Setting the film speed

Click control disk 20 into place on ISO-value of the ins-
erted film. The range of film speed setting is from ISO
25/15° to ISO 6400/39° which covers practically all film
emulsions available on the world market.
If under- or over-exposing is desired, the film speed
must be varied accordingly.

To identify the type of film being used: Tear off the tab
of the film pack and insert into the memo-holder 19

prevent any error.

Focusing

Open the viewfinder hood, fold up the magnifier 2 if
needed. For focusing turn the focusing knob 29.
Measured distance is readable at the "m" index. The
range of depth-of-field can be determined via the stop
numbers on both sides of the distance index 28.
The standard focusing screen 6 offers three different
focusing features: the central split-image wedge, the
microprism ring the Fresnel ground glass screen itself.
For many applications the standard focusing screen
represents the optimum whereas special
photography areas need additional inter-changeable
focusing screens available in the accessories' range.

Selecting the frame

The square grid on the standard focusing screen assists
the vertical and horizontal alignment of the camera. The
lines of the grid are 10 mm apart.
Smaller images in 4.5 x 6 cm vertical or horizontal for-
mat as well as in 4 x 4 cm format can be framed by
using the intersections of the grid lines.
For eye-level viewing, press the frame finder flap 5
totally inwards until it clicks into place – view through
the diopter 14 (Rolleiflex 2.8 FX only).
Alternatively to the standard viewfinder hood two prism
viewfinder with 45° or 90° eyepiece are available as
accessories.
