Rolleiflex 6008 AF Rolleiflex 6008 integral2 Congratulations on your new Rolleiflex 6008. We appreciate your patronage and trust that your new camera will give you outstanding service for many years to come. Your Rolleiflex 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 film. 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 find 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. 10 ..............................................................................

Please note: Like any precision instrument, your Rolleiflex 6008 AF/6008 integral2 deserves careful handling. Proceed with care above all when removing or attaching interchangeable magazines or lenses: » Interchangeable magazines removed from the camera should always be protected by closing their laminar drawslide and attaching their protective cover. » These cover the most important controls and manipulations you need to acquaint yourself with your camera and its operation. Readers who prefer detailed information right from the beginning should start on page 19. » Never touch the reflex mirror or special light-absorbing surfaces when there is no lens on the camera. In this case, always close the camera`s mirror box with its protective cap. » Hints regarding autofocus or focus indication refer exclusively to the Rolleiflex 6008 AF. Note: Users of earlier models of the Rolleiflex 6000 Series should read the paragraph "Compatibility with earlier components". » When there is no magazine on the camera, make sure that the exposed auxiliary shutter 60 is not subject to pressure. In this case, always protect the camera by attaching its rear cover. .............................................................................. 11 BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS .............................................................................. 77 a 8 b 68 18 72 77 Charging the battery Connect power-supply cable a to power terminal b of charger and the latter to AC.
