Zenith 12 - Time Exposures Guide

Time Exposures
Although the camera
may be rested on a firm
surface the best results
will be obtained by the
use of a tripod but avoid
those of a flimsy nature.
A Helios Tripcd or
Helios Mini-Tripod
(illustrated) is ideal.
For exposures longer
than the meter range
(1/30th atf/2) the"B"
setting on the Speed
Dial [1] must be used.
The exposure should be
determined by using a
hand-hefd meter such
as the Leningrad or by
experience/estimation.
Set the Speed Diai to
"B".
Set the Aperture Ring
[9], Focus and cock
shutter by advancing
Film Transport Lever [2]
in short strokes until it
stops.
