Zenit EM - Unloading and Special Features; Unloading the Camera

• ARTIFICIAL LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY
When light conditions are insufficient, use an electronic
flash or a flashbulb gun. To use flashbulbs, place the syn¬
chronizer on index “M”; when using an electronic flash,
place the synchronizer on index “X” (see fiqure 23). Artifi¬
cial light photography with the ZENIT EM! camera
requires an exposure time of 1/30 of a second since the
shutter curtain must be entirely open to allow complete
lighting of the subject when firing flash. Faster speeds
would result in a partially exposed frame.
• UNLOADING THE CAMERA jjjT
Under subdued daylight, unload the camera as follow:
1) When the exposure counter dial indicates that the max¬
imum number of exposures is reached, a slight resist¬
ance should be felt as you try to advance the film; do
not force it. Press on the rewind knob and turn it in the
opposite direction of the arrow. This will bring the knob
out of its seat (see figure 24).
