Removing exposed film
(1)
Before attempting to rewind a film put the cap, supplied with your camera, back on the lens. This is simply a
precautionary measure to prevent any portion of the last frame being exposed to light, since the Rewind Release
has the effect of firing the shutter even if, as sometimes happens, the Transport Lever is only partly wound
when the end of the film has been reached.
(2)
Releasing the film for rewinding. The Zenith TTL has a locking device which permits rewinding without
constant application of pressure.
To engage it first press the Shutter Release Button
(3)
then turn the Rewind Release Ring
(4)
fully anti-
clockwise. Make sure the Ring is turned until no further movement is possible and you'll then be able to rewind
the whole film quite freely.
(3)
Rewinding. To rewind the film it is necessary to lift the crank handle out of its recess and into the position
as indicated below. The Rewind Knob
(18)
should be gripped firmly by the crank and rotated in a clockwise
direction (as indicated by the engraved arrow). While resistance is felt you are rewinding the film back into the
cassette (the knob will turn freely without resistance when the film has been fully rewound).

Having rewound the film, remove the camera from its case, raise the Back Catch
(16)
and swing the Camera
Back
(27)
open. Pull the Rewind Knob
(18)
upwards fully and take the cassette of exposed film out of its
Chamber
(22).
Your film is now ready for processing.
(5)
The camera can now be reloaded (after observing precautions on p.3). If you don't want to reload till a later
date return the Rewind Knob to its 'closed position.
Taking flash pictures
When the light is poor some form of auxiliary lighting will be required. This is why your Zenith has a built- in
synchronizer which enables you to use an electronic flashgun. This can be one of the simpler battery powered,
medium-range guns like the Helios 32 (detailed on p.44) or the more advanced type which can be powered by
mains supply or batteries and often have a built-in minicomputer which automatically regulates the duration of
the flash according to the subject distance. We recommend you to consult your Zenith camera dealer for advice
on the best type of gun to suit your needs -- here we can only give guidance on the procedure and technique of
flash photography.
1.
The Shutter Speed Dial (1) must be set at 1/30th second when using
electronic flash.
•
The shutter will not synchronize correctly (i.e. will not open at the
time the flash is at its brightest) if the wrong setting or any other
shutter speed is used.
