E. Focus frame (range for setting focus). --> See Fig. 17. Fieldof view frame and lightmeter range * This camera is equipped with a view-frame for 28mm, 35mm, 50mm,75mm,90mm, and 135mm lenses. * The view frame changes depending on what lens is used (Fig. 9). Make sure the subject is within the view frame and then take the picture. * The view frame for each lens automatically adjusts parallax (differences in viewing angle) during photography according to the range at which the image is brought into focus. * The lightmeter range for each lens is almost the same as the diagram in Fig. 9 (blue dotted line). Manually switching the view frame * Operating the view-frame switching lever @ allows checks to be made of the different photography ranges for each focal distanceof each lens even without havine the lens attached. * Pressing the view frame switching levei@ inward makes the view frame (Fig. l0) used for 28mm and 90mm focal distances appear.The lever in vertical position displays view frames for 50mm and 75mm (Fig. I l). Move the lever position toward the outside to show view frames for 35mm and l35mm (Fig. 12). Cautionsin regard to the shutter diaphragm S The shutter diaphragm is a prccision-made product. Do not touch it with your fingers and do not allow the tip of the film to touch it or to strike againstit. Never operatethe shutter when the t'ilm tip is on the shutter diaphragm. $Wtren using a blower tb cle-anthe camera, do not apply the air too strongly. This presentsthe possibility of bending or otherwise damaging the shutter diaphragm. Do not use blowers fitted with compressedair tanks. T.Setting film sensitivity (Fig.15) 6. L o a d i ngt he F ilm ( F ig.1 3 ) Use 35mm (size 135) film in this camera.The camera will automatically set film sensitivity (ISO25-5000) if DX code film is loaded. If film without DX code is loaded, set the sensitivity 54 manually.(seeFie. 15) Z Raisethe backlover releaseknob @and turn in the direction of the arrow to open back cover @. * After the covei is opened, return the back cover release knob @ t o i t s o r i g i n a lp o s i t i o n . * Make sure that you do not touch the inside of the camera. * When loading film for the first time, remove the "protective sheet" that is in the camera. 7 Place a new roll of film in the film chamber. Draw out the tip of the fllm. holdine the masazine in place. mark inside the camera. 7 Draw ttre film tio as far it.repILV^tp Close the Back cover firmlv.

Open the rear cover and reload the frlm. Use when setting the sensitivity of film that does not have a DX code or when you want to change to a sensitivity film that is different from the DX code indicated. www.orphancameras.com Z Raise and turn the ISO/Exposure control dial @. set to the sensitivity ofthe film being used and align the film sensitivity indicator with the index. Film sensirivitycan be set in one-third stepsfrom 150-6 to 6400. t l9l W-hen-you want to return to automatic se-ttingfor the loading of DX film set the index on the letters "DX". * If the film that is loaded does not have a DX code and the ISO/ exposurecontrol dial is setto DX, all sensitivitiesfor film loaded will be set to ISO100. * That wilt be held until the film sensitivity is reser. * If the film is set to the sensitivity that you want. the values will be manually set even if DX coded film is used.

