Instructions for use

1.GENERAL NOTES

Purpose and Features

HORIZON-202 is a special camera with a fixed built-in lens intended for taking various panorama pictures: reportings,
landscapes, interiors, sports events, fashion, tourism, architecture, etc., both by the amateur and professional
photographers. It can be used to take various pictures on black- and-white or color films.
Features of the HORIZON-202 camera:
— Shutter cocking lever with lockings against half-and double-cocking and quite small angle of cocking (210°) for the given
frame size makes for fast picture taking and improves camera performance.
— Metallic focal shutter with shutter speeds 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/60, 1/125 and 1/250 s enables to shoot in various conditions
(indoors or outdoors at poor lighting); low temperatures (up to —15°C) practically do not impair shutter operation.
— Rotating lens, when shooting, ensures the necessary image quality all over the frame area due to eliminating of the
inevitable optical distortion which occurs when taking pictures with wide-angle lenses.
— Frame counter, automatically re-setting to the initial position when reloading the film, releases the amateur from setting
the counter to ,,0" manually.
— Optical viewfinder enables to determine the exact limits of the object to be photographed. Correct camera position (strictly
horizontal) is controlled by the level seen in the viewfinder field of view.
— Film rewind crank and shutter disengaging button of stay-put type cut down the time necessary for preparation of the
camera for shooting.
— Back door lock is interlocked with the film rewind crank which makes for simplified and fast film reloading.

Handling Rules

The camera is a precise optical-mechanical instrument. It should be handled carefully, kept clean and protected from jolts,
dust, moisture and sharp temperature fluctuations.
Do not remove the camera from its case the moment it is brought indoors from cold to avoid sweating of its parts, especially
optical ones. Do not touch the surfaces of the optical parts with fingers since it may damage their coatings. Clean the coated
optical surfaces with a clean soft cloth or cotton wool wad slightly moistened with rectified alcohol or ether.
Keep the camera closed in its case. Load and unload the camera indoors or in shade protecting it against direct sun light or
bright artificial illumination. Always wind the shutter as far as it will go. When taking pictures in frosty weather, it is better to
keep the camera under your street- clothes and take it out only for the time of shooting.
