The Shutter release
Press quickly and smoothly - do not jerk, this
may otherwise result in blurred pictures.

Aperture and Depth of Field
The depth of field is that zone of the picture which
is sufficiently and sharply rendered' in front, as
well as behind the focused distance. lt is taken
from the distance in feet opposite the selected
aperture on the depth of field scale (2) to the
distance setting opposite the same aperture value
on the other side of the A mark.
Please remember: When using a large aperture
(2.8 or 4) you will get a short depth of field. When
using a smaller aperture (11 or 16) you will get
a large depth of field.

Flash shots
The camera is X-synchronized.The flash unit is
connected with the camera thru the flash contact
(19). When using flash bulbs (Type XM-1/PF-1 or
AG-1) the shutter-speed must be 1/so(not above).
When using electronic flash units, all shutter-
speeds up to 1/roocan be used.
The Guide number of the respective flash bulbs
or unit has to be used in order to figure out the
correct aperture.This guide number can usually be
found in the instructionscoming with the equipment.

Practical Accessories
o For black and white or color film there is a range
of Voigtlrinderf ilters in various colors and densitiel.
o For close-up shots there is the Voigtliinder
PROXIMETER.
o The Voigtliinder sun-shade not only keeps out
all stray light,which may spoil thecontrastand the
picture sharpness,but is also useful for protecting "badthe lens in weather" shots.
