OPERATION OF CAMERA CON

Setting the Aperture

The ring fitted at the base of the lens adjusts the size of

the aperture (or opening) in the iris diaphragm. To pre-

set the lens aperture, turn the aperture ring until the de-

sired f/number setting on the scale is aligned with the

index mark provided on the

lens.

The iris diaphragm can

also be set to intermediate apertures between the click-

stop settings for more precise exposures.

Film-Advance Lever

The film-advance lever simultaneously advances the

film,

cocks the shutter and operates the frame counter.

It also switches on the exposure meter in the finder

and unlocks the shutter-release button. To advance the

film,

stroke the lever with the right thumb in a single

stroke totaling only 135°. A built-in locking device

prevents the shutter from being released unless it is

fully cocked and the film advanced a full frame. At the

completion of film advance, release the lever and it

will return to the 30° standoff position ready for shut-

ter release.

Note:

Do not apply pressure to the film-advance lever while

making an exposure.
