Nomenclature and Functions
Body
R-M Lever
For normal operation, lever is
aligned with center index mark.
"M": For making Multiple Expo-
sures set it to "M". This will dis-
engage the film transport when
cocking the shutter. Do not for-
get to return it to center posi-
tion afterwards. This setting is
also used to exercise the cam-
era without film.
"R": Turning the lever to "R" un-
locks and permits rotating the
Revolving Back.
Cocking Lever
In a single operation this lever ad-
vances the film, cocks the shutter,
and sets the mirror. For proper
operation, be sure to push the
lever completely down.
Distance Scale
A single scale indicating distance
in meters and feet is used for all
lenses.
Focal Length Scale
Curved lines representing most fo-
cal lengths appear on this scale.
The point at which the appropriate
focal length curve intersects the
Distance Graduation indicates the
distance focused upon by the lens.
Dual Focusing Knob
For regular and fine focusing.
Release Button Collar
For normal operation the white dot () on the Release But-
ton Collar is kept aligned with the white dot on the Collar
Stop Lever. Aligning the white dot of the collar with the red
dot on the camera body locks the Shutter Release Button.
Aligning the collar with the orange dot makes it possible to
operate the shutter at approximately 1/400 sec. without
batteries in the camera.
