sources of light, this could damage your eyes.

3. Keep the camera away from heat sources >90°C, to avoid irreparable

damage

4. Keep the camera away from fire to avoid damage or burning.

5. Keep the camera at least 30mm away from objects that could be

damaged by the magnetic field by the neodymium magnet mounted on

the shutter, such as: magnetic stripe cards or badges, hearing aids,

pacemakers, mechanical watches in accordance with ISO 764,

For NON ISO 764 watches, maintain a distance of at least 61mm.

A safety distance cannot be determined to avoid damage to hard disks.

Release eight knobs 1, then remove the cover 2from the camera.

Positioning the knob 3with the bush 4in front of you, such as the picture belo-

In this way the rewinding palette 5will be oriented in the correct position to al-

low the coil insertion

Tilting the coil and insert its slot into the rewind palette 5, pressing smothly the

coil onto the surface above the palette and then insert the coil into the seat 6

Position the film roll with the tape oriented to the empty coil, remove the tape,

tilt the film roll to insert its slot into the pin 7and then push the film roll into the

seat 8

Pull the back paper until reach the empty coil

Insert the back paper into the vertical slot of the empty coil and then rotating

the knob 3to wind the back paper around the empty coil. Executing two or th-

ree knob rounds to verify that back paper is winded correctly.

Warning:

The knob 3own a mechanism that allow only a rotation in counterclockwise

sense. If you forcing a clockwise rotation of the knob 3with an excessive

strength, the socket set screw that fixing the knob on the palette 5could be

released. Use a metric hexagonal key to release completely the knob. Mount

the knob on the palette in manner that the screw placed in the knob working

on the flat layer of the shaft palette.

Close the camera with the cover 2and tight the four threaded knobs 1

Take the photos

Mount the camera on the tripod using threaded holes 9or 10, otherwise place

the camera on a surface that insures the camera in a stable position, bubble

levels 11 and 12 help you to level the camera.

Suggestion:

To obtain a perfect closure of the cover 2, tight fours threaded knobs accor-

doing the follow sequence:

A-B-C-D

Shift the cover 13 until its end stroke to have the porthole 14 visible.

Rotate the knob 3and winding the film to find the number one printed on the

back paper, this means that the film is in the correct position to shoot the first

photo.

14 3

As soon as the correct film position is find, shut-up the cover 13 until its stroke

end.

The camera own two pinholes openable through two manual shutters 15 and

16, insured against accidental opening thanks to magnets

The shutter 16 opens the pinhole lens placed on the framing center , the

shutter 15 opens the pinhole lens placed 13.75 millimiters off the central

pinhole lens, the shifted pinhole lens allow the horizon curve management. Ac-

cording the connection used to mount the camera on tripod, the final result of

the horizon curve management will be opposite.

Note:

The back paper of the 120-Film format has printed a series of progressive

numbers to indicate the correct film position before shooting, in relation of the

camera format. In the back paper are printed numerations to shooting photos

in the follow camera formats:

•6x4.5

•6x6

•6x9

The pinhole camera Auloma Diva 6x6 take photos in the format 6x6, the

porthole 14 displays the series of numbers printed in the back paper

dedicated for 6x6 camera, thus to obtain twelve pictures well spaced between

them, is enough rotate the knob 3and wind the film to have in the middle of

the porthole the number printed in the back paper. Numbers printed on the

back paper are is sequence and start from one until twelve.

To each pinhole lens correspond a different scene detechtable trough the

viewfinders available on the camera. To find the scene on the horizontal side

of the picture, joint viewfinders 17-19 and 18-19 this is valid for both shutters

15 and 16 with the camera mounted in both tripod connections.

In case is used the shutter 15 the scene on the vertical side of the picture will

be determineted from the conjunction of viewfinders 20-22 and 21-22. the

viewfinder 22 is red.
