Shutter selector
This shutter controls the amount of time the film is exposed to
light. All shutter speeds on the FX-70 Quartz, including
"AUTO" (automatic exposure), "B" (bulb), and "X" (Flash
Sync-Speed), are controlled by an electronic circuit using a
highly accurate quartz oscillating element.
<Shutter Selector Modes>
"OFF"..... In this position, the batteries are turned off and the camera does not operate. When not using the
camera, set the shutter selector to this position to avoid unnecessary battery drain and accidental exposures.
"AUTO".... In this position, the shutter speed is automatically controlled to give correct film exposure for the
aperture setting selected, subject brightness, and speed of film being used. This setting is also used when
making flash pictures with the electronic flash unit CS-201 Auto, (or the Contax TLA20, TLA30).
