type of cable release.
LENS OPENING
The lens opening or aperture forms one factor for
controlling the intensity of light transmitted through the
lens and reaching the film plane. Your Yashica camera
features an ultra-sharp Yashinon lens with aperture
settings of f/3.5, 4 5.6, 8, 11, 16 and 22. The maximum
aperture is f/3.5, while the minimum is f/22.
To adjust the lens opening, rotate the Aperture Control
Wheel with your thumb and set the desired setting in the
Shutter Speed/Lens Aperture Indicator Window. The lens
opening can be set at any in-between settings, as required.
SHUTTER SPEED
The shutter speed controls the length of exposure of the photosensitive emulsion of the film to light.
Your Yashica camera is equipped with a precision engineered Copal Shutter with speed settings of 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8,
1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1 /125, 1/250 and 1/500 sec.. and B.

Release Button is kept depressed.
At 1/15 sec. or slower speeds. mount your camera on a tripod and use a cable release to trip the shutter in to prevent camera shake.
