THE
SHUITER
RE1EASES
Fig.23
The Rolleiflex SL 2000 F has
a shutter
release
button on
either side of the
camera body, thus it may easily be used
right or
left
handed
and operated with either a thumb or
"finger
whichever
isfound to be the most conyenient
(fis.

a

The shutter releases onlyworkwhen
the main switch is
set to an operating
position
("1,
B
or C"), and
when the
magazinefuncton control is set to
"ME"
or
"SE".
The action of the
shutter
release
buttons is a two stage
operation:
Stage
1
=
Light measurement: Thke theJirst
pressure
on
the
shutter
release
button and this will activate the metef
aperture and shutter speed information is displayed in
theviewJinder
Stage 2
:
Releusing: The exposure is
completed byfully
depressing
the shutter
release
button; the camera will
expose
according to the data displayed.
Because
of
the
positioning
of the
release
buttons and the
mode of
operation, the handling of the camera is very
smooth and this eliminates the
possibility
of many
