Rolleifl ex 6008 AF Rolleifl ex 6008 integral2

Congratulations on your new Rolleifl ex 6008. We appreciate your patronage and trust that your new camera will give you outstanding service for many years to come.

Your Rolleifl ex 6008 has been designed for professional use. It is ideally suited for creative use in fashion, people and action photography as well as in architectural and industrial applications.

For the hurried reader, there are introductory brief instructions.

These are followed by a detailed description with pictures of all important aspects of the camera, guiding you step by step from assembling the basic camera modules right up to removing the exposed fi lm.

This in turn is followed by a number of practical tips and additional information on the workings of your camera as well as its major accessories.

A tabular annex gives all important data of our line of interchangeable lenses.

In the case of operating errors – which even an experienced photographer might make in the heat of a shoot or after prolonged non-use of the camera – a trouble-shooting guide will help you locate possible causes and find a way to correct them. All parts numbers in the text and the illustrations stand for one and the same part and can be looked up in the two picture plates.

ROLLEIFLEX 6008 AF/6008 integral2

Please note:

Like any precision instrument, your Rolleifl ex 6008 AF/6008 integral2 deserves careful handling.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

77 8 d e

Charging the battery

Plug the power-supply cable a into the AC terminal b of the charger and connect it to the AC supply. The green LED indicates readiness. All normal AC voltages and frequencies are suitable:

» 100V - 240V AC, 50 Hz - 60 Hz.

The power-supply unit has protective insulation and conforms to the pertinent EU safety regulations. It comes with a 1.25amp slow-blow fuse. Its outputs (battery pins, terminals) are protected against short circuits due to defective batteries or metallic objects. Battery temperature is monitored and limited.

Note:

Be sure to prevent bare metallic objects from entering the battery slot and use the unit exclusively in a dry environment.

a b

Place battery 8 with its contacts onto the pins in the charger slot. Rapid charging will start after about 2 s, and the red LED glows. Cutoff voltage and battery temperature are monitored during charging. At the cutoff voltage, the unit switches to trickle charge. If the battery voltage exceeds the admissible maximum, the red LED will go out and rapid charging is interrupted until the temperature is back to normal.

Trickle charging is in progress when the green and red LEDs are blinking. This makes up for the spontaneous discharge of the battery so that the latter may be left in the charger over prolonged periods.

Ambient temperature: approx. 5°C to 35°C. The overall duration of the charging cycle depends on battery condition. After normal discharge, about one hour or less is suffi cient.

CHARGING FROM CAR BATTERY

D+2000 d e

Note:

If you wish to resume rapid charging after trickle charge has started, briefly lift the battery off the contacts and replace it: The one-hour timer starts, and rapid charging is resumed.

If the battery is very hot – red LED off with battery in place –, rapid charging can be started only after it has cooled down.

Charging from car battery

Connect the car's lighter socket to the low-voltage terminal d of the charger. Normal charging from a 12V car battery will take about 14 hours. The two LEDs will remain off.

Additional power supply

An external device running on 12 VDC with a maximum of 500 mA can be connected to the 3.5 mm jack e of the charger. The green LED signals readiness. The maximum admissible length of the connecting cable is 2 m.

BATTERY STATUS

6008 AF Battery 100 in-charge T 1250A driving Inlet or Damping 77

Battery status

With the camera switched on, battery status is monitored automatically.

The following display appears:

» for full or sufficient capacity 📋, » for partial discharge 📋,

» blinking ▶ for very low capacity (suffi cient only for a few additional shots).

When the display reads "CHArGE", the camera will switch off. If possible, keep a fully charged spare battery ready.

It is advisable to recharge the battery as soon as the icon ▶ starts blinking, above all at low temperatures. Use of the external battery connector – which allows the battery to be carried close to your body – also is very helpful at low ambient temperatures.

CHANGING BATTERIES

Battery I/O ncorpgable T1.25A label acting Made in Germany 77

Note:

To avoid premature discharging of the battery, be sure to reset master switch 1 to "off" after using the camera.

For technical reasons, Nicad batteries will slowly discharge even if they are not used. To ensure instant readiness of your camera, be sure to recharge the battery every two to three months.

Changing batteries

Push tab 77 up and remove discharged battery 8. Insert the recharged battery with its tab pointing down into the battery slot. Firmly press down the tab until it engages.

Note:

Always switch your camera off before changing batteries to keep exposure settings in memory.

CHANGING FUSES

39388

Changing fuses

Remove battery and pull fuse 9 out of its holder. The open slide 39 exposes the spare fuse 38. Press this down into the holder so that it clicks into place. Close slide 39.

Suitable fuses – 1.25amp/250V, slow-blow – are commercially available.

To avoid damage to the camera, never use fuses of higher rating!

Should the spare fuse blow too, try to locate the cause (e.g. fi Im-loading error, especially film running off the spool; film torn at low temperature or come off paper leader.) If the trouble cannot be located, please contact Rollei Service.

21 2266 23

Attaching the handgrip

To avoid unintentional shutter tripping when attaching the grip, set the master switch to "off". Turn shutter-speed dial 23 to <> and hold it in this position. Insert holding pin 66 of grip 21 fully into the opening in the shutter-speed dial. Let go of the dial so that it resets from its <> position.

The grip is now fixed to the camera. To remove the grip, proceed in the reverse order.

CHANGING THE GRIP POSITION

Adjusting the wrist strap

Loosen the strip on the buckle and adjust it so that the camera can be held safely with only your right hand.

To remove the strap, press the two lock pins of the strap holder with a pointed object (e.g. a ball pen) and withdraw the holders from the guide slots. To attach the strap, proceed in the reverse order.

LOADING AND CHANGING FILM INSERTS

57 59 555828

Loading and changing fi lm inserts

Pull the grip of the magazine's laminar drawslide 49 all the way in the direction of the arrow "magazine change/remove insert". Press release buttons 34 and 48, swing the magazine back down and remove fi lm insert 57. The recesses in the back make removal very easy. If necessary, briefl y press the empty spool with one fi nger to loosen the insert.

Pull red tab 55 outwards, insert the film spool according to icon 58 (black side of paper facing inside) and engage the tab. Thread the fi lm leader straight into empty spool 28 and use advance fl ange 59 to wind it up tight until the arrow on the paper backing is properly aligned with index 29. Slip the film-box tab into memo holder 56 (on side of fi lm spool).

