11. Rewinding The Film:
To rewind the film after the last exposure:
1. Press the film rewind button until it is locked in the depressed state, (fig 17).
2. Tilt up the rewind crank and turn in the direction of the arrow as indicated in figure 18.
3. When the film has completely rewound the rewind knob will suddenly turn very easily, this is an
indication that you have reached the end of the film and that you should stop rewinding.
4. Pull the rewind knob up, against the resistance to open the back.
5. Take out the film.
6. Press the rewind knob back down and close the back cover.
12. The "B" (Bulb) Setting:
At the "B" setting the shutter remains open while the shutter button is depressed to expose the film, (fig
19).
Use the "B" setting to take night scene or similar condition pictures.
It is recommended to use a tripod and shutter release cable when using the "B" setting to avoid camera
shake.
13. Self Timer:
1. Wind the film advance lever to ready the next frame of the film and fully turn the self timer lever
anticlockwise, (fig 20) the timer is now armed ready for use.
2. Press the shutter release button and the self timer starts to operate, the shutter will then be released in
approximately 10 seconds.
3. Once the self timer has been armed it is impossible to disarm manually it without operating the
shutter so use it wisely.
The self timer can be used to help eliminate camera shake if a shutter release cable is not available
whilst the camera is mounted on a tripod or other support device.
14. Flash Photography:
1. When using the flash unit you can only use the flash by inserting the flash unit into the hot shoe, (fig
21) or by using a special hot shoe cable connected to the flash unit.
2. Set the shutter speed to 1/125th of a second or slower for flash unit synchronization, (see previous
fig 11).
15. Depth Of Field:
At any aperture a certain amount of the subject is in focus in front and behind the main focal point, this
is known as depth of field.
The smaller the aperture the greater the depth of field. Also lenses with a short focal length such as
wide angle lenses have a greater depth of field.
A depth of field scale is etched onto the lens barrel, the example, (fig 22) shows a distance setting of
3m and an aperture setting of f/8, the subjects located within the 8 at both sides of the index mark,
(roughly 2.5m in the front range, 4.5m in the rear range) are sharp and clear.
Note: f/16 would give a wider range as the aperture is smaller.
