The lever on the right-hand side of the taking lens is used to select M (flash bulb) or X (electronic flash) synchronization. It also activates the built-in self-timer. Shutter speed and diaphragm are set by a single lever on the left-hand side of the taking lens (in contrast to the two wheels found on other Rolleiflexes). Diaphragm and exposure time are coupled to keep the amount of light constant. By pulling out the lever radially, the exposure time is left alone, and only the diaphragm setting is changed. Exposure time and diaphragm values are displayed in a single window on top of the viewing lens. • Back can be removed to facilitate film loading.