56 29

The camera comes with a fi lm insert inside. Unless you use interchangeable magazines, which are even more practical, it is advisable to keep several fi lm inserts ready for prolonged shoots. The inserts can be preloaded and are easy to carry. The same type of insert can be used for size 120 and 220 roll fi lm (not the same type of magazine, though!).

The empty fi lm spool from the last roll need not be changed – it will accept the leader of the new fi lm without repositioning. This is a special benefit of the symmetrical insert that fits the film-advance system even when it is turned through 180°. If the new fi lm is of different speed or type, also change the fi lm tab in the memo holder, and reset the fi lm speed on dial 37.

LOADING FILM INSERTS

57 35 29 c

Note:

At subzero temperatures it is not advisable to preload the fi lm inserts. Instead, it is preferable to load the fi lm directly from its box and advance it to frame 1. Due to the cold, the glue holding the fi lm on the paper leader will get brittle and might give rise to fi lm-advance problems.

Loading fi lm inserts

Open the magazine back as described before and load the insert so that the fi lm spool coincides with the icon I—, the empty spool with I—. Do not try to insert the fi lm edges beneath the spring clips c. Simply leave them on top. As the fi lm is wound on automatically, it will pass below the clips on its own.

Close the back until it engages and pull the grip fully down to cancel the release lock. Set the master switch to "S" and briefly press shutter release 20 or 24: The fi lm will automatically advance to the fi rst frame, and the frame counter 51 will read "1". Should this not be the case – which does happen from time to time with certain makes of fi lm –, press the shutter release once more.

REMOVING THE FILM

57 34 35 48

Removing the fi lm

After the last frame, wait for the fi lm advance and wind-up to finish and "End" to appear in the display. Then close the laminar drawslide (grip in direction of arrow "magazine change/remove insert"). Open the magazine back, remove the insert and take out the fi lm. If necessary, replace the fi lm insert and close the back until it engages. It is advisable to remove the magazine from the camera before removing the fi lm. (See paragraph "Removing/changing magazines".)

Note:

Before opening the magazine back 35, pull grip 49 fully in the direction of the arrow "magazine change/remove insert", or the drawslide may be damaged!

Close-up of a DSLR camera with adjustment knobs and a dial indicator (no readable text or symbols)

Setting the fi lm speed

Engage dial 37 in the position for the ISO speed concerned. The dial must be in one of its click stops!

Film speed can be set over a range of ISO 25/15° to 6400/39°, which covers practically all the emulsions available in the world.

If the film speed is changed with the camera switched on (!) or if magazines with different ISO settings are attached to the camera, the corresponding ISO value will be displayed for about one second, e.g. 25 – 32 – 40 ... 4000 – 5000 – 6400, preceded by "Sn" (for sensitivity).

REMOVING/CHANGING MAGAZINES

INTERCHANGEABLE MAGAZINES

47 Magellan Magellan 6000

The following four interchangeable magazines may be used:

» 6x6/120 magazine for 12 6x6cm frames on size 120 fi lm.
» 6x6/220 magazine for 24 6x6cm frames on size 220 fi lm.
» Type 4560 ^1 magazine for use in either horizontal or vertical format; "120" position for 16 4.5x6 cm frames on size 120 film, "220" position for 32 4.5x6 cm frames on size 220 fl lm.
» Polaroid magazine for 10 6x6cm frames on instant fi lm.

Important:

When using the type 4560 magazine (or most of the digital backs), it is indispensable that the film stage 53 be removed. The stage remains in place with all the other aforementioned magazines.

Magazine identifi cation

The recess 47 takes commercially available stickers of 12 – 13 mm diameter (and possibly in different colors). These may be used to number the magazines, specify the fl lm type, etc.

As an additional precaution against magazine confusion, the sticker at the frame-counter window has been assigned different colors for the different types of magazine.

Switching the camera on and off

With its master switch 1 set to "off", the camera circuits are dead, and the camera cannot be inadvertently activated by operating one of its controls.

After setting the camera to one of the fi lm-advance modes "S" (single frames), "C" (continuous shooting) or "S±" (bracketing), it can be activated with the aid of the memo button, one of the shutter buttons, the stop-down button or the mirror-lockup button. As long as the camera is inactive, the display will remain blank.

In its default setting (that can be changed with MasterWare), the camera remains active for 40 seconds. The use of any of its controls will extend this period by another 40 seconds. In the multi-spot mode and when the memo button is locked in, the camera will remain active for an additional four minutes.

Single frames

With the master switch set to "S", a single frame will be exposed whenever the shutter release is pressed. For another exposure, first release the button, then press it again.

Continuous shooting

With the master switch set to "C", the camera will expose one frame after another for as long as the shutter release is kept depressed. The maximum shooting speed is about two frames per second (fps) at normal temperature (20°C), with a full battery and at shutter speeds faster than 1/250 s.

BRACKETING

Bracketing

Set the master switch to "S±". The camera will then take a limited number of pictures, automatically applying a certain exposure compensation. For more details about this exposure mode, see "Automatic bracketing" on page 53.

Silent operation (default setting of custom function)

Film advance is quieter, but slower as well. The shooting rate in continuous shooting will then drop to about one frame per second. Should the "silent operation" custom function not be programmed on switch 31, see "Custom functions".

Note:

When using a type 4560 magazine, the quiet-operation custom function is not available.

Limiting the length of continuous bursts

This mode serves to limit the number of frames exposed during continuous shooting. First, apply the limiting function "SF Coun" to switch 31 – see "Custom functions". The function will be activated as soon as switch 31 is turned on.

The default setting is two exposures. This may be varied with the aid of MasterWare. When the maximum number of exposures has been taken, release the shutter button so that it can be pressed again.

The picture series can be interrupted at any time by simply releasing the shutter button. The number of pictures set can then again be exposed in the next following sequence.

FOCUSING

Made in Germany • man • sing ]AF • cont 26

Focusing (6008 AF)

Switch 26 serves to select either single AF, continuous AF or manual focusing.

Focus detection is activated by slight depression of the shutter release. Only upon full depression of one of the two shutter buttons will the camera expose the frame. To avoid unintentional exposure, it is recommended that you first acquaint yourself with the two operating stages of the shutter release before you load a film.

The AF module of the camera normally detects focus with three separate sensors, the central one responding above all to vertical patterns, the two lateral ones to horizontal patterns. For spot autofocus, the two lateral sensors can be disabled using the menu mode (see "Custom functions).

Notes:

To avoid ranging errors, keep stray light away from the focusing screen!

