Changing The Battery; Flash Shots - Rollei 35 Quick Manual

Substitute readings: If a close-up reading is not
possible, point the camera at a substitute object of
average contrast and under the same lighting. Use
the setting obtained for the exposure.
Against the light: When shooting against the light
open the lens aperture by one step (next lower f/
number).
For colour subjects to be taken on reversal
colour film avoid very great brightness differ-
ences. A close-up reading of the shadow areas
usually leads to excessive exposure for the sunlit
image portions, which then appear too light and
burnt out when you project the slide. An average
brightness reading (as in the normal case) here
again yields pictures which correspond most
closely to the natural colour impression.

Changing the Battery

(9
The cadmium sulphide exposure meter is partic-
ularly compact and powered by a Mallory
battery PX 13.
According to the manufacturer, the durability of
the battery is 18 to 24 months, provided that the
unused camera is kept in the case (i. e.
in the dark). (The voltage drop occurs sudden ly.
Symptom: the exposure meter needle doe not
deflect any more.)
Recommended precautions:
Change battery annually.
Remove battery if the camera is not used over an
extended period.
Always remove and discard exhausted batteries.
At very low temperatures (camera cooled t,
below -10 ° C = + 1 4 ° F) change battery to
type PX 625.
To change the battery, first open the camera
Unscrew the slotted screw cap (1) with a coin
Insert the fresh battery into the camera, so that
the plus sign + remains visible (2). Re place
the screw cap and screw tight with coin.

Flash Shots

The accessory shoe with central flash outlet takes
a flash gun (3).
Flash guns without central contact in the foot
