elias_roustom Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Little zone focus camera with green light that comes on when the shutter release is depressed. Does anyone know anything about this camera - what does the green light mean, should it be doing anything else besides lighting up? Should it flash to warn for over or under exposure?

donnie_strickland Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 It's a battery check. If it doesn't come on, the battery is shot. There should be a f-stop/shutter speed scale on the right side of the viewfinder to warn of over- or underexposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francois_gauthier Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I recall there was a small button for battery check that also put a green light on the pose number. But when you press the shutter release half way one of 3 things happen : red light signalling over-exposure (would need faster than the 1_500 sec max), yellow light signalling long exposure (slower than 1_30 sec) or no light when in between.

russ_britt3 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I had one back in the 70s.....great camera ....sharp lens. Very accurate auto exposure. I also had the wide angle and telephoto attachments.Got it off a guy that just bought it in Vietnam. Went to a Pentax Spotmatic....then to a 645, next a hassey.

winfried_buechsenschuetz1 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Some of the posters seem to be confused with the Electro35MC and the 35G.. series. The 35MC is the smallest of the Electro series. It does NOT have a rangefinder, but zone focussing with an indicator visible in the viewfinder. It does NOT have a battery test button and does NOT have indicators for over/underexposure, just the green light which goes on whenever you press the button (as long as the battery is not dead). One thing to remember: the max exposure time is several seconds but the shutter will stay open for that period ONLY if you press the shutter button permanently. Otherwise it is a great little shooter and was my choice for my last vacation (together with an Wirgin Edixa-Flex, a Welta Trio 6x9 and a Weltax 6x4.5).

elias_roustom Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 Thank you all for your responses. Winfried, do you know what the purpose is of the shutter button locking past the half way down point? I gave the camera a quick test (Delta Pro 100 @ 200 in Diafine) and while I think that film/developer combo wasn't the best, the lens is impressively sharp.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
