Turning Electronic Shutter Adjustment Off (435ES)
It is possible to turn the 435ES electronic shutter adjustment off. Once the electronic shutter is off, the shutter
can be adjusted manually. As long as the electronic shutter is turned off, the shutter symbol will blink in the
LCD display as a reminder.
• Change the LCD display to mode 7 until you see the shutter symbol and the current shutter angle.
• Press the SEL button until the word "OFF" flashes in the display.
• Press the SET button to confirm.
• Set the desired shutter angle manually (see below).
Manually Adjusting the Mirror Shutter Angle (435 & 435ES)
Note: Before manually adjusting the shutter of the 435ES, make sure that the electronic adjustment is off.
Manually adjusting the 435ES shutter while the electronic adjustment is on can damage the camera!
Note: Before manually adjusting the shutter, turn the main power switch off and remove the power cable.
Accidentally running the camera while manually adjusting the shutter can cause great damage!
• Remove the lens or lens mount cavity cap.
• Use a finger on the black center area of the shutter assembly to carefully rotate the shutter until the
adjustment screw and the shutter lock are visible (see graphic). Do not touch the mirror shutter itself!
• With a 2 mm hex driver turn the shutter lock (labeled CATCH) counter clockwise towards the LOOSE
position until it stops.
• Now use the 2 mm hex driver to turn the adjustment screw (labeled OPEN/CLOSE). You will see the
shutter blade turn out from under the mirror. Position the blade at one of the labeled default positions.
• Turn the shutter lock with the 2 mm hex driver back towards the LOCK position (clockwise), until the
locking tab snaps into a cut out. If it does not engage into a cut out, reposition the shutter blade slightly by
turning the adjustment screw until the locking tab engages.
