- Page 2 the camera over the head as well as turning it horizontally at the right angle. Viewfinder lens has f/2.8, i.e. considerably higher than the photographic lens and thus the higher sensitivity to focusing. For taking pictures at eye level the frame viewfinder is used that is more convenient when there is experience in estimating distances by eye and in correct focusing according to distance scale.
- Page 3 To determine image limits the camera should be held at eye level, the object should be observed through the square window in the rear hood keeping the camera at the distance when the window edges coincide with those of the square opening in front frame. In this case the limits of the viewfinder field will be the image limits.
- Page 4 Before shooting it is necessary to cock the shutter rotating the cocking lever fully downward. Shutter is released with smooth pressing the release lever or the knob of the cable release, the camera is provided with the socket for it.

- Page 8 At exposure scale every following value is two times preceding one. The diaphragm is f-numbered in such a manner that the pointer moving to a stop increases of decreases the amount of light for exposure two times. For instance the exposure time is 1/60 second at f/5.6 and if the lens has been stopped down to f/8 in other equivalent conditions the shutter should be set to 1/30 second.

If the object image that is required to get most sharp should be located at the picture edge turn the camera while focusing so that the object image was in the center and prior to the shutter release return the camera to the initial...
