Viewing and focusing

  

Look into viewfinder to compose your picture and focus the lens. Rotate Focusing Ring (K) until the double 
image in the rangefinder (center of viewfinder), has merged to a single image (Fig. 11). . . your subject will now 
be in sharp focus.  

 

When composing your picture, keep your subject within the bright-frame outline of the viewfinder.. When you 
shoot a close-up, keep your subject within the inner bright-frame so that your subject may not be cropped. To 
take the picture, hold the camera either vertically or horizontally as steady as you can and press Shutter Release 
Button (B) slowly and smoothly all the way down.  

Flash pictures

  

Your camera has synchronization designed to permit flash pictures with flash bulbs and also electronic flash. 
You may use a flash gun or electronic flash.  

The flash gun attaches to the Direct-Contact Accessory Shoe (A) of your camera. If your flash unit has no direct 
contact, the flash connecting cord of the flash gun should be attached to Flash synchronization Socket (R) of 
your camera.  

For No. 5, 5B, 25, 25B, M5, M5B, M2, M2B, AG1, AG1B Flash bulbs shutter speeds from 1/30 through 1/125
