1. Set the COUNTER DIAL (B) at figure "O", turning the dial in either direction with thumb and forefinger, the WINDING KNOB being kept unmoved.
2. The Camera is now ready to take pictures.

CONTROLLING SHUTTER SPEED

The speed of shutter (focal plane) is controlled by two dials;

Rapid Dial (E) and Slow Dial (F).

The RAPID DIAL (E) controls shutter speed from 1/25 to 1/500 second and B, or Bulb exposure. To operate it, lift the dial and turn it to bring the desired speed indication at the arrow marked on the camera body.

CAUTION: When the RAPID DIAL is used, be sure that the SLOW DIAL is set at "25".

Do not interfere the rotation of Dial with finger, while pressing the RELEASE BUTTON.

The SLOW DIAL (F) controls shutter speed from 1 to 18 second and T, or Time exposure. To operate it, set the RAPID DIAL (E) at "25", and then turn the SLOW DIAL, bringing the desired speed indication at the line marked on the base.

CAUTION: Unless the RAPID DIAL is set at "25", the SLOW DIAL will not operate. When the SLOW DIAL is set at "T", the Shutter Release Button will act only for opening the shutter. To close it, turn the Dial a little. It must be remembered that both the RAPID DIAL and SLOW DIAL should always be set after winding up the focal plane shutter, which is done automatically as you turn the Winding Knob (A).

FIXING LENS STOP

Iris Stop, or "f" Stop, is operated by turning the IRIS STOP RING (O). The desired "f" value will be seen on the helicoid body of lens.

CAUTION: Do not force the Ring beyond its limit of movement.

FOCUSING

Minolta-35 is equipped with automatic focusing device, and there is no need of meas-

uring the distance for bringing the subject into focus.

Just look through the FULL-VIEW RANGE, FINDER (Q), and you will find in the center, double image of the subject if it is out of focus. Turn the FOCUSING RING (P) in either direction until the double images join into one. The subject is now on the focus of mechanical precision.

CAUTION: Do not force the FOCUSING RING at either end.

Turning the Eye-piece Ring to the left is adjustable for far-sighted users.

DEPTH OF FIELD GUIDE

The "f" value marked on the washer-ring of lens body is the scale for judging the Depth of Field at each Lens Stop.

Depth of Field is definable as that distance between the nearest place and farthest place at which subject will be sharply defined in pictures. The larger the lens stop the shallower the Depth of Field, and the more critical focusing must be made on the principal subject. For example see diagram:

If the focus range of an objective is found to be 8 feet, and the lens stop is set at 8, the Depth of Field will range from 6 to 12 feet. That is, subject 6 to 12 feet from the camera will be in focus. With a lens stop of 16 the Depth of Field widens and subjects from 5 to 20 feet will be in focus.