Close-up of a camera lens frame with grid overlay and control buttons (no readable text or symbols)

When shooting from a tripod without using the viewfi nder, for example, the focusing hood should be closed, or a prism fi nder should be used. Swung up, the magnifi er may enhance the effect of stray light like a burning glass.

When a manually focusing lens is attached and the focus-mode switch set to "sing" or "cont" for autofocusing, the camera will respond as if it were set to manual focusing. However, if you wish to use the AF system for focus detection, press the shutter release slightly.

Both autofocusing and manual focusing with the aid of the ranging system will work only with lenses with an effective maximum aperture of at least f/5.6. This should be noted above all when using a teleconverter or close-up accessories.

FOCUSING

Focusing (6008 integral2)

Turn ring 71 to focus image on the screen. The focusing distance can be read off in m or ft against the index 17. Depth of fi eld can be checked against the aperture scales to each side of the distance index 17. For infrared photography read off the focused distance and set it against the red index on the depth-of-fi eld scale. All lenses focus at full aperture.

Close-up of a camera lens or screen with a grid overlay and control buttons (no readable text or symbols)

Single AF (6008 AF)

Make sure that the subject to be focused coincides with a focus area (see illustration) on the ground glass and slightly depress the shutter release. The lens will now be focused automatically, and only the central component of the focus indicator will appear in the display. To repeat focusing, simply release the shutter button and press it once more to its first stage.

If all three components of the focus indicator are blinking, focusing is impossible. In this case, place the focus area on a more contrasty and better textured detail at the same distance and focus on this. If necessary, focus manually.

Single AF is based on focus priority. In other words, the shutter will release only after focusing has been achieved.

Continuous AF (6008 AF)

Contrary to single AF, the autofocus system is here active for as long as the shutter release is held down to its first stage. The lens will refocus should the subject leave the focus position.

This focus mode is based on release priority. The shutter can thus be released at any desired moment, regardless of the focus status. In all other respects, this mode is identical to single AF.

Manual focusing (6008 AF)

To focus, turn ring 71. Check focus status either on the ground glass or with the aid of the focus indicator, placing the focus area (see illustration) on the subject to be focused.

Keep turning ring 71 until only the central part of the focus indicator appears. Arrows indicate in which direction the ring should be turned. (See the table below.)

Close-up of a camera lens system with measurement grid and control buttons (no readable text or symbols)

If all three components of the focus indicator are blinking, focusing with the ranging system is impossible. In this case, place the focus area on a more contrasty and better textured subject detail at the same distance.

Note:

Coarse manual prefocusing is required with lenses of longer than 180mm focal length, since ranging errors are then possible for technical reasons.

SELECTING THE METERING PATTERN

Close-up of a mechanical component with four circular holes and concentric rings (no visible text or symbols)

Center-weighted multi-zone metering

Seven silicon photodiodes located behind the partially transmitting refl ex mirror meter the light through the lens. They are arranged in five groups and in the default setting give a center-weighted multi-zone pattern that normally ensures good results.

Off center, this metering pattern gives greater weight to the bottom parts of the frame than to the top (which in scenic shots will include the sky).

mirror +2 add 0 -4 comp -1 -2 44

To select this mode, set dial 44 to ■. This icon will also appear in the display. To make allowance for special shooting conditions, multi-zone metering without center-weighting can be selected with switch 31 and the custom function "SF Cent" (see "Custom functions"). Center-weighting is then disabled as soon as switch 31 is turned on. The amount of center-weighting can be customized using MasterWare.

SPOT METERING

Spot metering

The central spot-metering sensor (covering <1% of the frame) may be used to meter important subject detail in the case of backlight or high-contrast subjects. Since this detail rarely coincides with the center of the frame, the reading can be locked in by pressing the memo button 27 (see "Memo function", page 48). On the standard focusing screen, the spot focus area is equivalent to the split-image spot. Setting dial 44 to ☐ will switch the camera to spot metering. The mode is also displayed in the viewfi nder.

Multi-spot metering

In this mode, up to fi ve readings – of highlights, shadows or mid-tones – can be taken and locked into memory. The camera's computer will then average these. If necessary, the resulting exposure can be locked in for several shots.

Multi-spot metering is active in the ☐ position of the switch. Separate readings are taken by pressing the memo button 27. With the memo button depressed, "1 Spot" will be displayed for the first reading for about one second. After that, the reading will be displayed as a shutter-speed/aperture combination and put in memory. This may be repeated up to the fifth reading. When five separate readings have been stored, the multi-spot display will blink. With the memo button depressed, the averaged exposure will be displayed as a shutter-speed/aperture combination, while the last reading will appear in the display when the memo button is not pressed.

MULTI-SPOT METERING

Should the aperture or shutter-speed display be blinking while separate readings are taken in the multi-spot mode (see "Exposure metering"), no correction of any kind is required. The camera will correctly process values outside the metering range. If the fi nal result is out of range, it can easily be shifted back by varying the aperture or shutter speed. To delete the multi-spot exposure, simply switch to another exposure mode or briefly switch the camera off and on again.

In both steps, depression of the one or two-step* shutter release will display the average reading that will be used for exposure.

If you wish to keep this value active beyond the actual exposure, lock the memo button during your last spot reading. Otherwise the camera will delete the averaged exposure value.

Note:

Should no separate reading be stored in the multi-spot mode, the camera will respond as in the spot-metering mode.

EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

mirror 44 43

Setting an exposure compensation

Set the desired value using the exposure-compensation switch 43. As long as an interchangeable magazine is attached, "+/-" will be displayed in the viewfinder. See also "Setting the film speed".

Exposure modes and exposure metering

As long as the camera is active, its exposure meter is likewise active.

To select an exposure mode, proceed as follows:

Close-up of a camera lens control panel with no visible text or symbols on the lens body

Shutter-priority AE

Set shutter-speed dial 23 to "A". Release aperture ring 69 by pressing button 70, and select the aperture in one-third increments. "A" will be displayed in the camera beside the shutter speed. If correct exposure is impossible at the aperture selected due to existing lighting conditions, the shutter-speed display will blink, and the light balance will indicate the deviation from correct exposure (over a range of ±1 EV in one-third increments). Should the difference exceed 1 EV, the entire light balance will blink.

