Rolleiflex 6008 AF Rolleiflex 6008 integral2 Congratulations on your new Rolleiflex 6008. We appreciate your patronage and trust that your new camera will give you outstanding service for many years to come. Your Rolleiflex 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. [. . . ] 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. 56 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

If "S" is displayed, no film is loaded or the film is not yet wound up. A "red arrow" indicates that the film 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. 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. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 57 VIEWFINDER DISPLAY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Additional viewfinder display The areas of the aperture and shutterspeed display in the viewfinder are used for additional information as well: » 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. » When the camera is on and the filmspeed 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 film 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). 58 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
