When sighting, you con therefore keep both eyes open ond hove o cleor view over the surroundings of the subiect os well. Pleose note: with subiects ot obout 31/z feet the limits of the field of view or.e disp.locedOownwoidr or sidewirys (occording to whether _you h.qld the comero horizontolly orupright) os shown by tlie two short i-ines on the reflected imoge frome. Releosing. Alwoys press the releose genf ly; never ierk it, os thot wou ld produce blurred pictures. The ropid winding lever. After every shot pull out the lever os for os it will go (with one full stroke or severql short ones). This tensions the shutler, odvqnces the film counter qnd tronsports the film. An outomotic lock prevents o second operotion of the !ever before you hove mode qn exposure. Similorly, you -cononly releose the shutter ofter working the ropid winding lever.
