is in place (i.e. that the magazine is at-
tached to the camera).
Fold out the film winding crank (5) and
turn it clockwise until it stops (about 10
turns). Fold the crank (5) back and flip
it down. The number 'L' will now be
visible in the frame counter window (7).
The magazine is loaded and ready for use.
Note: The magazine can only be removed
from the camera when l}:,emagazine slide
is in place.No exposure can be made with
the slide inserted in an attached mas.azine.
After the final frame:
The camera exposuremechanism is
blocked
after the final frame has been exposed
('I2' wllI be seen in the frame counter
window of l2-exposure magazines). Fold
out the film winding crank (5) and wind
the film onto the take-up spool.
OPERATING THE 2OOOFC
This part of the instruction manual deals
with subjects such as shutter speed and
aperture setting, focusing, determining
depth-of-field, film advance, mirror pro-
gram selection, pre-release operation and
intentional double exposure.
Using F lenseswith the 2000FC
The f/stop is set using the aperture ring;
this ring has two knurled projections (36,
Fig. 30).
The ring can be manipulated with
the right hand while the camera is held
in the left-hand grip.
The shutter speedis set against the index
(29) with a prong (33) on the shutterspeed
14
ring. The most common shutter speeds
can be conveniently set just using the
thumb of your left hand. F lenses have
shutter speeds
of B and 1 to I/2000 s. At
the B setting, the shutter remains open as
long as the release button is kept de-
pressed. The shutter speed ring (25) has
click stops for both engraved and inter-
mediate speeds. Thus, you can set the
shu,tterat ll250s, l/375 s, 1/500,s,1/750 s
etc. No intermediate rspeed can ,be set
betweenI and B or betweenB and C.
(Intermediate speeds can not be set on
the shuttersof C lenses).
The 2000FC shutter speed ring (25) can
be locked to prevent accidental displace-
ment. The ring is locked using the lever
(38). The lever pointer should point to
L (:locked), Fig.31.
The shutter and diaphragm controls (24
and 25), which normally operate indepen-
dently, can be cross-coupled by pressing
the cross-coupling button (20). With the
shutter and diaphragm interlinked in this
manner, shutter speed/aperture combina-
tions can be altered with no ch4nge in the
value set on the exposure value scale. The
correct exposure value is obtained with an
exposure meter such as the Hasselblad ex-
posure meter or the meter prism finder.
Example: With the button (20) for cross-
coupling of shutter and diaphragm de-
pressed,change the aperture from f/8 to
t/ll. This automatically changesthe shut-
ter speed from e.g. l/250 s to l/ 125 s.
(Cross-coupling is not possible when an
extension tube or bellows extension is
used.)
