Exakta RTL 1000 User Manual

Using the Penta Prism
The Penta Prism (41) serves the same pur -
pose as
the Finder Hood , with the ex-
ception, that the image in the viewfinde r
will
invariably be upright and laterally -
correct no matter whether the camera is
held horizontally or vertically; this is parti-
cularly useful when taking pictures of mo-
v ing subjects, since the image in the view -
finder will move in the same direction as
the subjekt itself. With very rapidly-moving
s ubjects the camera can thus be "panned"
by swinging it gently in the direction of
motion of the subject, as for ex ample, with
racing cars.
When employing the Penta Prism (41) the
camero should always be held at eye level.
Viewing the image through the eyepiece
(42) may be effected with either eye. This
is the most ad va ntageous way to use the
EXAKTA RTL 1000 with Penta Prism: Th e
cam era should be focu se d with th e thumb
and index finger of the left hand, the right
index finger being used for releasing the
shutter.
