Infrared Photography

RZ lenses need no focusing mount be- cause of the bellows feature. Normally, lenses with focusing mounts have a second- ary index for infrared film. Therefore, if you want to do critical infrared photography, you should focus as usual and before exposures move the focus slightly towards the camera body, as per table below. There is a millimeter scale on top of the focus scale.

1.Set the R-M Lever to 'M' (multiple exposure). The lever can be 100

moved to 'M' either before or after releasing the shutter.

2.Press the Cocking Lever as far as it will go in order to cock the shutter and set the mirror. The film will not advance at this time. The shutter can now be released, creating a double exposure. This procedure can be repeated as often as desired to create as many exposures as necessary.

When photographing the same subject two or more times though, exposure compensation is necessary. The same is true with different subjects that are all evenly illuminated. With subjects of different brightness, the darker one is normally photographed first. However, it is not within the scope of this operating manual to teach multiple exposure technique, as many excellent books dealing with this

subject are already available.

CAUTION

Unlike the "R" lever, the "M" lever does not return automatically to its normal position. Therefore you must do it manually. If you forget, the film is not transported and not only are subsequent exposures wasted, but the planned multiple exposure also.
