Using
C
lenses with the 2000FC
Focal
plane
shutter and
C lenses
Since
the
built-in
leaf shutter in the C
lens
is
not
used
when
the
photographer
elects to
work
with the 2000FC's
focal
plane
shutter,
the shutter speed ring
on the C lens must
be
set
at
B
(green).
The synchronization
and
self-timer selector
on the C lenses must be
set at X.
NOTE: If
the synchronization selector is
set at the M instead
of the X setting, the
catch
(I)
must be
pressed
forward
before
the
selector will
shift to
X.
(See
Fig. 38.)
Be
careful not to
dislodge the
B
(green)
setting
on the lens when
setting an
f/stop.
The
camera's
shutter speed ring
(25)
can
tlaen be
set at an
appropriate
speed
(B,
r-1l2000
s).
Leaf
shutter option
When
the leaf shutter in
a
C lens is
used
in
combination with
the
2000FC,
the
camera's
shutter speed
ring
(25)
must
be
set
at C
(red)
on the speed
scale and
locked
at L with the lever
(38).
With this
arrangement,
the 2000FC's focal
plane
shutter
serves as
a
blind,
and the leaf
shutter in
the C lens handles the
exposure
and
flash
synchronization.
The
shutter speed and
f/stop
are
set
on
the
C
lens. The
shutter speed
ring
@)
and
diaphragm ring
(C)
are normally cross-
coupled.
Ilowever, when
the
cross-cou-
pling
release
(D)
is
pressed
back,
the
dia-
phragm
is
disengaged,
permitting
indepen-
dent setting of
aperture and
shutter speed
values opposite the
index
(A).

The
diaphragm can
be reopened to

phragm
ring to the value denoting the
maximum
aperture.
NOTE: At shutter speeds of
l/4
s or
Ionger,
the exposure release
button must
be kept

has
had time
to

To operate the self-timer
press
the detent
release
(I,
Fig.
38)
forward and
cock
the self-timer
by
moving the lever
(Iq
to
the V setting. Pressure
on
the
camera
release
button starts
a
mechanism
which
triggers the
shutter after
8-10
s.
NOTE:
The release button must be kepl
depressed
(most
conveniently with
a
locking
cable release)
until the shutter
has
been
triggered.
If
a
locking
cable release
is
used
to
make
the
exposure,
the locking
mechanism
must
be
disengaged
belore
the
camera
is
re-
cocked
and the
film
advanced.