APERTURE-PRIORITY AE

69 23 70

Aperture-priority AE

Engage aperture ring 69 on "A" und use shutter-speed dial 23 to select the desired aperture (in one-third increments). "A" will be displayed in the camera beside the aperture. If correct exposure is impossible at the shutter speed selected due to existing lighting conditions, the aperture display will blink, and the light balance will indicate the deviation from correct exposure (over a range of ±1 EV in one-third increments). Should the difference exceed 1 EV, the entire light balance will blink.

Programmed AE

Set both the aperture ring and the shutter-speed dial to "A". "A" will be displayed beside the aperture and the shutter speed. The camera will now automatically select a suitable shutter-speed/aperture combination. In its default setting, the program is high-speed biased to keep the risk of camera shake as small as possible. The basic shutter speed in the default setting is 1/125 s.

PROGRAM CURVE

5.6 500 < > ● Example: ½EV underexposure 5.6 500 < > ● Example: 1EV overexposure 5.6 500 < > ● Example: Correct exposure

Program curve

If correct exposure is impossible at the shutter-speed/aperture combination selected by the camera for the existing lighting conditions, the display will blink, and the light balance will indicate the departure from correct exposure (over a range of ±1 EV in one-third increments). Should the difference exceed 1 EV, the entire light balance will blink.

Note:

The optional MasterWare allows the basic shutter speed for programmed AE to be chosen and varied over a range of 30 s to 1/500 s (for PQ lenses) or 1/1000 s (for PQS lenses) so that it can be fi ne-tuned to suit the work in hand. As a result, there are fourteen additional versions of the program.

Metered manual

Any desired shutter-speed/aperture combination can be selected in this mode. Exposure is balanced with either the aperture or the shutter speed. Correct exposure has been set when the light balance shows only the large center line. Departures from optimum exposure are displayed in 1/3 EV. Should the difference exceed 1 EV, the entire light balance will blink.

Note:

If "88 8888" is displayed in an automatic mode instead of aperture and shutter speed, with the entire light balance blinking, you have exceeded the metering range. In metered manual, the aperture and shutter-speed display will remain visible, and the entire light balance will blink.

Bulb/T

Set shutter-speed dial 23 to "B". "bulb" will appear in the display. In "bulb", the shutter will remain open for as long as the shutter release is kept depressed. Shutter-priority AE is not available in this mode. Should it be selected after all, the display will read "no Auto".

If memo button 27 is also locked, "-t-" will be displayed for T mode. Contrary to "bulb", the shutter will now stay open when the shutter button is released.

To close it, press the shutter release again. It goes without saying that exposure metering is not possible in either of these modes.

DEPTH-OF-FIELD PREVIEW

Depth-of-fi eld preview

To check depth of fi eld on the ground-glass screen, press stop-down button 32. Flip up the viewfinder magnifier for optimum viewing ease.

125 250 500 1000 A B 27

AE lock

In difficult lighting conditions – e.g. in the case of high subject contrast or backlight – take a reading of the most important part of your subject and store the result by pressing or locking memo button 27 until after the exposure.

The exposure value will remain in memory until the memo button is released. In the multi-spot mode, a slight depression of the memo button serves to store separate spot readings. In the display panel 12, the memo mode is marked by square brackets around the light balance.

Note:

With the memo button pressed or locked, the camera will remain active for an additional four minutes.

STRAY-LIGHT COMPENSATION

Stray-light compensation

Stray light entering through the open focusing hood will be taken into account during metering and compensated up to an intensity ratio of approx. 16:1 for stray light and metered light. This compensation is independent of the type of viewfi under used.

When viewing the ground glass through the focusing hood without the magnifi er, be sure to avoid direct exposure of the focusing screen during metering (e.g. light sources, above all fl fluorescent tubes). For time exposures always close the focusing hood.

Note:

Stop-down metering with earlier lenses and open focusing hood frequently exceeds the compensation range. This is why you should take the reading with the magnifi er swung up and your face close to the magnifi er so as to avoid the direct incidence of light on the ground-glass screen.

SHUTTER RELEASE

6008 AF 76 minor

Shutter release

The two release buttons 20 and 24 work in two stages*: The first stage activates autofocusing, the second triggers the exposure.

Using a cable release

Screw a commercial cable release into thread 76 and use it as usual.

RORTEK Start Qollei RC 120 30

Using an optional RC-120 Remote Cable

Plug the cable into terminal 30 and press the "start" button for exposure. The film will automatically be advanced after the exposure.

Note:

Using a cable release or remote cable, automatic focusing is not possible in the continuous-AF (6008 AF) mode (release priority!).

USING THE SELF-TIMER

Close-up of a DSLR camera with dual rotary dials and adjustment knobs (no visible text or symbols)

Using the self-timer

Apply "self-timer" custom function to switch 31 (see "Custom functions") and switch the self-timer on or off with switch 31. Start the self-timer by pressing the shutter release. The timer delay (default 10 s) is displayed in the camera. To stop the self-timer, turn off switch 31.

To ensure exposure without camera shake, the mirror will be locked up 2 s before the actual exposure. This at the same time is a warning of imminent exposure. With the aid of MasterWare, the timer delay can be varied from 1 s to 99 s.

MIRROR LOCKUP

mirror 73

Mirror lockup

Camera shake is a major problem above all with long-focus lenses and in close-up work. A suitable remedy is mirror lockup. To do this, briefly press knob 73 "mirror": The refl ex mirror will swing up; then press the shutter release. The release lag is just a few milliseconds.

If there was no previous AE lock – by locking memo button 27 or multi-spot metering –, the exposure value determined at the instant of mirror lockup will be put in memory.

After mirror lockup, the camera will remain active for an additional four minutes. Be sure not to make any exposure adjustment after mirror lockup because the exposure meter is then inactive. The measured values are put in memory if the camera is switched off via the master switch or if it turns off on its own.

ME SE 45

If no further exposure is desired with mirror lockup: Set multi-exposure knob 45 to "ME" (film advance disengaged) and trigger the camera with its lens capped. The refl ex mirror will swing down again, and no frame will be lost. Then reset knob 45 to "SE".

Note:

In the case of the type 4560 magazine, fi Im advance is engaged or disengaged directly on the magazine. See Operating Instructions of magazine.

AUTOMATIC BRACKETING

off C S±

Automatic bracketing

This mode allows very precise exposure compensation. It is enabled in both automatic and manual modes and, in its default setting, will provide a normally exposed picture plus one overexposed by 2/3 EV and another one underexposed by 2/3 EV.

In addition, there is another bracketing mode with a compensation of ±1/3 EV. See "Variable default settings".

