For distant views, set the camera at infinitr' (o ).. 1? *1 t*. * rii.
(8) zone focusing To use the Memar as a fixed focus camera, set the focusing ring at either 10 or 30 feet (the numbers in red)' Then set the diaphragm ring at the red dot on the diaphragm aperture (f stop) scale and the shutter at 1/50th of a second. With the camera focused at 10 feet, everything from 7 to 15 feet will be in focus: at 30 feet, everYthing from 15 feet to infinity will be in focus. Sharpest pictures of any specific subject will result, of course, if the lens is focused at the exact camera-to-subject distance.. the diaphragm The diaphragm, or Iens oPening as it is often called, governs the amount ot. Iisht which passes through the lens while the shutter is open. The diaphragm opening is set by turning the wide diaphragm ring which has an index mark on top. Turn this ring so the index mark coincides exactly with the line opposite the f number on the diaphragm aperture scale. As it moves from the lower number (f,23.5)to the higher (f/16), the size of the opening decreases and the diaphragm is said to be "stopped down". Remember, the lower the number, the Iarger the aperture and the greater the amount of light admitted. To observe the action of the diaphragm, set the shutter at B, open the back of the camera and press and hold down the shutter release button. Looking into the back of the camera toward light, revolve the diaphra8m ring back and forth. Notice how the size of the opening varies. www.orphancameras.com.
(9) the shutter. automatic winding device. The shutter of a camera determines the length of the exposure. The Pronto shutter on the Memar has mechanically regulated speeds ot l/25t}: to 1/200th of a second, plus B (for time exposures). It is also synchronized for flash (see paee 17). The shutter speed is set by turning the thin milled ring so that the desired speed is opposite the diamondshaped index mark on the stationary Iens mount. The shutter is released (the exposure made) by pressing down on the shutter release button. Be sure to hold the camere level and steady and press the release button with a firm, slow pressure.. After each exposure, grip the straight edge of the winding lever with the right thumb (shown in picture at right) antl pull it to the right as far as it will go. Be sure it goes the full distance or the shutter will not be ready for the next exposure. This action winds the film, cocks the shutter and counts the exposures, so after each winiling, the camera is ready for the next exposure. This automatic winding feature prevents double exposures since the shutter release button will remain Iocked until the film is wound.. 6. .. t .. a. r.

Be sure the camera is mounted on a tripod or other firm, Ievel support for all time exposures.. www.orphancameras.com.
(11) self - timer. depth of field. The \{emar has a self-timing nechanism which allows about a nine second delay in exposure to permit the photographer time to get in the picture. With and shutter opening the diaphragm speed set, move the lever at the bottom of the lens mount to the left as far as it will go. Release the shutter in the usual manner and after about a nine second delay, the picture will be taken. "8." The self-timer will not work on since time exposures are not mechanically pre-determined.. Depth of field is that distance between the nearest and farthest points of sharp focus. With the diaphragm set at f,/3.5, and the distance setting at 6 feet, every-.

On each side of the center index mark are identical markings which indicate the various diaphragm settings from f/3.5 through f/16.
