Pre-release and Cable Release
Considerable efforts have been made to reduce
camera vibrations caused by moving parts
in
the
exposure sequence. However, if you wish -to
avoid these vibrations completely, you can pre-
release the Ā·mechanism
by
pushing the pre-
release button upwards. This causes the follow-
ing sequence: the mirror folds up, the shutter
closes and remains closed, and the auxiliary
shutter opens. When you subsequently press
the release button, only the shutter then operates
at
the preset speed.
As shown in the illustration, you can also attach
a cable release
to
further reduce vibrations.
Since the image
on
the focusing screen disap-
pears
in
a pre-released camera, a sports viewfin-
der
is
a good way
to
keep track of moving
subjects.
Double Exposure
As
the camera has been designed to prevent
accidental double exposure you will have to carry
out the following procedure in order
to
make
multiple exposures
on
the same frame:
1.
Depress the main release button and make
the initial exposure.
2. Insert the magazine slide and remove the
magazine.
3.
Wind the camera with one full revolution of
the winding crank.
4. Replace the magazine and remove the slide.
The unit
is
now ready
to
make a second exposure
on
the same frame. You can make additional
exposur
es
in
the same manner.
