  • Page 2 4.1. Lens installation and removal Lens installation and removal instructions are detailed in the individual operations manuals for the КIEV-6С, КIEV-60, КIEV 88, ARAX, and PENTAGON SIX cameras. 4.2 Focusing Set the aperture by rotation of the ring 5 (fig.2) until superposition of the selected value with the index on the fixed ring occurs. For full opening of the aperture (during image focusing) turn the ring 4 clockwise (if you look from the camera’s side) up to the stop.
  • Page 3 4.5. Distortion correction When photographing high buildings from ground level, the distance from the lens to the top and bottom of the subject are different. As a result of this, the distortion in this case appears as a convergence of the parallel lines upwards (Fig. 4), and vice versa: when photographing from above downwards, the parallel sides of the building will be converging downwards.
  • Page 4 4.7. Panoramas While using PCS ARSAT 4,5/55 lens you can produce panoramic photographs. For that, make two exposures from one camera angle: first one – with maximum shift of the lens to the right, and a second one – with maximum shift to the left. Combining both images during photocopying will provide you with a single panoramic photograph (Fig.
