Mounting

the MD-l1 on your camera

simple;

the

unit has

been

designed

suchthat it canbeattached

or removed

at any time regardless

of whether

or not

the camera

around

the

drive

shaft

iscorrectly

seated

inside

the

collar,

coaxial

withthe

camera's

film advance

coupling.

Then,

fasten

OPERAilION

The camera/MD-11

combination

operates

in virtually

thesamemannerasthecameraonits

own.

Please

refer

to your

camera's

instruction

manual

for details.

When

the MD-1

1 is attached,leave

the film advancelever

flush

with the

camerabody.

Themotor

drive's

power

switchwill also

serveto switch

on thecamera's

meter.

Withthemotor

driveattached

allexposures

shouldbe

madevia the trigger

button on the motor drive

grip.

Concentricwith this triggering

button is the motor

driveS-Cselector,

giving

youa choiceof either

single

frame

(S)

orcontinuous

(C)

shooting.To set

themotor

drive

to either

S or C, depress

the lock

and

turnthe

selector

to therequired

setting.

Single-frame

shooting:

In this mode,depressingthe

triggerbutton

themotor

drive

grip

firesthe

shutter;

when

the finger

is liftedfrom the button,

themotor

drive advances

the film one frame and cocksthe

shutter.You can lift your finger from the trigger

button

even

before

theexposure

iscompletedsincethe

electronic

interlock

prevents

thefilm from advancing

until the shutterhascompletedits travel.

Theusable

shutter

speed

range

when

the MD-l1 is setat "S" is

from

second

to 111000second

withthe

FM.

Withthe

FE,

inaddition

to theautomatic

setting

(AUTO),

you

can

setany

of the

markedspeeds

including

M90.

The

"B" settingcannot

beused.

www.orphancameras.com

Continuous

shooting:

In thismode,

themotordrive

will automatically

trigger

the shutter

and wind the

film for as long as the trigger

button is depressed.

Framing

rate

willdepend

on theshutter

speed

setting,

as the motor drive's

electronic

interlock

with the

camera's

shutter

automatically

advances

the film as

soon

asthe

exposure

iscompleted.

Maximum

framing

rate is approximately

3.5 frames

per second

(fps)

shutter

speeds

fasterthan

1125

sec.

Remember

that continuous

shooting

at the

maximum

rate

of 3.5

fps will result

in a standard

36 exposure

cassette

being

completely

exposed

in a little lessthan

11 seconds.

Consequently,

you should

exercise

re-

straint

when

operating

with themotorset

for continu-

ousshooting.

Many

photographers,however,

prefer

leave

the camera

set

for continuous

shooting,

lifting

their

fingeroff the triggerbutton the instant

theex-

posure

is made.This

technique

results

in single-frame

operation,

but readies

the photographer

for taking

sequence

photographs

should the situation

or need

arise.

The

usableshutter

speed

range

when

theMD-l1

isset

at "C" is

from 112second

to 111000

secondwith

the FM. With the FE, in addition

to theautomatic

setting

(AUTO),

you can

setanyof the

markedspeeds

including

M90.

The"B" setting

cannotbe

used.

The

FE's

automatic

exposurecapability

allows

youto

follow sub.iects

asthey pass

through

areasof differing

brightness,

y€t still obtaincorrectly

exposedresults.

Although

widely

varying

brightness

changes

of EV 4

or more may sometimes

result

in over-

or under-

exposure

for thefirstframe

following

thetransition,

thissituation

is rare

in practice

andthus

likely

to be

of little consequence

to the average

photographer.

lmportant! After shooting,

makesure

that you turn the motor

drive off. Otherwise,

the camera's

metering circuit will put a

steady drain on the batteries, ultimately rendering them

ess.

Note: The camera/MD-l1 combination is designed

to work

smoothly under

a wide range

of climatic

conditions.

Sub-zero

(centigrade)

temperatures,

however,havea very severe

effect

on any mechanism. For faultless performance under these

conditions,

we recommend

that, for continuous

shootinS,

You

do not use shutter speeds

of less

than 1

/30 sec.

The useof

slower shutter speeds

may result in erratic operation. lf it is

imperative

to use

shutterspeeds

of lessthan 1/30 sec.,

switch

to single

frameshooting.
