Shutter Speed and Aperture

The Shutter Speed Dial The Aperture Ring

Select the shutter speed desired and rotate the Shutter speed Dial until the appropriate fig- ure is aligned with the shutter speed index mark. Usually, the Shutter Speed Dial must be set to a click-stop position. However, it can also beset to an intermediate speed. The nu- merals as they appear on the dial and the shutter speeds they represent are shown in the following table. When the Shutter Speed Dial is set to "B"(bulb), the shutter will remain open as long as pressure is applied to the Shutter Release Button and will close as soon as pressure is released. The AEF mark which appears on the Shutter Speed Dial is the setting for the AE Finder.

When set at this position, the dial locks in place. To unlock it, rotate the dial while de- pressing the Lock Release Button which ap- pears in the center of the dial. The RBL mark on the dial is setting for taking photos using the RB67 lenses. In other positions the shutter release button will not released.

Using RB67 Lenses on RZ PRO II Body As stated before, the camera speed dial must set to RBL and the shutter speed on the lens. In addition you must consider that the flange focal distance on RB lenses is 111 mm and on RZ lenses 104 mm. There- fore with RB lenses the bellows must be moved forward by 7 mm to focus on infinity. The distance scales cannot be used. Shut- ter release is identical to RZ lens operation.

To set the diaphragm to a desired aper- ture, rotate the Aperture Ring until the ap- propriate figure is aligned with the central index line. It is perfectly acceptable to use the Aperture Ring at in-between click-stop settings. When the Shutter Release Button is depressed, the diaphragm will automati- cally stop down to the preselected aperture before the shutter opens for the exposure.
