points
to the
required
exposure value
(from
3 to
18). You
obtain
the
correct exposure
value from
a separate meter reading. Then
let
go
of the centre
of the left-hand
setting wheel; the aperture-speed
controls interlock
again.
Select the aperture-speed
combination. Both
speed and
aperture
are
controlled by the
right-hand
setting wheel. To
change the
shutter-
aperture combination,
just
move
this
wheel
until
the window
above
the
finder
lens shows the
required aperture
or shutter speed.
On the Rolleiflex models
with non-coupled meter
you
can turn
either setting
wheel. While normally
the speed and aperture
controls
are fully
coupled, there
is
an
interlock
release in the
centre of the
aperture
(left-hand)
wheel.
To
disengage the coupling,
depress the
centre
of the aperture
wheel and turn the centre
so that the
two black
index marks
are
at right-angles
to the loops engraved
on the outer
rim. Turning
the button
so that the index marks
point
to the loops
again,
restores
the aperture-speed coupling. Make
certain
that the
coupling has
engaged by turning
either or both
of the wheels,
and
see that the
button is in the
correct
position.
