Refer to page 38 for instructions on the use of the Fresnel screen. When the pivoted supplementary Focusing Magnifier 15 is also used.

The Penta Prism makes it possible to take vertical pictures with a direct line of vision and also provides a laterally-correct and upright viewfinder image. The image on the ground-glass screen of the Finder Hood 13 can also be observed from below when the camera is held above the head. This will prove very useful when taking pictures over walls or over the heads of crowds.

Users who normally wear spectacles should use their close-up reading glasses for focusing with the Finder Hood. For interchanging the Finder Hood. The Penta Prism serves the same purpose as the Finder Hood, with the exception, that the reflex image on the ground-glass screen will invariably be upright and laterally-correct no matter whether the camera is held horizontally or vertically; this is particularly useful when taking pictures of moving subjects, since the image in the viewfinder will move in the same direction as the subject itself.

With very rapidly-moving subjects the camera can thus be "panned" by swinging it gently in the direction of motion of the subject as for example, with racing cars. When employing the Penta Prism 45 the camera should always be held at eye level. Viewing the reflex image through the eyepiece 46 may be effected with either eye.

The left hand should give additional support, the left index finger being used for releasing the shutter. The reverse handling is possible for horizontal exposures: to prevent camera shake when using the EXAKTA VX , press the back of the camera against the forehead. Photographers who normally wear spectacles. An invaluable accessory for use with the Penta Prism is the flexible eyepiece cup: this is fitted on to the eyepiece 46 of the Penta Prism and shields it from distracting stray light.

It is also helpful for spectacle-wearers since vision-correction lenses made by ones optician can be inserted into the revolving mount, making it possible to focus without wearing glasses. With this screen, focusing is mainly performed using the centrally placed matt ring without the fresnel line structure. To increase the accuracy of focusing, a microprism is centered in this ring. The extra brilliant image visible in this patterned field serves for focusing in the same way as the image on the ground-glass screen, except that with the microprism, incorrect focusing will result in an image which is blurred to a greater degree.

The lens will be correctly focused when the image in the microprism is at its sharpest. It is, however, absolutely essential to focus with a large aperture, as with apertures off 5.

This, of course, will lead to unsatisfactory results. For extreme close-ups of magnifications greater than , and photomicrography, the microprism cannot be used. The Finder Hood 13 must be closed when the Finder Hood insert is being removed from the camera. When any of the viewfinder inserts are being removed from the camera, the viewfinder-retaining catch 7 must be pressed downwards, and the Finder Hood, Penta Prism or Lens Magnifier withdrawn upwards without tilting.

On replacing a viewfinder unit, it must be inserted squarely and vertically, and be pressed downwards until it clicks into position. Never use force. The focusing screen or the Fresnel screen of the viewfinder systems of the EXAKTA VX are interchangeable, so that, if desired, the ground-glass screen, the Fresnel screen, the ground-glass screen with field framing, one of the special focusing screens or the flat ground-glass screen see last page may be used.

When fitting or removing a focusing screen or Fresnel screen from the Finder Hood insert, the Finder Hood 13 must be closed Remove the viewfinder insert as described on page The focusing screen or Fresnel screen should be gripped by the long sides, and withdrawn from the viewfinder.

Never touch the matt surface of any screen. With the Finder Hood insert, the Finder Hood must first be closed. If the frame counter 6 has been correctly set when loading the film, then after the 20th or 36th exposure, the number 36 will appear in the frame-counter window. It may be possible to expose one or two further frames before the film can no longer be transported. Should the rapid-wind lever 8 stop before reaching the end of its forward travel, then depress the rewind-release button 9 , at the same time winding the rapid-wind lever 8 fully.

It should now return to its rest position. When using a take-up spool 32 , the film should now be rewound back into its cassette:. Depress the rewind button 9 and secure the rapid-wind lever 8 with a light pressure in the slot of the rewind button, so that it stays in the rewinding position.

The next time that the rapid-wind lever 8 is wound, the rewind button 9 will spring back into its normal position, and the camera would then again be ready for forward transportation of the film. Hold the camera in the left hand. Swing out the rewind crank, and with the right hand turn it evenly and slowly in a clockwise direction, until it is felt that it turns more easily. The film has now been rewound. If the film is rewound at too great a speed, static electricity will cause discharge marks to appear on the negatives.

If the film is being correctly rewound, the indicator disc 20 will show this by revolving also. Open the camera back. Withdraw the rewind crank 39 by means of its knob, and remove the cassette of exposed film from the camera. Depress the knob on the rewind crank to push it back into the camera. When an empty film cassette is used in place of a take-up spool, rewinding is not necessary. As soon as the end of the film is reached when the rapid-wind lever 8 can no longer be operated, see page 41 , cut off the film on the feed side of the film gate 36 by means of the built-in film-cutting knife 37 :.

Then press the knob 38 , returning it to its rest position. Wind on, and expose two blank frames, in ord. The film-cutting knife 37 should also be employed in the manner described above whenever it is desired to remove a take-up spool containing a partially exposed film from the camera.

Outlet FP 22 and F 31 are for the use of flashbulbs. The synchronizing cord of standard and electronic flashguns should be connected to the appropriate socket as indicated in the table. The shutter must always be tensioned before connecting a flashgun. Should a flashbulb fail to fire, e. Do not insert a new bulb until the shutter has been re-tensioned. The effective exposure time, however, is the duration of the flash, and not the t i me that the shutter remains open.

Conned the cable from the flashgun to the FP contact 22 and select the shutter speed according to the table. With full synchronization, this will be the effective exposure time.

The effective exposure time will be determined by the duration of the flash, and not by the shutter speed. Always keep the camera in its ever-ready case with the lens or lens cap and viewfinder unit in position; alternatively it may be kept wrapped in a fluff-free cloth. All parts which are easily accessible from the outside should be kept clean and dusted with a soft brush. This applies particularly to the film-guide runners 35 , the film-wind sprocket 34 , the film chambers 33 and 41 and also the camera back 42 including the pressure plate The reflex mirror should only be dusted when absolutely necessary, using a clean soft brush without applying any pressure; do not allow the brush to touch the lightly-greased metal surround of the mirror.

Protect the camera against moisture, dust, wind-borne sand, etc. Under no circumstances allow the camera to be pointed at the sun unless the lens Is covered by a lens cap!

Never touch the glass surfaces of the lenses. These glass surfaces should be cleaned when necessary only with an extremely soft piece of wash-leather or a soft, fluff-free linen cloth. It is highly inadvisable to attempt to interfere with the mechanism of the camera; repairs should be undertaken only by authorized servicing agencies.

Reading off the depth of field When the depth of field is great, objects at widely varying distances from the camera will form a sharp image. Focusing for infra-red pictures When using infra-red film, first focus the reflex image normally, then note the distance indicated by the red setting mark either in feet or meters, or the infinity symbol , and turn the focusing ring to set this distance against the red dot infra-red setting mark which is either to the right or the left of the normal setting mark.

When taking vertical pictures with the Finder Hood it is possible to shoot at right angles.
