1. GENERAL DIRECTIONS 

  

The FED 50 is a modern miniature camera intended for amateur 
shooting on standard black-and-white and colour perforated film 35 mm 
wide. The camera operates in the automatic and manual control modes. 
In the field of vision of the view finder the information is available on the 
shutter speed and diaphragm processed in the automatic mode. For 
accurate framing of a picture the lighted frame provided with the marks 
for parallax correction is available. The camera is furnished with a self-
reset picture counter. The interlocking of a release button in the 
automatic mode in the event of insufficient lighting as well as the 
interlocking of the shutter cocking (which prevents the repeated or 
incomplete cocking) are envisaged by the design of the camera. 
The automatic system of the camera operates from a photocell which is 
designed for long-term use. The replaceable power supply sources are 
not required. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the present 
instructions before using the camera. The observance of all 
recommendations set forth in the instructions will ensure the reliable 
operation of the camera for many years.
