As you end the
scene,
turn the meter ring (13)
slowly
in
a clockwise
direction
as
far
as
it
will go
and then stop filming
.
This
will
have
underexposed the last frames of the
scene.
Now
set
the
circular
switch (14) to
"RT"
,
pull
off the
lenshood,
cover
the lens with
your
hand
(or
by pressing the front of the lens
mount
against y'our
body),
and
press the
release button to
run
the film backward for
no more than 5 seconds. When
you
start
filming the next
scene,
slowly
rotate
the
meter ring counter-clockwise until
it
falls
back
into the
red-circle click-stop.
Practice
this procedure
several
times with
an empty
camera
before
attempting with
film
.

black-out
control
When filming from
a
tripod,
the eye may not
be at
the finder
eyepiece
and strong back-
lighting
may
enter.
To
prevent
this turn the
black-out control (10)
clockwise
(facing
the
eyepiece)
as
far
as
it
goes.

Note:
Some
photographers may prefer to
apply
filter factors to the ASA or DIN speed
index
instead
of
using the factor
scale.
This
has the advantage
of
preserving the red-
circle
click position so that one can fade
back in by
"feel,"
without taking the eye
from
the
viewfinder.
To apply the filter factor
to the
film speed
index
divide the factor into
the ASA
number,
using the
nearest
available
value,
or reduce the DIN rating 3 degrees for
each
additional stop required. Example: With
an
ASA 50 (= DIN
18)
film and a 2
x
factor
we would
reset to ASA 25 or DIN 15.
Mounting Iliters
Remove the bayonet-mounted lenshood (1) by
turning counter-clockwise
about
a
half
inch
and
lifting free
.
Unscrew its front section.
LEITZ
or
other
standard
Series VIII (64 mm

)
fi
Iters
drop into the back
section
of the hood
,
and
the front part is replaced.
