User manual HARTBLEI KIEV60

[. . . ] The hens is provided with a special multilayer coating the availability of which is indicated in the lens marking by letters MC. The multilayer coating upgrades the image quality, enhances its contrast due to better integral transparency and reduced light dispersion of the lens. Provision is made in the camera for the use of change lenses produced for the Kiev-6C camera. The lenses are bayonet-attached and are fixed in position with a captive nut. [. . . ] At the beginning of cocking the shutter a slight gradient of force applied to the lever may be felt. In cocking the shutter the film is wound through one frame and the next number appears in the frame counter window. Determination of the exposure time is carried out with the shutter being cocked. For determining the exposure time set on the calculator the speed of the film loaded into the camera turning knob 31 until the film speed values in units of GOST and DIN appears in windows 32 and 28. Set on the calculator the lens speed turning scale 29 until the appropriate value coincides with index 30. The lens speed means the number corresponding to the maximum relative aperture. For example, for lens MC Volna-3 2. 8/80 - 2. 8. For determining the "exposure-diaphragm" pair corresponding to the shooting conditions do the following procedures: check fitness of the power source, turning knob 35 until index 34 coincides with position CB / "check battery". If it does not light it is necessary to replace the power source: turn on the exposure meter setting knob 35 into position ON; observing through viewfinder eyepiece 39 sight the camera onto the object of shooting so that its image will arrange in the ranges of the zone of measurement of the viewfinder. In the field of vision of the viewfinder eyepiece you will see one of lighting signals: O - little light or * - much light. Slowly turn ring 26 up to the moment of lighting of the second signal (if signal O is lit - counter-clockwise, if signal * - clockwise). Determination of the exposure time is carried out at simultaneous lighting of signals O and *; choose the "exposure-diaphragm" pair, which is necessary for shooting on the calculator by exposure scale 27 and by diaphragm scale 29; upon determining the exposure time turn out the exposure meter, for this purpose turn knob 30 to position OFF. Note: In the event of the bright light the light should not be permitted, as far as possible, to penetrate into the eyepiece. In this instance eye shades 38 and 23 should be used. Set the chosen "exposure-diaphragm" values on the camera exposure time knob scale and on the lens diaphragm scale. Exposures may be set both with the shutter released and cocked turning knob 16 until the selected number aligns with index 40 on the top cover. Setting of exposures from 1/ 1000 to 1/60 s with the shutter released requires somewhat more effort than when the shutter is cocked. Manual exposure "B" setting should be accomplished by turning the knob clockwise only (between shutter speeds 1/ 1000 s and "B" the ring is locked). Set the diaphragm, turning ring 13 until the selected value aligns with the index on the stationary ring. Focusing for sharp image either by the ground-glass surface, microscreen and wedges or by the distance scale is accomplished, turning the ring with scale 15. Focusing can be carried out only with the shutter cocked, when the mirror is in the working position and the diaphragm is fully open. Depth of field is determined by the distance scale with the aid of additional scale 14. Depth of field can be checked by the image of the objects details on the ground-glass surface in the field of vision of the viewfinder, after pressing lever 20 down to the limit of its travel, then the lens will be diaphragmed to the opening set previously. After the lever is let go, it will automatically return to the initial position and the diaphragm will fully open. Depending on the definite conditions of the picture shooting, view finding can be carried out by the use of the viewfinder hood. To replace the TTL prism viewfinder by the viewfinder hood proceed as follows: turn ring 43 clockwise until it aligns with indexes 42 and 41. [. . . ] CAMERA UPKEEP The camera should be handled with care, kept clean, guarded against jolts, strikes, moisture and abrupt temperature fluctuations. The lens should be closed with the cap and the change viewfinder attachment should be in the case socket. The lens should not be removed from the camera, if not necessary, so as to keep dust off the surface of the optical parts. If the camera is stored without the lens, the aperture in the camera as well as the lens should be closed with caps. [. . . ]