Switch to automatic bracketing by setting the master switch to "S±". Keep the shutter release depressed until the three exposures have been made. To abort the series, simply release the shutter button. The autobracketing series can be shifted with the aid of the exposure-compensation switch 43.

Note:

Should the shutter-speed or aperture range be insufficient for the entire bracketing series, the shutter-speed or aperture display plus the +/- icon will blink to warn you.

BRACKETING FUNCTION

Depending on the exposure function and configuration selected, bracketing will be performed in different ways:

	WithoutTTL flash	TTL flash
Programmed AE Shutter-speed Flash bracketingbracketing
Aperture AE Shutter-speed Flash bracketingbracketing
Shutter-priority AE Aperture Flash bracketingbracketing
Metered manual Shutter-speed Flash bracketingbracketing

Shutter-speed bracketing:

Exposure compensation by means of shutter speed.

With Aperture bracketing:

Exposure compensation by means of aperture.

Flash bracketing:

Exposure compensation by means of flash output.

Note:

Should the working range be exceeded in fl ash bracketing, the icons ^+/- and will blink. See "Flash bracketing".

MasterWare allows the user to set bracketing to two to fi ve exposures with an exposure compensation of up to ±9/3 EV for each of the shots.

MULTIPLE EXPOSURES

ME SE 45

Multiple exposures

Set dial 45 to "ME" (multiple exposures) to disengage the fi Im advance so that several exposures can be superimposed on one and the same frame. A red square on the dial serves as an additional warning that the fi Im advance has been disengaged.

Before the last of a multi-exposure series reset knob 45 to "SE" (Single Exposure) and press to re-engage the fi Im advance for the next-following shot with normal exposure. Between multiple-exposure shots, you may view your subject in the viewfi nder as usual.

Note:

The "ME" setting is inactive if a type 4560 magazine is used. Film advance will be disengaged directly on the magazine – see Operating Instructions of magazine.

MULTIPLE-EXPOSURE

A multiple-exposure alternative is the fi Im-advance custom function ("SF trAn"), see "Custom functions". In this case, the fi Im advance is disengaged electronically, and the refl ex mirror remains locked up after the fi rst exposure. This means, however, that viewfi nder observation and renewed exposure metering as well as focusing are impossible. On the other hand, this form of multiple exposures allows higher shooting rates, and it is adjustable via MasterWare. To terminate multiple exposure, either switch 31 off before the last exposure or press the mirror-lockup button 73 after the last exposure.

Notes:

In the latter case, serial photography is impossible. With the master switch set to "C", the camera responds as if "S" had been set.

For serial photography, MasterWare is required. This allows up to ten successive photographs with a minimal delay of 10 ms between individual exposures.

Important:

Magazines must not be changed during a series of multiple exposures.

FRAME COUNTER

off C S± 32

Frame counter

The frame counter 51 always displays the number of the frame to be exposed next. If "S" is displayed, no film is loaded or the fi lm is not yet wound up. A "red arrow" indicates that the fi lm has been would up but has not reached frame 1; a red area marks the film trailer or a fully wound film.

When the magazine back is opened, the frame counter will reset to zero, displaying "S" (start).

By activating the custom function "Activate frame counter", the frame number can be displayed in 12.

Note:

This reading may differ from that of the magazine frame counter. See "Custom functions".

If a type 4560 magazine is attached, the camera will always display the reading of the frame counter. This will agree with the reading of the magazine frame counter. In addition, the display will show whether the magazine is used for horizontal or vertical format.

VIEWFINDER DISPLAY

Sn 100 SL I dE End CH ArGE

Additional viewfi nder display

The areas of the aperture and shutter-speed display in the viewfi nder are used for additional information as well:

» When the camera is on and the film-speed setting is changed, "Sn" (for sensitivity) will appear in place of the aperture and the corresponding ISO value in that of the shutter speed.
» If the release lock of the magazine is still active (laminar drawslide closed or opened only partially), "SLIde" will be displayed. After the fi Im has been wound up after the last frame, the display will read "End".
» When the battery is empty, the display "CHArGE" will prompt you to recharge it.
» The intensity of the display illumination is automatically adjusted for that of the ambient light (default setting).

» Should the display be found disturbing in certain uses, it can be switched off. To do this, apply "Display" custom function ("SF diSP") to switch 31, then switch off the display by turning on switch 31. The brightness of the display can be adjusted with MasterWare.

ERROR MANAGEMENT

The 6008 AF/6008 integral2 have an up-to-date self-diagnostic and error-management system. This makes it possible to diagnose possible malfunctions and helps correct them.

The following error messages are possible:

» "Error 1": Inadmissible light leak in mirror box, no magazine or lens attached or defective shutter control.
» "Error 2": Malfunctioning of shutter or diaphragm. Should this message appear frequently, check your lens. The display will also appear when no lens is attached.
» "Error 3"*: AF electronics malfunctioning. Check your lens if this display appears frequently.
» "Error 4": Magazine 4560 malfunctioning: No film loaded or film-advance problem.

» "Error 5": Mirror drive malfunctioning. Have your camera checked if this display appears frequently.
» "Error 6"*: Defective AF control. Have your camera checked if this display appears frequently.

Note:

In the case of "Error 3" and "Error 6"*, the camera will respond like a manually focusing camera. The error can usually be corrected by switching the camera off and on. Should the error message reappear there-after, check the component concerned.

"Error 8" and "Error 9" are error messages that may appear when a digital back is used. These malfunctions do not concern the camera, but the digital back.

Flash photography

Your Rolleifl ex 6008 AF/6008 integral2 are X-synchronized at all shutter speeds up to 1/500 s (with PQS lenses up to 1/1000 s). Flash units may be connected either to hot shoe 75 or to flash terminal 74 with its (parallel-connected) standard 3mm socket. The camera offers the following fl ash modes:

» Manual flash control (aperture set as a function of flash distance).
» Dedicated autoflash (TTL flash metering and control) with Rollei SCA-3562 (SCA-356) Dedicated Flash Adapter and suitable dedicated flash units, e.g. by Metz.
» TTL preflash with manually controlled or studio flash units.

54MZ-3 6008 AF Rollel SCA 3562

Note:

Studio fl ash units may have considerably longer response time and fl ash duration than compact or grip-type units. At shutter speeds faster than 1/250 s, the fl ash may be fi red too late and exceed the open time of the shutter. Please check the instructions supplied with your fl ash unit.

