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).

Pressing
on
the top of the catch
stops
the lens
down to
the
preselected

The
diaphragm can
be reopened to
the

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

has
had time
to

(Iq
to

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
