6. Self-Timer, Synchro Socket, Lens Changing
6.1. Self-Timer Operating
The self-timer is used when one wishes to photograph oneself. For this
aim do the following: mount the camera on a tripod, set the shutter and
set the self-timer by turning the self-timer lever downwards as far as it
will go.
Set a required aperture and shutter speed; select an object and focus
the lens.
Press the self-timer release button and take your place in front of the
lens. The shutter operates in no less than 9 seconds after pressing the
button.
The ZORKI-4K camera allows to use flash lamps when taking
picture with the help of the self-timer.
6.2. Photographing with Flash Lamps
To take pictures in conditions of poor illumination flash lamps are
used. For this aim plug a tip of a flash lamp connecting cord into the
camera socket.
To use a flash bulb set letter “M” of the synchronization scale
against the dot on the camera plate.
When an electronic flash is to be used, letter “X” should be set
against the index dot of the synchronization scale.
The shutter speed of 1/30 is better to use when photographing with
flash lamps, i. e. when gating is full. Hand-controlled exposure “B” is
not desirable when using flash lamps, since a considerable amount of
stray light gets into the camera and may result in a blurred image.
Note.
When photographing without flash lamps, the synchronization scale position may be free.
6.3. Lens Changing
The Z0RKI-4K accepts all the interchangeable lenses intended for
ZORKI type of cameras.
To change a lens set the shortest distance by the distance scale and
screw the lens out of the camera by turning it counter-clockwise.
When screwing in an interchangeable lens, be sure to set it at the
shortest distance as well.
To take pictures with interchangeble lenses viewing should be
performed with the help of a universal or individual viewfinder
which should be set in the camera attachment groove.
Interchangeable lenses are focused in the same way as the main
(standard) one.
The Picture is taken
with a 135 mm lens.
