CABLE RELEASE

The use of a cable release to trip the shutter will prevent camera shake in close-up shots and long exposures.

Use a standard "screw-on" type cable release. Unscrew the ring around the Shutter Release Button and set the cable release securely over the Shutter Release Button. Consult your dealer for the proper type of cable release.

LENS OPENING

The lens opening or aperture forms one factor for controlling the intensity of light transmitted through the lens and reaching the film plane. Your Yashica camera features an ultra-sharp Yashinon lens with aperture settings of f/3.5, 4 5.6, 8, 11, 16 and 22. The maximum aperture is f/3.5, while the minimum is f/22.

To adjust the lens opening, rotate the Aperture Control Wheel with your thumb and set the desired setting in the Shutter Speed/Lens Aperture Indicator Window. The lens opening can be set at any in-between settings, as required.

SHUTTER SPEED

The shutter speed controls the length of exposure of the photosensitive emulsion of the film to light.

Your Yashica camera is equipped with a precision engineered Copal Shutter with speed settings of 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1 /125, 1/250 and 1/500 sec.. and B.

The B setting is for exposures longer than one second. At this setting, the shutter remains open as long as the Shutter Release Button is kept depressed.

At 1/15 sec. or slower speeds. mount your camera on a tripod and use a cable release to trip the shutter in to prevent camera shake.
