Not For Resale – Free Download at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/joechan/manuals

By means of the mirror lock-up release R*, the swing mirror of the LEICA R7 can be raised before exposure, and the spring diaphragm can be closed to the selected stop.

The mirror lock-up release R is screwed into the special socket underneath the bayonet lock. The described functions can be triggered simply by pressing the release pin.

To release the shutter, press the shutter release button either manually or by cable release. The mirror and automatic diaphragm are reset automatically when the shutter is released, but cannot be reset manually. The mirror lock-up release R must be activated each time you wish to hinge up the mirror.

When the mirror lock-up release is used, the electromagnetic shutter release becomes inoperative. This applies also to the self-timer, shutter release with motorized film transport, and electric cable release.

Attention:

The correct aperture/shutter speed balance must be set manually, before the mirror has been hinged!

To avoid inadvertently releasing the shutter, do not press the depth of field lever at the same time as the mirror lock-up release.
