TIME EXPOSURE, LOCKING AND
CHARGING LEVER (Fig. 52)
The lever (16) is used for time exposure (T),
locking and battery recharging (L).
О = Normal setting.
T = Setting for time exposures and for self-
timer operation.
In time exposures, the lens should be set at B
and the mode selector at O, S, or RS. The
camera shutter is mechanically opened when
the lever is shifted from O to T. The shutter
can then remain open without any drain on
the batteries. The shutter closes when the le-
ver is returned to the O setting. The film is ad-
vanced and the shutter cocked automatically.
L = Shutter release is blocked to prevent in-
advertent triggering during battery charging
(see p. 27).
Double exposure
Proceed as follows when multiple exposures
are desired on the same frame:
Press the shutter release and keep it de-
pressed. Move the time exposure, locking and
charging lever (16) to the L setting. Insert the
magazine slide and remove the magazine. Re-
turn the lever (16) to the O setting. Replace
the magazine. Make an exposure in the nor-
mal way. Repeat this cycle if additional expo-
sures are desired on the same frame.
Side socket for camera release and
battery charging
The camera's side socket for camera release
and battery charging (17) is a standard 5-pole
DIN socket. It is used for shutter triggering by
means of release cords (SK, LK, and DK),
radio control, or an intervalometer, as well as
for recharging the camera's batteries. It has a
protective cover.
