Open the battery compart-
ment lid by turning it
counter-clockwise. As il-
lustrated, install two mer-
cury batteries so that their
plus (+) side faces towards
you and close the lid se-
curely.
Use two 1.4V mercury bat-
teries (Mallorv RM64OR or
equ ivalent).
Precautionson Handling the Mercury Batteries
1. To prevent unnecessarydrain of battery power, the electric current is supplied only over the
duration the activator button is depressed.
2. Do not throw used mercury batteries into trash cans, in the fire or waste receptacles.
3. Do not dismantle mercury batteries or leave them where children can get accessto them.
4. Ordinarily, a set of mercury batteries will provide sufficient power for about one and a half years,
but it is advisable to make replacement before the battery power is completely exhausted.
5. The mercury batteries should be replaced if the red "UNDER" and "OVER" lampsfail to turn on,even
when you turn the aperture ring in either direction.

When shooting snow or beach scenes with a
filter over the lens, compensation for
""poruL
must be made according to the exposure factor of
the f ilter in use l2X in caseof Y2 fillerl. With the
Lynx-5000E, this exposure compensation is ac-
complished through ad.iustmentof the aperture set-
t i n g .
lf the correct exposuresetting under the prevailing
light condition is f/1 6 at 1125Osec.,exposurecom-
pensation when using a filter with a factor of 2X
should be made by turning the aperturering by one
setting to f 111. With a 4X f ilter, the aperture set-
ting must be adjusted by two stops to f/8.
Note: In the above circumstanceafter adjustmentshave been made, disregardthe red "OVER" indicator

When shooting against light or photographing a
subject near a window, or against an excessively
bright background such as snow-covered land-
scape, the prime subject is liable to appear ex-
tremely dark (under-exposed)if exposure is set in
the normal manner.
To obtain sparkling results in such cases(See low-
er photo), approach your prime subject and take Exposure set in the normal manner
exposure reading by seeing to it that the bright
light in the background is warded off from the
light acceptor.
In case the prime subject cannot be approached,
proper compensation must be made by adjusting
the lens aperture. (See page 18)

By depth of field, it is meant the range over which
objects in the foreground and background appear
acceptably sharp when the camera lens is focused
on a subject at a given distance.
The depth of field becomes more extensive when
the lens aperture is closed to a smaller opening and
likewise increasesin proportion to the camera-to-
subject distance.

ln case the camera lens is focused on a subject at a
distance of two meters and the correct aperture
setting is f/16, the range indicated by the figure

of about 1.3 meters to 5 meters will appear accept-
ably sharp on the film plane.
