BEAULIEU 4008 - Three-Position Power Supply Switch

D
: Three-position power supply switch
This power switch controls the use of the camera: it has three
positions:
A
10
Normal position
The switch plunger is free; at the moment of filming, it must be
depressed with the palm of the hand, thus establishing electric
contact. Then, on pressing the release button, the camera starts
filming (switch set to "Auto" or "Manue!"). To stop, first lift
the finger from the push-button release; then relax the pressure
exerted on the plunger: this breaks the electric circuit.
Note.- In no case must be camera's action be stopped by first
releasing the plunger, or the electric circuit will be broken no
matter what the shutter's position. On the contrary, by first
releasing the push-button release, the camera stops with the
shutter closed, thus avoiding any risk of fogging. The plunger
can then be released.
Safety-catch position
Useful during travel or when the camera is carried in the hand.
The plunger being in position (A), pull it out slighty (without
reaching the red dot) until the metal pin appears: press on the
broad end of the pin, thus locking the plunger in the "off" posi-
tion. To release, press on the smaller end of the pin.
