Mirror Shutter

The open sector of the mirror shutter can be mechanically adjusted while the camera is disconnec- ted. The opening angles are 45° , 90° , 135° , 144° , 172.8° and 180° and are marked on the moveable shutterblade. The selected shutter opening locks into its position. The selected shutter opening angle is also shown on the camera display when depressing the PHASE key in Standby (for longer than 1 sec.). An automatic stop position guarantees an undisturbed view through the viewfinder, once the camera is stopped.

If the film gate needs to be checked through the lens port, release PHASE pushbotton quickly after activating it in Standby. The mirror shutter will then remain in the open position for the gate check. Once the check is completed, press the Phase pushbutton briefly, and the shutter will return to its viewing position.

Manual Inching Knob

To turn the mirror shutter and movement manually, press the manual inching knob and turn this in the direction of the arrow on the side of the camera.