Setting leading or trailing fl ash and sync speed

Leading or trailing fl ash can be selected either with the aid of the Variable Defaults (see preceding section) or with MasterWare:

» Selecting "1 Syn": The flash will fire after the shutter has opened, that is at the beginning of exposure.
» Selecting "2 Syn": The flash will fire 3 ms before the shutter closes, that is at the end of exposure.

Due to the use of between-the-lens shutters, flash photography is possible at any shutter speed. At speeds faster than 1/250 s there will be no difference between leading and trailing sync.

Manual flash control without an SCA adapter

Be sure to switch your fl ash unit off before connecting it to the hot-shoe contact or PC terminal. In this case, the camera is unable to detect the fl ash and will therefore respond as if no fl ash were attached. Set the aperture on the lens according to the requirements of the fl ash unit.

Automatic computer fl ashes use their built-in sensor to control fl ash output for an aperture selected on the fl ash unit and manually transferred to the camera. Simpler types of fl ash unit will require the aperture to be varied as a function of fl ash distance (from a table on the unit). For details, see the instructions supplied with your fl ash unit.

Alternatively, the working aperture required can also be found using the pre-fl ash mode available in manual fl ash control. See "Preflash mode".

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Flash photography with Rollei SCA-3562 (or SCA-356) Dedicated Flash Adapter

In conjunction with dedicated fl ash units and the Rollei SCA-3562 (or SCA-356) Dedicated Flash Adapter, you may use the TTL fl ash-metering technique supported by your camera. To do this, connect the switched-off fl ash unit with the adapter to the camera and set it to TTL metering. The fl ash sensor incorporated in your camera will meter the light reflected from the film surface and control fl ash output to suit the film speed and the intensity of ambient lighting. The result is optimum exposure

over a range of ISO 25/15° to 1600/33°.

To ensure proper flash exposure, an SCA-356 Flash Adapter always has to be set to ISO 100/21°.

In the case of insufficient flash output, "Lo" will appear for a few seconds in the shutter-speed display of the camera.

If the flash icon blinks in the viewfinder right after shutter release, the flash is still being charged. As soon as the blinking stops, the flash is ready to fire.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

The SCA-3562 adapter allows the automatic transmission of the following data between camera and flash unit:

» The focal length of AF lenses for automatic control of their zoom reflector. (Note: For technical reasons, the focal length is converted to 35mm equivalents!)*
» Lens aperture and film speed for sensor autofl ash.
» Flash exposure compensation with compatible flash units.
» AF preflash control*

Note:

When using an SCA-356 adapter, you will be unable to check whether the fl ash has fi red with suffi cient output. If the upper film-speed limit for TTL flash metering (ISO 1600/33°) is exceeded, the fl ash icon and the fi lm-speed display will blink as a warning.

*(6008 AF only)

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Autofl ash with SCA adapter in low light

The light is too low whenever a wider fl ash aperture or slower than basic sync speed would be required for correct exposure. If there is suffi cient light, the system will respond as described under "Automatic fi ll fl ash with SCA adapter".

Flash photography with programmed AE

If the light is so low that the fl ash aperture range (see following table) would be exceeded at the basic sync speed of 1/60 s (default), the camera will automatically activate the fl ash to avoid underexposure.

Flash photography with aperture-priority AE

If the ambient light is too low for adequate exposure at the preset aperture and the basic sync speed of 1/60 s, the camera will automatically activate the flash to avoid underexposure.

If in flash photography with aperture-priority AE the f-stop is smaller than in the following table (page 71), the display will blink as a warning.

Note:

Use wide apertures only at long fl ash distances, since proper fl ash exposure might be impeded in view of the different response times of fl ash units.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Flash photography with shutter-priority AE

Select the desired shutter speed. If the light is low (see following table), the camera will at fi rst make full use of the available aperture range. Whatever additional light is then needed for proper exposure will be provided by the fl ash. The aperture range is a function of fi lm speed and starts with the values given below.

ISO	25	50	100	200	400	800	1600
Aperture	f/2.8	f/3.5	f/4.0	f/5.0	f/5.6	f/7.1	f/8

Automatic fill flash with SCA adapter

If there is sufficient light so that no flash is required, the latter will not be triggered, which is evident from the fact that the fl ash icon is inactive. However, if you wish to use flash for fill-in, you may use one of the following two alternatives, provided that your fl ash unit does not allow fl ash exposure compensation. (See also the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your fl ash unit.)

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

mirror +2 add 0 -4 -1 con -3 -2 43

Compensated fill flash

To select this fill-flash mode, set the exposure-compensation switch 43 to a value in the "comp" range. This will reduce the effect of the ambient light by the minus value selected, the flash providing the remaining light required for proper exposure.

Example:

You have set -1. Ambient-light exposure will be reduced by one exposure value. The flash will compensate for the light loss.

This is particularly interesting in shots where the fl ash has a strong effect on background exposure (e.g. in interiors).

Additive fill flash

To activate this fill-flash mode, set the exposure compensation to a value within the "add" range. The exposure compensation has no effect on the ambient light. The flash output is high enough to brighten the subject by the compensation value set.

Example:

You have set +1. The surroundings of your subject will be rendered naturally, with the main subject reproduced lighter by one exposure value.

This fill-flash mode is of particular importance for subjects in which the foreground should be reproduced brighter without the background being affected by the limited flash output (e.g. outdoors).

Automatic fill-flash with fl ash units permitting fl ash-exposure compensation (only with SCA-3562 Adapter)

Your Rolleifl ex 6008 AF/6008 integral2 will automatically detect such a flash unit.

These units permit a variation of the ratio between flash output and ambient light intensity. The exposure-compensation switch 43 affects exclusively the metering system of the camera and thus the ambient-light exposure. Outside the working range the shutter-speed/aperture display will blink in the viewfinder as a warning.

The exposure-compensation switch of the fl ash unit, on the other hand, exclusively affects the fl ash output.

Examples:

If there is suffi cient light and the two exposure-compensation switches are zeroed, a normal shot will be taken without flash. The exposure-compensation switch 43 of the camera allows the exposure to be shifted by the compensation value set. The flash will not be fired as long as the exposure-compensation switch of the flash unit remains set to zero. If you now set the exposure-compensation switch of the flash unit to a positive value, sufficient flash light will be added to expose the frame with the desired compensation.

Setting the compensation switch of the fl ash unit to a negative value makes sense if you wish to underexpose your fl ash shot.

