This instruction manual contains the basic characteristics and essential operating principles of the Zenith
B Camera. Read very carefully and follow the instructions in the first few days of use. Soon you will
become familiar with the camera's controls, and handling, until you do not have to think about the
'mechanism' of the camera -- but enjoy concentrating on the more creative possibilities with this fine
instrument.
