Focusing and Locking the Focusing Knob

Focusing

Locking the Focusing Knob

During exposures, the Dark Slide can be stored in the Dark Slide Slot in the back of the holder.

The Memo Clip on the back cover can be used for holding the film box-top as a film reminder or for holding a piece of paper with pertinent data.

Depressing the Cocking Lever sets the mirror, projecting a bright image on the fo- cusing screen. Focus by rotating either Fo- cusing Knobs until the image appears sharp.

Please use the large inner knob for fine focusing.

After adjusting the focus, focus shift can be prevented by locking the Focusing Knob with the Focusing Knob Lock Lever, which is located behind the left hand Focusing Knob. Simply raise the lever and push it forward, clamping the Focusing Knob in place.

Refocusing

If the focusing knob is moved accidentally while it was not locked the image may be out of focus. Also, be careful that you do not touch the focusing knob at the down stroke of the film transport lever.
