Since efforts are continually made to improve the reliability and performance of
the product, minor changes may be Introduced without special notice.
1. GENERAL DIRECTIONS
The FED 50 is a modern miniature camera intended for amateur
shooting on standard black-and-white and colour perforated film 35 mm
wide. The camera operates in the automatic and manual control modes.
In the field of vision of the view finder the information is available on the
shutter speed and diaphragm processed in the automatic mode. For
accurate framing of a picture the lighted frame provided with the marks
for parallax correction is available. The camera is furnished with a self-
reset picture counter. The interlocking of a release button in the
automatic mode in the event of insufficient lighting as well as the
interlocking of the shutter cocking (which prevents the repeated or
incomplete cocking) are envisaged by the design of the camera.
The automatic system of the camera operates from a photocell which is
designed for long-term use. The replaceable power supply sources are
not required. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the present
instructions before using the camera. The observance of all
recommendations set forth in the instructions will ensure the reliable
operation of the camera for many years.
