3. Thank you for your purchase of a Contax RTS IL Based on the Real Time concept of the Contax RTS series this Contax camera of the highest class offers in addition more sophisticated features such as ultra fast 1 8000 sec shutter speed RTV Real Time Vacuum system TTL pre flash capability and narrow area spot metering To make full advantage of its functions and capabilities please read this manual carefully through before using the camera so that you can understand them well and use it correctly This manual uses a multi mode Planar T 50mm F1 4 MM lens equipped on the camera for explaining its operating procedures However you can also use it in the same way as described in this manual when it is equipped with other multi mode Carl Zeiss interchangeable lenses Wir danken Ihnen daB Sie sich f r die Contax RTS III entschieden haben Auf der Grundlage des Echtzeitkonzeptes der Contax RTS Serie bietet Ihnen diese Contax Kamera der h chsten G teklasse zus tzliche fortschrittliche Merkmale u a eine ultrakurze Verschlu zeit von 1 8000 Sek ein RTV System Real Time Vacuum TTL Vorblitz Lichtmessung und Engbereichs Spotmessung Bitte lesen Sie diese Bedienungsanleitung vor Inbetriebnahme der Kamera aufmerksam durch damit Sie mit allen Funktionen vertraut werden und optimalen Gebrauch von ihren M glichkeiten machen k nnen Die Erkl rungen dieser Bedienungsanleitung gehen davon aus da ein Mehrbetriebsa
4. Make sure that all connected flash units are fully charged Face the camera toward the subject on which you want to measure exposure and turn the pre flash lever The camera will automatically stop down the aperture and fire the flash but without taking a picture An error relative to the correct value will be displayed in a range of 2 EV on the flashmeter in the viewfinder e The light metering area is inside a 4 5mm circle in the center of the viewfinder a circle outside the microprism If the flashmeter indicates the correct value make sure the flash is fully charged and shoot If it indicates other values adjust the aperture so that it indicates the correct value and shoot If it is impossible to adjust the aperture or if the measured value blinks because the error exceeds 2 EV readjust the aperture and use pre flash again Because some large size flash units do not synchronize at 1 250 sec it is recommended to make preliminary tests before use e The pre flash is designed to fire by means of an electronic switch Therefore some flash units do not enable light metering by pre flash with the flashmeter berzeugen Sie sich da alle angeschlossenen Blitzger te vollst ndig aufgeladen sind Richten Sie die Kamera auf das Motiv auf dem der Belichtungswert gemessen werden soll und drehen Sie den Vorblitzschieber Danach schlieBt die Kamera die Blende automatisch und der Blitz wird ausgel st ohne eine Aufnahme
