Loadlng the film

The camera takes al l 35 mm miniature fi lmsin standard cartr idges of 12,20 or 36 exposuresavailable hroughout he world, as well as day-l ight spools, darkroom reloads and bulk f i lmloaded in such cartr idges. Load the f i lm intothe camera at least in the shade of your ownbody; avoid bri l l ian t sunlight and dusty loca-t ions .

Open the camera back 5 by pull ing up therewind knob 6 and fold open. Brief ly press inthe rewind release 35.

Fully pull out the rewind knob 6 and insert hefi lm cartr idge. Turn the rewind knob unti l t canbe pushed n aga in .Pull out the f i lm leader rom the cartr idge andfully push it into the outer slot 48. Turn themilled wheel 49 in the direct ion of the white

arrows to get both f i lm perforat ions properlymesheci. Close the camera back and let itengage.Alternately elease and tension as shown unti lthe exposure counter 7 shows . 1




Checking he correct f i lm advance: The rewindknob 6 should rotate during tensioning (with2O-exposure r 12-exposure ar tr idges or shortbulk lengths i t may only star t turning af terseveral exposures).

Depth of fieldDirect assessment: Fully depress the stop-down key 11, thus closing the aperture o thepreset value. The expected depth of f ield inthe image can then be judged direct ly on thefocusing screen 52 (suitable only for br ightl ighting and with not too small apertures) .From the depth of fleld indicator: Here theaperture marks corresponding to the presetlens aperture on the scale 19, to each side ofthe index mark 17, point to the depht of f ieldzone on the focusing r ing 14 (circle of confu-sion z : 50 microns or 0.002 nch; urther stop-ping down is necessary or utmost sharpness) .Example : 50 mm Planar /1 .8 , s topped downto f /16 and focused to 10 feet : depth of f ieldf rom approx. 51/z eet to m.

The exposure meter

The ful l-f ield exposure measurement methodat the working aperture has been designed bypractical photographers or practical photo-graphy. n the large majori ty of cases his wellplanned system direct ly yields the optimumreading. t works rel iably even in diff icult spe-cial cases if a few sim ple rules are fol lowed.

The exposure meter is a precision nstrumentof r ighsensit ivi ty i th a special ly xtended mea-sur ing ange 1 second a t f /1 .8 o r / roooseconda t f 16 wi th 100 ASA or 21 DIN i lm) . t assessesthe average brightness of the subject f ieldcovered and uses two cadmium sulphidece l l s to measure he l igh t coming hrough helens .

Measuring the exposure /

With preselected shutter speedTurn the shutter speed dial 27 in ei ther direc-t ion unti l the required shutter speed engagesopposite he i ndex 28. This can be do ne with.the shutter ensioned or not tensioned.The f igures on the shutter speed dial indicatefract ions of a second. No intermediate aluescan be used.The B sett ing for ime exposures of any length)cannot be preselected or exposure measure-ment.

Set the changeover witch29 to "A" (automatic

spring-loaded aperture) . Sight the subjectthrough he finder eyepiece 16 and depress hestop-down key 11: this switches on the metersystem. Turn the aperture ing 15 to centre hemeter needle 61. The aperture r ing engagesat half stop intervals down to the smallest stopbut one; however, intermediate set t ings canalso be used.When the meter needle is centred in the cut-out , the correct aperture is set for the prese-lected shutter speed. Then release the stop-down key: this switches off the meter systemand the meter needle returns nto i ts rest posi-t ion pointing obliquely upwards.

p




l f the m eter needle does not react or cannotbe centred, preselect a different exposuret ime: lf the needle stops too high up, use ashorter ime; f the needle s too low down, usea longer ime, as given in the table on page 50.

Applications: Exposures requiring fast shutterspeeds to arrest rapid movement (action andsports shots, street scenes, children, animalsetc. ) or to avoid camera shake (when shootingfrom a car, t rain, ship or aircraf t , when moun-taineering etc.) .

lmportant: The large measuring ange permitssho t s

With preselected apertureSet the changeover switch 29 to "A". Turn theaperture ring 15 to the selected value. Sightthe subject and ful ly depress the stop-downkey 11 . Gen t re he mete r need le 61 by tu rn ingthe shutter speed dial 27. Always let the shutter

speed d ia l engage u l ly ; no in te rmedia te a luescan be used. f this procedure brings he B set-ting into play, see pages 27 and 50.When the meter needle is centred in the cut-out, the correct shutter speed is set for thepreselected aperture. Then release the stop-down key.lf the meter needle cannot be ce ntred, prese-lect a different aperture:lf the meter needle stops above the centralposit ion, use a smaller aperture; if i t stopsbelow, preselect a larger aperture.

Appllcat lons: Subjects requir ing a specif ieddepth of f ield as determined rom the indicator

19 or the depth of f ield able (architecture, ndu-strial sho ts, macrophotography etc. mostly re-qu i r ing maximum depth o f f i e ld ; f ash ion , por-trai t and advert ising hots of ten requir ing mini-mum depth of f ield for differential ocusing) .

l fwww.orphancameras.com



lmportant: f turning the shutter speed dial 27fai ls to centre he meter needle, a subsequent"f ine adjustment" with the aperture ing 15 wil ldo the rest .

Without automatic spring-loaded aperture

Move he changeover witch 29 to "M" (manualset t ing) . Fully depress the stop-down key 11.Centre he meter needle 61 by turning he aper-ture r ing 15 and/or the shutter speed dial 27.When the needle s centred in the cut-out , heaperture and exposure ime are c orrect ly set .

Appllcat ions: Subjects requir ing direct depthof f ield control without pressing he stop-downkey; also shots with

the lens . in i ts retro posit ion (see page 32) orwith lenses of other makes n the intermediateadapter (see page 38).

Releasing

Hold the camera steady. Smoothly and fullydepress he release button 12.

With cable reteaseFor slower shutter speeds - exposure t imeslonger than 1/ro second - screw the cablerelease into the socket 31 and mount thecamera on a tr ipod (with a thread of up to 0.18inch /4 .5 mm leng th ) . For long t ime exposuresuse a cable rel ease with lock, also cover thefinder eyepiece o screen off stray l ight .

With self-timer

Tension the lever 32 as far as i t wil l go. Thedelay t ime is abou t 12 seconds af ter pressingthe star t button 33.The shutter and self- t imer can be tensionedand released independently of each other.Hence the release button 12 can be used fordirect exposures even when the self- t imer stensioned, while the self t imer can run down

when the shutter is not tensioned.The self- t imer is also useful for avoidingcamera shake with hand-he ld shots of stat icsubjects at exposure t imes of 1/n second orlonger.

t ThereforeWith hand-held exposures: Use fast s peeds toavoid camera shake. The longest usable imeis r /ro second; 1/n and t, /rzsS€cond are saferand more rel iable. With long focus lenses anda not very steady camera hold use 1ltzs or,better st i l l , r /zsosecond.Wlth moving subjects: Use short exposuret imes to avoid movement blur. As a generalguide:
