							Setting the Distonceon fhe Y|TO CLR
You will see the focusing oreo of ihecoupled rongefinder in the form of obright circle in the centre of the view-finder. The outlines of the subiect inthe focusing oreo ore duplicoted oslong os the setting is not correct (seeiop illustrotion).
Turn the lens mount(5) uniil the doubleoutlines merge into one in the focus-ing oreo (see lower illustrotion). Thecomero is now sei of the correctdistqnce.
You moy, of course, sel fhe distonceon the distonce scole or with fhe helpof the red symbols.

Aperture and Depth of Field
The depth of field zone de,pends on the operture setting ond covers ihoi pqrt
of the subiect oreo which, from froni to bock, is reproduced on the film with
odequote shorpness. Noie thot:
lorge opertures (e. g. ft2.8) - yield limited depth of field,
small opertures (e. g. il16) - yield grealer depth of field.
Reoding the depth of field: qfter hoving set ihe distonce, hold the comero
so thoiyou con reod the operture morks on the depth of field scole (6) os
well os ih ditton.e scole (5) ot the some time. The depth of field extends
from the distonce figure obove the left hond operiure number on the right
of the A mork.
Beor in mind the depth of field when odiusting the operture to motch o pre-
selected shutter speed. lf your subiect colls for o greoter depth of field zone
thqn con be obtoined of the correct operture setting, you moy hove to presel
o longer exposure time in order to orrive ot o smoller operture.

							Mounting the flosh gun
Light weight ond smoll flosh guns, such os the Voigtlcinder Flosh Gun, con be insertedin the occessory shoe provided for this purpose. Lorger flosh guns or lomp holde,rs offlosh guns (electronic flosh guns) con be mounted on the side of the cqmero with ospeciol brocket. The electric connection between flosh gun ond comero is effected bythe flosh coble which is plugged into the flosh socket (14).
Speed ond operture for flqsh shots
The fostest speed for flosh guns with type MX-l/PF-l or AG-l bulbs is 1/so second. Inihe cose of electronic flosh guns, speeds of up to 1/roo second con be used.
As for os the operture setting is concerned, you will find detoils on the pocking moteriolor printed literoture of ihe flosh bulbs or electronic flosh guns in the form of so colledguide numbers. The operture setting is obtoined by dividing the relevont guidenumber by the distonce in feet between the subiect ond the flosh gun. T h u s : oper-ture : guide number : distonce.

							Cfose-ups with the VITO CLR Proximeter
DO not miss this foscinoting ond interesiing field. You enter on eniirely new
world, o microcosm of smoll obiects ond onimols.
Whether you ore interested in flowers, fish or insect life, coins, smoll obiets
dqrt or postoge sfomps, you ore oble to record it oll iust os you see it with
the Voistldnder PROXIMETER.
The speciol odvontoge of this ideol focusing unil is thot it mokes possible
monuolly held close-ups down to o distonce of l0 inches from the subiect.
The comerq is reody to shoot of ony time, on importont foctor in the cose of
moving or live obiects. At the some time the proximeter compensotes for the
finder porollox.
The Voigtlcinder PROXIMETER system uses two supplementory lenses. One
is o positive meniscus which fiis in front of the comero lens, the other is. o
spheiicol-prismotic lens unit which fits over fhe rongefinder ond deflects the
two meosuring roys. This couples the rongefinder ond the lens for the close
ronge os occurotely os over the normol focusing ronge from 3t/z feet to oo

							lnstructions for use of focqr lenses
t Focusing: opprooch the subiect with the comero, preferobly on tripod, until you seeit in the viewfinde,r in the desired size. Then, occording to the distonce (see toble,columns ll to lV), fit the oppropriote Focor lens or both lenses (l in front of 2) overthe comero lens mounf.Meosure the exoct distonce between the centre of the lens ond the centre of thesubiect ond set the lens to the oppropriote distonce shown in column I of the toblecorresponding to columns ll to lV.
oAperlure ond depth of field: io ensure odequote depih of field, set the operturedown to of leost f/5.6 or f/8. When copying documetris, f/l 1 or f/16 is recommended.
o Viewfinder imoge: fit the Proxirect ottochment into lhe occessory shoe of the comeroso thot it is situoted in front of the viewfinder. Then turn the front ond reor scolerings to the exoct distonce between the lens cenire ond subiect. You con now see theviewfinder imoge free from porollox. The slight shodow in the corners, which is dueto the circulor shope of the Proxirect ottochmeni, will of course not oppeor in theoctuol picture.
o Exposure: The Focor lenses do not offect the exposure time. The filters must be plocedin front of lhe Focor lenses, ot the some time ollowing for the increose of exposurefoctor.-15- 
						

							
Photogrophing ogoinsf the Light
This is one of the most beoutiful photogrophic subiects. Inleresting outlinesof lighf on people ond obiects, os well os shqdows proiected to the front,give the picture o depth which it is impossible to ochieve wiih ony otherform of lighting.
When toking these pictures, however, do not omit to use the lens shodewhich cleors the woy to the lens only for those roys which ore required tobuild up the picture, ond eliminotes ony hormful sidelight. The lotier, regord-less of whefher it comes from the sun, the sky, from woler or from onoriificiol source of light, would be lioble to couse slight refleclions or wouldhove the effeci of diminishing shorpness ond controsi.
The lens shode is not only essentiol when photogrophing ogoinst the lighior with ortificiol light, it is equolly useful when toking photogrophs in bodweother to protect the lens ogoinst roin or snow.
