Magnetic
Release
Mechanism
(Charge)
i,
Winding
operation
causes
charge
operation
plate
(0360)
and
charge
lever
(3010)
being
engaged
with
the
plate
to
be
shifted
in
the
direction
of
the
arrow.
Further,
mirror
return
lever
(0524)
being
engaged
with
charge
lever
(3010)
is
moved
in
the
direction
of
arrow
to
push
spring
lever
(0581)
in
the
direction
of
arrow,
thus
charging
operation
lever
spring
B
(2039)
and
completing
the
preparations
for
release.
(Operation)
1. Release
magnet
operation
plate
(2030)
is
maintained
being
attracted
by
release
magnet
(2028)
via
release
magnet
york
(2026)
and
release
magnet
retainer
(2027).
When
shutter
release
button
set
(0281)
is
pushed,
the
electric
circuit
operates.
Then
a
magnetic
field
opposite
to
that
of
release
magnet
(2028)
is
generated
at
release
magnet
bobbin
(0583)
attached
to
release
magnet
york
(2026),
and
current
instantane-
ously
flows
due
to
the
discharge
of
condenser.
Consequently,
release
magnet
operation
plate
(2030)
becomes
unbalanced
in
attraction,
then
released
by
the
function
of
operation
lever
spring
(2039)
and
shifted
in
the
direc-
tion
of
arrow.
Release
operation
lever
A
(2036),
B
(2037),
C
(0571)
and
mirror
release
bar
(5021)
are
operated
in
order
via
@
of
release
magnet
operation
lever
(0582),
then
mirror
release
bar
(5021)
pushes
mirror
release
lever
(5022)
in
the
direction
of
arrow
thus
release
the
mirror
system
and
allowing
the
mirror
preset
system
to
operate.
(Return)
i When mirror return lever (0524) has returned to the original position with énpetere
completed, spring lever (0581) retained by mirror return lever (0524) becomes free.
. On returning of mirror return lever (0524), charge lever (3010) and. release operation
lever spring (2035) also return in the direction of dashed line.
. Release operation lever spring (2035) pushes release operation lever-A (2036) and
operates release magnet operation lever (0582) in the direction of arrow, then presses
release magnet operation plate (2030) against release magnet york (2026).
. Operation of release operation lever-A (2036) in the direction of dashed line causes
release operation lever-B (2037), C (0571), mirror release bar (5021) and mirror
release lever (5022) to return in the direction of dashed line, thus getting ready for
the next charge.
Magnetic Release Operation by Remote Cord
When the remote cord is connected to the release terminal as illustrated, the release
core is electrically connected to the remote control contact B, and then release switch
(S;) and remote cord switch (S;’) are connected in parallel to each other. The magne-
tie release is operated when remote cord switch (S;‘) is turned ON.
The shutter speed indication can be checked by setting touch switch (Sy) or metering
switch (S,) to ON.
