Praktica FX2 - Shutter and Exposure Control; Shutter and Film Transport Coupling

One complete clockwise
rotation of the film trans¬
port knob as far as it will
go, cocks the shutter and
advances the film to the
next frame.
The exposure is made by slight pressure on the release knob. To
avoid blurring your picture, keep your finger on the release knob
until the shutter has traveled its course. For longer time exposures
it is advisable to use a cable release which may be screwed into
the release knob. Take care not to depress the release knob while
you arc winding the shutter.
Shutter
and film transport
in the Praktica arc
coupled, hence elimi¬
nating double expo¬
sures and blanks. A
turn of the film trans¬
port knob cocks the
shutter, advances the
film to the next frame,
and swings the mirror
into the light path of
the lens. The picture
counter moves one
stroke further on.
