FED 4

User Manual.

This manual contains a brief description of ФЭД-4 (FED-4) camera and the basic rules for using

the camera. It cannot serve as a photography manual.

Slight differences between the description and the camera may occur as a result of technical

modifications being introduced in the design of the camera.

ФЭД-4 camera operates on standard 35-mm film with a picture size of 24×36 mm. The wide range

of shutter speeds, the trigger winder, synchronizer, automatic releaser, dioptric view-finder setting, the

light weight and compactness of the camera will satisfy the requirements of either amateur or

professional photographer.

ФЭД-4 camera is fitted with “Industar-61” lens with lanthanum optics which makes it possible to

obtain perfect large-size pictures. The camera is so designed that it is also possible to use

interchangeable lenses “Jupiter-8”, “Jupiter-9”, “Jupiter-11”, “Jupiter-12” and others.

In taking a picture the camera is focused with the help of the range-finder.

The photoelectric exposure meter incorporated in the camera i makes it always possible to choose

the proper exposure and ensures obtaining good negatives under various lighting conditions.

The automatic releaser allows the photographer to take pictures of himself.

At the bottom of the camera there is a socket for a tripod.

It is possible to photograph with a tripod without taking the camera out of its case.
