Rolleiﬂ ex 6008 AF Rolleiﬂ ex 6008 integral2

Congratulations on your new Rolleiﬂ ex

6008. We appreciate your patronage and trust that your new camera will give you outstanding service for many years to come.

Your Rolleiﬂ ex 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.

These are followed by a detailed description with pictures of all important aspects of the camera, guiding you step by step from assembling the basic camera modules right up to removing the exposed ﬁ lm.

This in turn is followed by a number of practical tips and additional information on the workings of your camera as well as its major accessories.

A tabular annex gives all important data of our line of interchangeable lenses.

In the case of operating errors – which even an experienced photographer might make in the heat of a shoot or after prolonged non-use of the camera – a trouble-shooting guide will help you locate possible causes and ﬁ nd a way to correct them. All parts numbers in the text and the illustrations stand for one and the same part and can be looked up in the two picture plates.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Charging the battery

Plug the power-supply cable a into the AC terminal b of the charger and connect it to the AC supply. The green LED indicates readiness. All normal AC voltages and frequencies are suitable:

» 100V – 240V AC, 50 Hz – 60 Hz.

The power-supply unit has protective insulation and conforms to the pertinent EU safety regulations. It comes with a

1.25amp slow-blow fuse. Its outputs (battery pins, terminals) are protected against short circuits due to defective batteries or metallic objects. Battery temperature is monitored and limited.

Note:

Be sure to prevent bare metallic objects from entering the battery slot and use the unit exclusively in a dry environment.

Place battery 8 with its contacts onto the pins in the charger slot. Rapid charging will start after about 2 s, and the red LED glows. Cutoff voltage and battery temperature are monitored during charging. At the cutoff voltage, the unit switches to trickle charge. If the battery voltage exceeds the admissible maximum, the red LED will go out and rapid charging is interrupted until the temperature is back to normal.

Trickle charging is in progress when the green and red LEDs are blinking. This makes up for the spontaneous discharge of the battery so that the latter may be left in the charger over prolonged periods.

Ambient temperature: approx. 5°C to 35°C. The overall duration of the charging cycle depends on battery condition. After normal discharge, about one hour or less is sufﬁ cient.

..............................................................................

23

CHARGING FROM CAR BATTERY

Note:

If you wish to resume rapid charging after trickle charge has started, brieﬂ y lift the battery off the contacts and replace it: The one-hour timer starts, and rapid charging is resumed.

If the battery is very hot – red LED off with battery in place –, rapid charging can be started only after it has cooled down.

Charging from car battery

Connect the car‘s lighter socket to the low-voltage terminal d of the charger. Normal charging from a 12V car battery will take about 14 hours. The two LEDs will remain off.

Additional power supply

An external device running on 12 VDC with a maximum of 500 mA can be connected to the 3.5 mm jack e of the charger. The green LED signals readiness. The maximum admissible length of the connecting cable is 2 m.

BATTERY STATUS

Battery status

With the camera switched on, battery status is monitored automatically.

The following display appears:

» for full or sufﬁ cient capacity , » for partial discharge , » blinking for very low capacity

(sufﬁ cient only for a few additional shots).

77

When the display reads “CHArGE“, the camera will switch off. If possible, keep a fully charged spare battery ready.

It is advisable to recharge the battery as soon as the icon starts blinking, above all at low temperatures. Use of the external battery connector – which allows the battery to be carried close to your body – also is very helpful at low ambient temperatures.

..............................................................................

25

CHANGING BATTERIES

Changing batteries

Push tab 77 up and remove discharged battery 8. Insert the recharged battery with its tab pointing down into the battery slot. Firmly press down the tab until it engages.

Note:

Always switch your camera off before changing batteries to keep exposure settings in memory.

Note:

To avoid premature discharging of the battery, be sure to reset master switch 1 to “off“ after using the camera.

For technical reasons, Nicad batteries will slowly discharge even if they are not used. To ensure instant readiness of your camera, be sure to recharge the battery every two to three months.

77

..............................................................................

26

Changing fuses

Remove battery and pull fuse 9 out of its holder. The open slide 39 exposes the spare fuse 38. Press this down into the holder so that it clicks into place. Close slide 39.

Suitable fuses – 1.25amp/250V, slow-blow – are commercially available.

To avoid damage to the camera, never use fuses of higher rating!

Should the spare fuse blow too, try to locate the cause (e.g. ﬁ lm-loading error, especially ﬁ lm running off the spool; ﬁ lm torn at low temperature or come off paper leader.) If the trouble cannot be located, please contact Rollei Service.

