NOTE: With the fiducial mark on the speed ring set opposite a number on
the speed scale, the shutter opens and closes with one operation of the
cable release or release lever. With fiducial mark set at B (bulb), the
shutter opens when the cable release is operated and closes when the
cable release plunger is released. If an opening of several seconds is
required, finger tighten the lock on the cable release to hold the
shutter open. With the fiducial mark set at T (time), two operations of
the cable release, or the release lever, are required; the first opens
the shutter and the second operation closes the shutter.
