrared filter and reset the distance read against
the infrared index 11.

Apertureand depth of field
Preselect the aperture by turning the aperture ring 9.' The
f-numberrequired must be oppositethe index 10. The setting
of the aperture depends on the depth of field required: The
smaller the f-number the larger the lens aperture and the
smallerthe depth of field.
The depth of field can also be checked on the ground glass
screen in the viewfinder:by pressingthe stop down pin 7 the
diaphragm is stopped down to the preselectedvalue and thus
makes it possible to adjust the sharpness to the requirements
to the desired part of the photograph.When the stop down pin 7
is pressed again the diaphragm springs back to full aperture
and is automatically stopped down to the preselected value
when the shutter is released.
Reading from the depth of field scale: here the aperture marks
(correspondingto the preset lens aperture on the scale 12, to
each side of the index 10), point to the depth of field zone on
the focusing ring 32 (circle of confusion z:50  p  / 0.002 in;
further stoppingdown is necessaryfor utmost sharpness).
Example in Fig. E: 50 mm lens f/1.8, stopped down to f/8 and
focused to 10 ft, depth of field from approx. 7 ft to 18 ft.
Reading from tables: Exact values for all lenses are given in
the Rolleidepthof f ield table "35 mm SLR".

The exposure
 Frame center of picture or important picture area in the view-
finder and press button 2  tully down (green signal in view-
finder  :  correct automatic exposure, red signal = danger of
underexposure).
The mirror swings up, the diaphragm closes down to the preset
lens aperture and the focal plane shutter travels at the con-
trolled shutter speed. Then the mirror returns immediately to
its position and the diaphragmsprings back to full lens aper-
tu re.
When the diaphragm stop down pin 7 is pressed in, the dia-
phragm always remains at the set value after releasing and
tensioning(indicatedby the red signal,using lenseswith aper-
ture simulator).
When the shutter has been released the camera must be ten-
sioned for the next exposure. When doing this always swing
the rapid advance lever 22 through as far as it will go.

Exposureswith self timer
Press lever5 upwards as far as it will go.
On pushing the start button 6 in the direction indicated by the
arrow, about 6 sec elapse before automatic exposure; during
this time the lever returnsto its initial position.
Time exposures (shutter setting "8") are not possible with the
self timer.


Exposureswith filter
Screw filter into lens thread 33 without the use of force. The
through-the-lenslight metering system means that the filter
factor is adjustedautomatically.
Furtherdetailsare given in the filter table in the Rollei publica-
tion "Accessories35 mm SLR".

Exposureswith lens hood
are recommendedat all times: the lens is plotected from direct
light sources, water splashes and raindrops, and picture
brillianceand sharpnessare improved.
Accordingto lens focal lengththe followinghoods are used:
rectangularlens hood for 25 mm focal length,
folding lens hood for 35-50 mm (with slightly reduced effect up
to 135mm) focal length,
screw-inlens hood for 85-135mm focal length,
extendinglens hood for 200 mm focal length.
The mark on the rectangularlens hood must be in alignment
withthe index'10.
Simultaneoususe of filter and lens hood is possible.For further
detailssee the Rolleipublication"Accessoires35 mm SLR".

Exposures with lenses of other makes
When metering cover up port 3 to avoid under exposure by
stray light (especiallywith low light and/or lenseswith chrome
finish).           Fr-,41,,t',,                 v'





Unloading  the  film
By pressingthe release35, unlock the rewind locking mechanism
and turn the rewind crank 23 in the directionof the arrow until
the frame counter26 has reachedits initial positionand a slight
resistance is felt (film has detached itself from the take-up
spool). Only now open the camera back by pulling up the
rewind knob 23 and removethe film cassette.
