Nomenclature and Functions

Body

R-M Lever

For normal operation, lever is aligned with center index mark. "M": For making Multiple Expo-

sures set it to "M". This will dis- engage the film transport when cocking the shutter. Do not for- get to return it to center posi- tion afterwards. This setting is also used to exercise the cam- era without film.

"R": Turning the lever to "R" un- locks and permits rotating the

Revolving Back.

Cocking Lever

In a single operation this lever ad- vances the film, cocks the shutter, and sets the mirror. For proper operation, be sure to push the lever completely down.

Distance Scale

A single scale indicating distance in meters and feet is used for all

lenses.

Focal Length Scale

Curved lines representing most fo- cal lengths appear on this scale. The point at which the appropriate focal length curve intersects the Distance Graduation indicates the distance focused upon by the lens.

Dual Focusing Knob

For regular and fine focusing.

Focusing Screen

The visible field of the focusing screen automatically changes from vertical to horizontal format, or vice-versa, as the revolving back is rotated. The screen it self is also interchangeable.

Release Button Collar

For normal operation the white dot (❑) on the Release But- ton Collar is kept aligned with the white dot on the Collar Stop Lever. Aligning the white dot of the collar with the red dot on the camera body locks the Shutter Release Button. Aligning the collar with the orange dot makes it possible to operate the shutter at approximately 1/400 sec. without batteries in the camera.

Gold Plated Contacts

Interface AE Prism Finder elec- tronically with camera, lens and film holder.

When using an RB67 PD Prism Finder or PD Magnifying Finder on the RZ PROII, be sure to first attach the small plastic cover, which comes packed with the RZ PROII, over the contacts. (See instructions packed with cover).
