226 THE HASSELBLAD MANUAL
Camera Operation with the PC Mutar
There is no mechanical connection between the camera and the lens/PC Mutar combination.
The camera and lens shutter must be operated with the supplied cable release. The two cable
release ends must be adjusted so that camera and lens operate in the proper sequence as
follows:
1. The shutter in the lens closes.
2. The mirror lifts up, and the auxiliary shutter opens while the shutter in the lens remains closed.
3. The shutter in the lens opens and closes to make the exposure. After it is adjusted and locked,
the sequence remains intact at least for that particular lens and camera. Do not use the pre-
release because the lens shutter does not close down.
Although the operation with the double cable release works, you can simplify the opera-
tion by attaching the PC Mutar to a 200 model camera and use the focal plane shutter for the
exposure. The 200 camera can be operated two ways:
1. Attach only one cable release to the camera release thread of the PC Mutar to release the cam-
era. (The release button is covered by the PC Mutar.)
2. Make the exposure with the self-timer built into the camera set for a short two-second delay.
This approach can be used with shutter and non-shutter lenses and does not require recocking
the shutter in the lens after the exposure. You must remember, however, to close the lens aper-
ture manually for metering and for the exposure (see Figure 13-10).
Figure 13-10 PC Mutar on focal plane shutter cameras. The supplied cable release (a) does not
have to be used with any lens used on 200 V system cameras. Use the focal plane shutter for
the exposure, and release the camera with the self-timer. The aperture (b) on all lenses must
be manually closed down (c).
