are
made
with
the shutter
set to
B.
On
depres-
sing
the release, the shutter
will remain open
until the
pressure
on the
release is removed.
For long
time
exposures
use a cable release; this
screws
into the centre of the
release button
(or
into a socket on
the
camera
front, in the case of the earliest
models).
FLASH SYNCHRONIZATION.
Rolleiflex models
2.8D, 2.8C
and
later Rolleiflex Automats
are XM-synchronized.
For X-
synchronization, set
the
synchronizing
lever
(next
to
the
flash socket
or-on the
2.8C-between
the
lenses) to X,
for M-synchronization to
M.
On the
model
2.8D
the
lever is next to
the finder
lens. Earlier
Rolleiflex
Automats have
no
setting
lever and
are
permanently
X-
synchronized;
the
first models are
not
synchronized
at
all.
While all synchronized
cameras
will accept the standard

plug,
a
special
Rolleiflex
flash
plug
is designed for the later

plug
locks
into

A
DELAYED
ACTION RELEASE
(selfrtimer)

built
into Rollei-

the delayed
action
release button on
top of the
camera front
in
the
direction
of
the
arrow.
After
a delay
of
about
10
seconds,
it will then automatically
release
the shutter.
With the
2.8C and
D,
the self-timer
is worked
by a lever on the
top
right of
the
front
panel.
This
lever is not
linked with the film transport
and
must be tensioned
separately before
use
(move
in the
direction
of
arrow
marked
"V"
on
model2.8D).
DELIBERATE
DOUBLE
EXPOSURES
are
possible
with the
2.8C, 2.8D and the
last 3.5
models. The control
is
a
milled
segment
below the
film
crank.
To
tension
the shutter a second
time
(after
an
exposure)
without advancing
the film,
push
this segment
in the direction
of
the arrow
and turn
the crank
backwards through one
revolution
