Mirror-up Operation
Time Exposures
1.
To make a time exposure,
first
slide the T
Lever of the lens until the letter
"T"
is exposed.
After doing so, the shutter will remain open
upon depressing the Shutter Release Button.
At this time, the setting of the Shutter Speed
Dial on the camera body is inconsequential.
2. To close the shutter, slide the T Lever in the
opposite direction, exposing the letter ‘N’ (nor-
mal). During time exposures, do not touch the
Cocking Lever until the shutter closes.
Since the shutter operates mechanically, not
electronically,
during
a time exposure, there is
virtually no expenditure of battery power, and
the length of time the shutter remains open is
insignificant.
With the RZ 67, it is possible to lock the
mirror
in
the up position beforehand, and at the de-
sired instant release the shutter without the
usual accompanying mirror movement.
Referred to as,
“mirror-up
operation,” this
technique is extremely valuable when desiring
to eliminate even
the slightest mirror shock.
Be-
cause the mirror normally rises and causes vib-
rations the very instant before the shutter
opens, a loss of sharpness is possible when
working at high magnifications or with long
shutter speeds. Consequently, mirror-up oper-
ation is especially useful when engaging in
close-up photography, using telephoto lenses,
and making long
(“slow")
exposures. Yet
another application is when trying to catch the
peak of
action.
By raising the mirror be-
forehand, the shutter can instantly be released,
totally eliminating the time lag usually present
between the time the mirror completes its up-
ward swing and the time the shutter opens.

1.
After screwing a cable release firmly
into
the Mirror-up Socket of the lens, the socket
will
elevate slightly and the camera will be ready for
mirror-up
operation.
2. Press the Cocking Lever as far as it will go.
Step 2 may either follow or precede step
1
.
3. Depress the Shutter Release Button. The
mirror will rise, but the shutter will
remain
closed.
4. Press the plunger of the cable release and
the shutter will operate.
5. When you no longer need mirror-up opera-
tion, remove the cable release.
Upon removing the cable release, the
,Mir-
ror-up Socket will retract and the camera will
return to normal shutter operation.
