Locking up the mirror
To cut out even the slightest vibration during
exposure, especially with long lenses or close-
ups, it is advisable to lock up the mirror. To
do this, briefly press button 28 identified by a
mirror symbol: The mirror will swing up. Then
press the shutter release. The shutter lag is only
a few milliseconds.
Do not make any further adjustment while the
mirror is up because exposure metering is then
disabled. If the camera shuts down or if it is
switched off via its master switch, the AE values
determined will be stored in the memory.
If no further exposure with mirror lock is
planned, press button 28 again: The mirror will
swing back to its normal position without any
exposure.
Flash photography
Your Rolleiflex Hy6 is fully X-synchronized at all
shutter speeds up to
1
/500 s (up to
1
/1000 s with
PQS lenses). Flash units can be connected either
to hot shoe 55 or PC contact 19 with (parallel-
connected) standard 3mm socket. The camera
offers the following flash options:
» Manual flash (aperture chosen as a function
of subject distance).
» Dedicated flash (TTL flash metering and con-
trol) with dedicated SCA-3562 flash adapter
and suitable Metz flash units.
» The TTL-flash sensor incorporated in your
camera will meter the light in the “multi-
zone“ function.
» Different degrees of reflection of digital backs
are transmitted to the camera via electrical
interfaces and will be taken into account
automatically.