Note:

Minor fl ash-exposure compensation values close to zero may exceed the TTL metering range (fl ash icon and light balance blinking). In this case, choose a larger fl ash-compensation value or use fi lm with a speed of ISO 100/21° to 800/27°. All of the automatic fill-flash techniques cannot be used with interchangeable magazines that do not allow any fi lm-speed setting.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Manual fl ash control

If you have not selected any of the three automatic exposure modes (neither shutter-speed dial nor aperture set to "A"), the exposure will be determined by ambient light and fl ash output independently of each other. Exposure by available light alone may be controlled as described under "Metered manual". In addition, the fl ash output is controlled by TTL metering. Without any attempt at exposure compensation, your subject will in this case be reproduced lighter by 1 EV. To vary the available-light exposure, change either your aperture or shutter-speed setting. In fl ash units without their own exposure compensation, fl ash output can be varied by changing the position of compensation switch 43 that in this case will affect exclusively TTL fl ash metering.

If your flash unit does provide for flash-exposure compensation, vary flash output by means of its own exposure-compensation switch. In this case, the exposure compensation applied by the camera will affect exclusively the ambient light.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Flash bracketing with SCA adapter

In this mode, the exposure compensation applied to a bracketing sequence is attained exclusively by a variation of fl ash output. For details on the use of this mode, see "Bracketing".

To avoid the TTL fl ash-metering range from being exceeded, the fi lm speed and compensation values should be properly matched.

The limit for negative compensation is ISO 1600/33°, the one for positive compensation is ISO 25/15°. The fi lm speed should vary from the limit of the measuring range by at least the amount of the compensation desired.

Note:

In this mode, the exposure range cannot be shifted with the aid of exposure-compensation switch 43. However, the fi ll-fl ash mode will remain intact.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Prefl ash (manual aperture control)

First apply the prefl ash custom function ("SF PrE") to switch 31, then switch this on. See "Custom functions". The preflash mode is based on the spot sensor incorporated in the refl ex mirror. Therefore position the subject to be metered in the center of the focusing screen for optimum exposure.

Pressing the shutter release will set the working aperture and initiate a release cycle without actual exposure or fi Im advance. The light balance displays the exposure value determined. Vary the aperture or the fl ash output and repeat the prefl ash until the light is balanced, that is, until only the large central line is visible.

If the reading is away from correct exposure by no more than 1 EV (light balance should not be blinking!), proper exposure may be determined without renewed metering, by simply varying the f-stop. If the difference exceeds 1 EV, be sure to repeat the reading, since the metering range has been exceeded and subsequent adjustment is impossible. Finally, use switch 31 to terminate the custom-function setting.

To ensure proper metering, be sure to avoid stray light on the focusing screen.

Note:

Contrary to TTL fl ash metering, the pre-fl ash mode is restricted to a fi lm-speed range of ISO 25/15° - 800/27° and is not available in any of the automatic exposure modes. In this case, the display will read "no Auto".

PRACTICAL HINTS

Shooting at low temperature

Below -10^ , it is advisable to separate the battery from the camera and carry it close to your body and thus well-protected until you actually want to shoot. The optional external battery connector is a particularly attractive accessory. In extreme conditions (in polar areas, refrigerators, cold laboratories, etc.) it will also be necessary to protect the camera from extreme temperatures.

Shooting in extreme lighting conditions

The automatic exposure-metering and control systems incorporated in the camera body remain fully operational with all interchangeable viewfinders, filters, extension tubes, reversing adapter and bellows unit. The exposure will always be metered with high precision, directly through the lens. In other words, the viewing angle will be taken into account just as any filter factor. The three metering modes available in the camera optimally cover any lighting situation encountered in photographic practice.

Spot metering

In the case of strong backlight or subjects against a bright or dark background, spot metering allows very precise metering of the main subject. The split-image spot of the standard focusing screen serves as an aid for aiming. Spot metering covers about 1% of the frame and thus provides exposure accuracy that gives you complete control over your images. If the subject detail metered is off center, lock AE and recompose.

Multi-spot metering

Using this mode, you may meter up to fi ve different subject details (highlights or shadows). The camera computer will then average them and put them in memory.

Individual details may be emphasized by taking repeated readings. The mode may be used in any of the available automatic exposure modes. The result can be shifted at will by varying the aperture or shutter speed.

PRACTICAL HINTS

Exposure compensation

This is very helpful above all in conjunction with one of the automatic exposure modes. Compensation values can be set in one-third increments and have click stops. This allows very precise exposure control.

Automatic bracketing

If in spite of all the options mentioned you should still be uncertain as to how obtain optimum exposure, you still have the automatic bracketing mode: A brief series of pictures taken with different exposure compensation. For a special spacing of exposure-compensation steps or plus compensation only, you may combine bracketing with an exposure compensation so that you can combine automatic control with very precise corrective measures.

With manual exposure control, shutter speed is varied for exposure compensation. The default setting is for a variation of exposure by 2/3 EV. Using the Variable Defaults, this can be reduced to 1/3 EV. Further variations are possible with MasterWare.

PRACTICAL HINTS

Substitute reading

A substitute reading, for instance with a gray card (and following the instructions supplied with this) is advisable in very diffi cult lighting conditions. It will give an average for an optimum compromise for the best possible rendition of mid-tones.

Close-up reading

This also is a viable alternative for difficult lighting conditions: Take a close-up reading of your subject and lock AE. Then recompose and take your picture.

Subject contrast

It is a known fact that fi nding proper exposure data is all the more diffi cult, the steeper the gradation of the fi lm and the higher the contrast in the subject.

Excessive contrast can be reduced by using fill flash, softer illumination, a different type of fi lm, compensating development or changing your shooting angle or camera station.

If none of these measures is enough to reduce subject contrast sufficiently, the purpose of your picture will decide over what is more important: highlights, shadows or mid-tones. Multi-spot metering is a viable technique for this type of shooting condition.

Close-up photography

Extension tubes and a bellows attachment take you right into the close-up range. Extension tubes may be used in whatever combination seems adequate. And this also holds for a combination of extension tubes and bellows attachment. In either case, the electronic exposure control of the camera will remain fully operative.

The following close-up accessories are available:

» 9mm extension tube
» 17mm extension tube
» 34mm extension tube
» 67mm extension tube
» Bellows attachment, 67 – 204 mm
» Zoom extension tube, 22 – 68 mm
» Reverse adapter

All extension tubes have a double Rollei bayonet mount and can thus be combined at will. If all four of the tubes are used, a total extension up to 127mm is available.

