Nikon EL2 Film Camera User Manual


 
SHUTTER RELEASE OPERATION
For sharp pictures, correct shutter releasing is just as
important as steady camera holding. After advancing
the film to a fresh frame, the camera is set for shutter
release via the button provided at the upper right.
When taking the picture, hold the camera steady (as
explained previously), relax and depress the button us-
ing a steady even pressure to release the camera's shut-
ter—remember, a quick jab of the finger will cause
camera movement and may result in a blurred photo-
graph.
Operation via Cable Release
The shutter-release button can also be tripped via a ca-
ble release or similar accessory for more vibration-free
operation when the camera is tripod-mounted and op-
erated at slow shutter speeds. And, as two mounting
threads are provided, virtually any type cable release can
be used. To attach an ISO-thread release (Nikon model
AR-3,
etc.), screw the connector into the V-shaped
thread in the center of the button. For Nikon-thread
releases (model AR-2, etc.), screw the connector onto
the threads provided around the button. The shutter is
then tripped by depressing the release plunger.
