Technical data

information, it provides such capability in al I fields of photography as could not possibility be expected of other

35mm SLR models.' The New Bayonet Mount also a product of mutual cooperation between Carl Zeiss and Yashica

- affords perfect coordination of the optical, mechanical and electronic systems. The exclusive 'Real Time' features

are:

1. 'Real Time' LED Shutter Speed Display

By pressing the LED display button before or after film wind, the LED (light emitting diode) in the viewfinder will

come on instantly to display the calibrated or in-between shutter speed ensuring correct exposure in relation with the

preselected aperture.

2. 'Real Time' Magnetic Release

Because this magnetic release trips the shutter through feather-touch fingertip

action, camera shake at the critical moment of exposure is effectively prevented.

Since, moreover, shutter tripping is accomplished through contact of an electric

switch, all types of off-hand controls can be used directly. Correct exposure is

obtained through 'Real Time' light reading immediately before exposure.

3. "Real Time' 1/2000 sec. Maximum Shutter Speed

4.butkus.org

Because your CONTAX RTS features an electronic focal plane shutter with a unique design under which the

primary and secondary curtains uncap to provide starting from the same position, precise shutter speeds can be

obtained up to the maximum of 1/2000 sec.

4. 'Real Time' Oft-Hand Controls

Because the magnetic release functions strictly on electrical principle, various types of electrically operated off-hand

controls can be used directly by merely plugging into the camera's release socket. The off-hand controls currently

available include the Infrared Controller Set and Interval Timer.

5. 'Real Time' Motor Drive System

The magnetic release does greatly more than just tripping the shutter. In the final stage of its function, it switches on

the motor drive switch to provide -precise synchronization with the motor drive unit. Of the two types of motor

drive units, the Real Time Winder is a compact unit which can be regarded as standard equipment of your CONTAX

RTS.

6. 'Real Time' T* (T-Star) Carl Zeiss Lenses

-The high performance and extra-high speed design of the Carl Zeiss lenses, featuring the T* (T-Star) multi-layer

anti-reflection coating which minimizes harmful glass-to-air reflections and assures 'Real Time color reproduction

and contrast permit the photographer to select comparatively high shutter speed even in subdued light situations,

thus offering new possibilities in 'Real Time' photography.
