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.