S h a rpFo c us( F ig.17) Sharp focusing is performed in the l-_l section at the center of the finder (Fig. l7). There are two methods of focusing. Use the method that is easiestfor the subjecrbeing phorographed. To put picture in focus, place eye aicentei of view finder eyepiece @ and look into finder. @Dual image merging method (Fig.1B) This is the method most commonly used.When taking pictures of people and focusing on the subjects'eyes,look into the finder and move the lens focus rlng until the dual images in l--l (Fig. lg-l) become one (Fig. l8-2). @Verticalmerging method (Fig.19) When taki.ng pictures of the edges of a subject or vertical objects such as buildingsor towers, and the subject is jutting out vertically from the l__.1as shown in Fig. l9- 1, turn the lCnsfoius ring so thit they are togetherin the I las shown in Fig. l9-2. 1 0 .U n l o a d i n gt h e F i l m ( F i s . 2 0 ) Z When the loaded lilrn reaches the end, it is automatically rewound. 7 The rewind will automatically stop when it is complete and the film counter will show "0" blinking. Open the baik cover and remove the film. * Do not remove film in any location that is exposed to direct sunlight. * We recommend that film be developed as soon as possible after it has been exoosed. * Film can be rewound with the tip out. Immediately before the film has completed rewind and after the "1" liehti in the film c o u n t e r .t h e f i l m w i l l s t o p f o r a b o u r o n e s e c o n d w i t h . . - - " displayed (Fig. 2l). Ifyou open the back cover now, the film tip will remain out. Make sure that you don't make a mistake and reuse that film asain. * Film rewinds can be paused temporarily. If the main switch lever is turned while the rewind is in operation,the power will go off and the rewind will stop. Turn the power on again. This is an excellent function to use when taking pictures at places like wedding ceremonies where you don't want the rewind noise heard (you want to pause the rewind). 55 Manual Rewind Gig.22l To rewind the film manually (forced rewind) before the roll is finished.Use the Strap Ring tip to pressthe Manual Rewind Switch @ . f n e f i l m w i l l b e g i nt o r e w i n d . *Bff3icffiottrffiryfi'b 1 2 .Ma n ual exposurephotography(Fi g.26) 11 .Fo cu spr ior it y A E photo g ra p h y(F i g .2 3 ) This is the mode for automatically setting a designatedF stop and changing shutter speed.This is an excellent features for use in photography where you are taking depth of field into consideration becauseol the F stop held at a fixed point.

Change the focus value at this time. l) lf "4" is blinking rapidly, this is a warning that the camerais outside the low luminosity linked range. Turn the focus to a lower value. If the shutter speedis slower than l/2 seconds within the linked range. "4" witl slowly blink. 56 2) When "4000" is blinking rapidly, it is a warning that the camera is outside the highly luminosity linked range. Turn the fbcus rins to a hisher number. * When two link-edshutier speedsare lighted steady on, that indicates that the shutter speed is between the two indications (Fie.25). This is the mode that allows the combination of shutter speedand focus to be set at any level desired. This also makes it easier to intentionallvraiseor louer lhe exposuresetting.

When the range is wide it is a deep defth of field andwhen the^rangeis narrow it is a shallow depth of field. Depth of field has the followins characteristics ( l)The higher the F v:aluethe deeper the depth of field, the lower the F value the shallower the depth of field. (2)At the same F value, the shorter the focirl length of the lens. the deeper.thedepthof field. and likewise. the lonfer - the fbcal length of the lens. the shallower the depth of field. (3)The farther the distance from the subject. the deeperthe depth of field and the shorter the distance from the^subiect.ihe shallower the depth of field. (4)From.the p-ositionat which the subject is in focus, the depth of fleld is shallower to the rear and deeper to the front. * Fig.27 is a test photograph showing-how depth offield works. Depth of Field Checking Therange. for depth of field can be read by the graduations for d.epthof field that are on every lens. The figureslowed on both sides.of the lens range/F index are the depthbf field graduations. The depth of field graduationsare written in relation-io the ranse graduationsso that the depth range can generally be read from t[e distancegraduations. How to read depth of field graduations tFis.28) Say, lbr example, we are taking pictures with a 50mm/F2 lens and range set to 5 meters and F stop set to F8. When we read the ranse graduationslwirhin rhe"8" rangelhat is on both sidesof the indei.y that coffespondsto F8 at this time, the range is about 3.4 meters to about^9.7metersand subjectswithin that range will generally be in clear focus. 