SHUTTER RELEASE OPERATION

For sharp pictures, correct shutter releasing is just as important as steady camera holding. After advancing the film to a fresh frame, the camera is set for shutter release via the button provided at the upper right. When taking the picture, hold the camera steady (as explained previously), relax and depress the button using a steady even pressure to release the camera’s shutter—remember, a quick jab of the finger will cause camera movement and may result in a blurred photograph.

Operation via Cable Release

The shutter-release button can also be operated via a cable release or similar accessory attached via the threaded mount provided. With the cable release, operation is more vibrationfree and often leads to sharper images under critical shooting situations such as photomicrography, time exposure, etc. To attach the cable release (Nikon-mount models AR-2, etc.) to the camera, screw the threaded cable connector onto the mount provided around the button. The shutter is then tripped by depressing the release plunger.