Attaching the handgrip

To avoid unintentional shutter tripping when attaching the grip, set the master switch to “off“. Turn shutter-speed dial 23 to < > and hold it in this position. Insert holding pin 66 of grip 21 fully into the opening in the shutter-speed dial. Let go of the dial so that it resets from its < > position.

The grip is now ﬁ xed to the camera. To remove the grip, proceed in the reverse order.

Changing the grip position

The grip has four click stops that ensure convenient holding of the camera with the waist-level ﬁ nder, the 45° prism ﬁ nder and the 90° eye-level ﬁ nder.

To change the grip position, press the release button 65 on the inside until the grip can be moved freely. Let go of the release button and move the grip forward or backward until the lock pin engages.

Adjusting the wrist strap

Loosen the strip on the buckle and adjust it so that the camera can be held safely with only your right hand.

To remove the strap, press the two lock pins of the strap holder with a pointed object (e.g. a ball pen) and withdraw the holders from the guide slots. To attach the strap, proceed in the reverse order.

Loading and changing ﬁ lm inserts

Pull the grip of the magazine‘s laminar drawslide 49 all the way in the direction of the arrow “magazine change/remove insert“. Press release buttons 34 and 48, swing the magazine back down and remove ﬁ lm insert 57. The recesses in the back make removal very easy. If necessary, brieﬂ y press the empty spool with one ﬁ nger to loosen the insert.

Pull red tab 55 outwards, insert the ﬁ lm spool according to icon 58 (black side of paper facing inside) and engage the tab. Thread the ﬁ lm leader straight into empty spool 28 and use advance ﬂ ange 59 to wind it up tight until the arrow on the paper backing is properly aligned with index 29. Slip the ﬁ lm-box tab into memo holder 56 (on side of ﬁ lm spool).

The camera comes with a ﬁ lm insert inside. Unless you use interchangeable magazines, which are even more practical, it is advisable to keep several ﬁ lm inserts ready for prolonged shoots. The inserts can be preloaded and are easy to carry. The same type of insert can be used for size 120 and 220 roll ﬁ lm (not the same type of magazine, though!).

The empty ﬁ lm spool from the last roll need not be changed – it will accept the leader of the new ﬁ lm without reposition- ing. This is a special beneﬁ t of the sym- metrical insert that ﬁ ts the ﬁ lm-advance system even when it is turned through 180°. If the new ﬁ lm is of different speed or type, also change the ﬁ lm tab in the memo holder, and reset the ﬁ lm speed on dial 37.

Loading ﬁ lm inserts

Open the magazine back as described before and load the insert so that the ﬁ lm spool coincides with the icon , the empty spool with . Do not try to insert the ﬁ lm edges beneath the spring clips c. Simply leave them on top. As the ﬁ lm is wound on automatically, it will pass below the clips on its own.

Close the back until it engages and pull the grip fully down to cancel the release lock. Set the master switch to “S“ and brieﬂ y press shutter release 20 or 24: The ﬁ lm will automatically advance to the ﬁ rst frame, and the frame counter 51 will read “1“. Should this not be the case – which does happen from time to time with certain makes of ﬁ lm –, press the shutter release once more.

..............................................................................

Removing the ﬁ lm

After the last frame, wait for the ﬁ lm advance and wind-up to ﬁ nish and “End“ to appear in the display. Then close the laminar drawslide (grip in direction of arrow “magazine change/remove insert“). Open the magazine back, remove the insert and take out the ﬁ lm. If necessary, replace the ﬁ lm insert and close the back until it engages. It is advisable to remove the magazine from the camera before removing the ﬁ lm. (See paragraph “Removing/changing magazines“.)

Note:

Before opening the magazine back 35, pull grip 49 fully in the direction of the arrow “magazine change/remove insert“, or the drawslide may be damaged!

Setting the ﬁ lm speed

Engage dial 37 in the position for the ISO speed concerned. The dial must be in one of its click stops!

Film speed can be set over a range of ISO 25/15° to 6400/39°, which covers practically all the emulsions available in the world.

If the ﬁ lm speed is changed with the camera switched on (!) or if magazines with different ISO settings are attached to the camera, the corresponding ISO value will be displayed for about one second, e.g. 25 – 32 – 40 … 4000 – 5000 – 6400, preceded by “Sn“ (for sensitivity).