1 4 .In fra re dphotography(Fi g.29) An offset in lbcus in infiared photography must be compensated for becausethe positions at which the subie'ctwill be in fbcus under in.frrrred light and under visible light are different. N/ Moye the distance at which the subiect is in focus to the red line (inl'raredline) nexr to lhe index. If the focus results are 5 meters,for example, move the number "5" on the lens distancescaleto the infrared line index oosition. * Infrared photography requires the use of infrared film and filters. For more detailed information, see the instructions that accompany infrared film. * The 90mm/F2.8 KM rnount type M-Hexanon lens has no infiared index becauseof the subject depth of field eraduations. For more detailed information, see the instructiois that come with the 90mm/F2.8 lens. 15. Exposurecompensationphotography lncorrect exposuremay result when you snap the shutter in taking pictures against backlight or extreme difl'erencesin brightnesi between the main subject and the background.At those times, compensatefor exposure.There are two methods of exposure compensation(seeFigs. 30 and 3l). 1) Using the exposurecompensationdial (Fig.30) In both focus priority AE photography and manual exposure photography, the standard values set for exposure compensation are shown in the finder. V Tum exposurecompensationdial @to set the index to the desired exposurevalue. The exposurevalues can be set in stcps of onethird each from -2EV to +2EV. 57 * However, settings for'ISO6 film sensitivity are only from 0 to +2EV and for ISO12 sensitivity settingsfrom -1 to +2EV. V If the exposure compensation dial is set to another value than "0", the +/- indicator inside the finder will light to show that exposureis being compensated. ;t Ordinarily, the exposure composition dial is set to "0". After taking pictures, don't forget to return the exposure compensation dial to "0". * Compensation in focus priority AE photography controls shutter speeo. * When a bright background occupies most of the picture such as when a picture is taken against backlight, under a bright sky or near a window, the people who are subjectswill be underexposed and may appearas dark silhouettes.For pictures such as these, increase the amount of exposure by placing compensation between +1/3 to +2EV. You can also use this feature in taking pictureswhere you want to intentionally increaseexposuresuch as in giving a bright finish to the entire picture or the dark sections of a building with strong contrastsbetween dark and light. J< When you have a dark background such as people posed against a black backdrop or when they are illuminated by a spotlight, the people will be overexposedand appear whitish. For these pictures, set the exposurecompensationto -ll3 to -2EV to reduce exposure.You can use this feature in taking pictures where you want to intentionally decreaseexposuresuch as in giving a dark finish to the entire picture or creating a sccneof the background with sky emphasized. * When it is difficult to determine what the exposure should be, we recommend taking a number of pictures with the exposure quantity changed in one-third steps negative and positive for each one. 2) Using the AE lock (Fig.31) This is the method of exposure compensation used during focus priority AE photography (Fig. 23). Use this when you want to fix exposuresuch as when taking consecutivepictures at fixed exposure of moving subjectsor subjectsagainstbacklight. 58 Z First turn the shutter dial @ to set the exposure mode on'AEL". Then look through the finder, get the main subject inside the focus frame and adiust the focus. Z Pressing the shutter button down halfway makes the camera record the exposure and places it in AE lock state.Now, with the shutter button still pressed halfway down, decide the desired picture composition, then take the picture by gently pushing the shutterbutbn all the way down. * The shutter will now remain at the recorded exposure no matter how the background changes. * The camera stays in AE lock state as long as the shutter button is pressedhalfway down. Releasingthe finger holding the button halfway down clears the AE lock. ;t When consecutivepictures are taken, and the AE lock is preset to a certain subject brightness, pictures can be taken with the same exposurewith no effect from changesin background. * If the alarm for being outside the exposurelinked range is given when an attempt is made to AE-lock the camera, it cannot be AE-locked. * This camera records shutter speed for AE lock mode. When the focus is changed after AE-locking, the exposure quantity will cnange. 1 6 .B u l b p hotography(Fi s.32) Use this mode when taking pictures at shutter speedslonger than 1 second,such as of nighttime scenesor of the nighttime sky. * To prevent the camera from shaking, mount it on a tripod or on some other stable stand and use a commercially availablecable release. V Turn shutter dial @ and set the exposure mode to "B". Set the F value, focus and take the picture. The shutter will be open and the film exoosedas lons as the shutter button is held down. * When the shutter dial iJ locked, press and hold the shutter dial unlock button @ and turn the shutter dial. www.orphancameras.com - . * - , " ' . * . i . ..:, , G a b l er e l e a s e( F i g . 3 3 ) Use a commercially availablecable releaseby plugging it into cable releasesocket@. * When using a cable release,the AE lighrmeter cannot be used in tle halfway-pressedshutterstate. pie-press -then the shutterbutton halfway down, check the exposure and operate the cable retease. 17.Self-timerMode (Fig.341 For best resultl. gle a tripod.
