OPENING AND CLOSING SV45 CAMERAS
Please follow these instructions to avoid damaging the bellows.
The procedure is easier if the camera is placed on a tripod.
To open:
1) Lock rear shift/swing locking lever (18).
2) Squeeze camera and release latch (38) from pin.
3) Pull up rear standard (30) until vertical. Rear base tilts knobs (33) should enter
notches in rear base tilts arms (35). Tighten rear base tilts knobs (33).
4) Pull up front standard (3) with front rise/fall knobs (42) until it reaches maximum rise.
5) Lower front standard (3) until point on right front rise/fall arm (41) and
point on right of front standard are aligned (rise/fall zero position).
6) Tighten front rise/fall knobs (42). Front base tilts knobs (44) should enter
notches in front base arms (45). Tighten front base tilts knobs (44).
To close:
1) Ensure that all movements are returned to zero position, and front center
tilts knobs (43) are tightened.
2) Loosen front base tilts knobs (44), then front rise/fall knobs (42).
3) Pull front standard (3) up to maximum rise with front rise/fall knobs (42).

bed (14) as it compresses the bellows (39).

tilts arms (45) should rest comfortably between front rise/fall arms (41) and front
rise/fall knobs (42).

Push camera body down into closed position.
