To set the desired slit width (shutter speed) the shutter must be partly cocked so that the small black dot on the perforated washer in the dial is opposite the mark on the camera's top plate. In order to prevent unintentional exposure, advancing the shutter and setting the slit width should only be done with the lens capped.....Important: Do not set the dial directly from "50" to "2" and vice versa. Instead, adjusting must always be done upwards or downwards step by step, , ie. from "5" to "50" the dial must be rotated clockwise past the figures "10" and "20", but never counterclockwise past the "2." Got that? Now you're ready for the decisive moment. Arthur
