: Colour me blonde, but how do you operate the rear
: shutter? Both me and the salesman we stymied.
First,you should move the switch on the right side of the camera to
the BACK position,that will makes the rear shutter being fired when
you press the firing button on the right side of the
camera.Second,each time you want to use the rear shutter,you should
turn or CRANK the knob on the upper right side of the
camera.There's 4 different position depending of how many time you
turn the knob.The different position appear as shutter speed in a
small window again on the right side of the camera(a little bit
lower than the knob)The speed are T,1/30,1/60,1/125/,1/250,1/500
and finally 1/1000.So you turn the knob until you obtain the
desired speed in the window.The speeds are by pairs,1/30 coupled
with 1/60,1/125 coupled with 1/250.There's a small lever on the
lower right side of the camera that engage a governor which slow
down or speed up the shutter speed so it gives or 1/30 in the
window or 1/60 from the same # of turn on the knob.Once your
shutter speed is set,you're ready to fired it by pressing that
foring button.If you want to takes an other pictures at the same
setting,you should crank the knob one turn and have that shutter
speed in the window again.Hope all this helpful,Gil.
