triangular mark) on the crank or knob is usually opposite the red triangle on the camera
body. (5) To change the knob or crank, put the camera in the ready position and push the
locking device on the knob or crank away from the camera body. On the newer cranks, press
the center button while turning the knob or crank counterclockwise. (6) Attach the knob or
crank by pressing it against the camera body with its engraved circle (or the small triangular
mark) opposite the triangular index on the camera body. (7) Turn it clockwise, and it will lock
into position as soon as the red dot and the triangle match.
Bottom Plate and Tripod Socket
Although the newer camera models have a more solid and more professional-looking bottom
plate, the tripod coupling plate design has been maintained, and all camera models including
the H models can be used with the tripod coupling. The latest models come with two spirit
levels for vertical or horizontal alignment of H cameras or V cameras with a 6
4.5 mm fi lm
magazine.