Close-up of a black optical lens mounted on a metal frame with no visible text or symbols

The zoom extension tube has a precise focusing mount and provides extensions from 22 mm to 68 mm. It thus covers the close-up range seamlessly, without changing individual components, and can be used in conjunction with the reverse adapter. It is suitable for use with any lens with a size VI fi Iter bayonet.

The bellows attachment has a rack-and-pinion drive and a focusing slide. Clamp screws are provided to secure extension settings from 67 to 204 mm. Extensions can be read from a scale. The unit can be mounted on a tripod via a 1/4" screw socket. All metering and exposure modes of the camera are retained even with the bellows attachment in place.

PRACTICAL HINTS

Close-up of two black mechanical components with metallic rings and a coiled cable (no visible text or symbols)

The reverse adapter further enhances the versatility of your Rolleifl ex 6008 AF/integral2 in close-up photography. The adapter allows lenses with a size VI fi Iter bayonet to be reverse-mounted, retaining all metering and exposure modes. It should preferably be used in conjunction with the bellows attachment. In this case, reproduction ratios from 1.8:1 to 3.5:1 can be covered with a reverse-mounted 80mm Planar f/2.8 lens.

A valuable aid for this kind of photography, usually combined with complex illumination technique, is the matte box.

Note (6008 AF):

For technical reasons, the AF module is operative only up to an effective lens speed of f/5.6. Remember that this limit can easily be exceeded when a teleconverter is used or accessories are employed to increase the extension of the lens.

PRACTICAL HINTS

Instant shutter release (Quick Release)

In practice, instant response may be very important for capturing a subject at the decisive moment – for example if the camera is mounted on a tripod for shutter tripping via a light barrier. Since hardly any release lag is admissible in this particular case, light metering and mirror motion are performed in advance.

To select the "Quick-Release" mode (-qr -), lock the mirror up while pressing the memo button. This will prompt the camera to meter the light, put the result in memory and fl ip the mirror up. The exposure will be made approx. 3 – 4 ms after shutter tripping. If a PQS lens is used, the release lag will only be about 2 ms.

If you press the stop-down button while - qr - is displayed, qr Auto will appear in the display. To cancel Auto, press the stop-down button once more. Releasing the shutter in the qr Auto mode will result in quick release with automatic standby for the next shot.

With the aid of MasterWare, release lags from 1 ms to 99 ms can be set in increments of milliseconds. The mode can be canceled by another depression of the stop-down button.

CARE OF YOUR CAMERA

Care of your camera

Your Rolleifl ex 6008 AF/6008 integral2 deserve the same careful treatment as any other precision instrument that is expected to give reliable service over a prolonged period. Here are a few useful hints:

» Never touch the reflex mirror or the upper and bottom faces of the focusing screen with your fingers! Remove dust with a blower brush.
» Never exert any pressure on the auxiliary shutter of the camera!
» If necessary, breathe on lens surfaces and clean them with lens tissue. To avoid an antistatic charge, breathe on the surface and let the humidity evaporate.
» Protect your camera from prolonged exposure to harmful vapors and humidity.

» Store your camera in a cool and dry place. In humid climate, the camera should be kept in an airtight container together with a suitable amount of desiccant. Excessive humidity in tropical and subtropic areas can cause corrosion on metallic parts and fungus growth on glass surfaces.
» Take special care to protect your camera from dust and dirt.

The Rollei Factory Service will be glad to help you with any question you may have regarding your camera or practical photography with it.

COMPATIBILITY

Compatibility with older components

With the exception of SLX and 6002 backs, all interchangeable components can be used on the 6008 AF, although some of them only to a limited extent.

Using the interchangeable type 6006 magazine

When interchangeable magazines for the Rolleifl ex 6006 are used, the ISO speed will not be transferred automatically because these magazines do not allow any fi lm-speed setting.

In this case, your Rolleifl ex 6008 AF will default to ISO 100/21°. Should you use film of different speed, make the necessary correction by means of compensation switch 43. The exposure-compensation icon will not be displayed in this case. Films with speeds from ISO 25/15° to 2500/35° can thus be used according to the following table:

ISO 25	50	100	200	400	800	1600	2500
EV compensation	+2	+1	0		-1	-2	-3	2/8

If necessary, type 6006 magazines can be converted at the Rollei factory.

Please note:

While the back of a Rolleifl ex 6002 or SLX can be attached to the body of the Rolleifl ex 6008 AF/6008 integral2, blur must be expected due to a lack of film flattening.

Magazines of the Rolleifl ex 6008 AF/6008 integral2 or 6008 Integral, on the other hand, should never be attached to a Rolleifl ex 6002 or SLX body, or mechanical damage is unavoidable!

Film inserts of the Rolleifl ex SLX (which may be recognized by interior icons and indices) should not be used because they may jam when they are removed.

COMPATIBILITY

Use of older interchangeable lenses (for SLX, 6002 and 6006)

When using the lenses of the Rolleifl ex SLX, 6002 or 6006 (no PQ lenses), note the following: Since these lenses have not been designed for open-aperture simulation, the working aperture metered will be displayed only when the memory button 27 or the stop-down button 32 is pressed.

Pressing the memo button will also lock in the AE value. This is why the reading should be repeated by renewed depression of the memo or stop-down button after any variation of the shutter speed or aperture. Exposure will in any case be made with the shutter-speed/aperture combination determined when the shutter release is pressed – regardless of whether the memo or stop-down button was pressed. Only exception: If the memo button is locked.

Due to stop-down metering, the aperture range of EV 5 to 19 is smaller than with PQ lenses. With these, shutter-speed and programmed AE as well as multi-spot metering and fill flash are not available. Also, bulb cannot be combined with T.

Due to the lack of aperture simulation, the aperture is not displayed. All other displays are analogous to the display with PQ lenses. If a certain operating mode should not be available with older interchangeable lenses, the display "no Auto" or "----" will appear in the place of the aperture or shutter-speed display.

COMPATIBILITY

Since older lenses can only be used with stop-down metering, the stray-light compensation range for open focusing hood is frequently exceeded. It is therefore advisable to take the reading with the magnifier flipped up, and your eye should be as close to the magnifi er as possible to shield the focusing screen against direct exposure to light.

Important:

The accessories FM1, ME1 and SRC/MRC 120 cannot be used on your Rolleifl ex 6008 AF and 6008 integral2.
