2. SHIFTS (Fig. 54)
These movements are made by loosening the Shift Knob and moving
the camera front to the left and right parallel with the line of the film plane
by pushing the Shift Frame. It is used to change the position of objects
in your picture without moving the
camera.
It can also be used to correct the position of the optical axis when using
the technique called
·swing".

3. TILTS (Fig. 55)
To tilt, loosen the two Tilt Knobs, one on each side of the camera, and
turn the camera front up or down
.
These movements are used to control
the top-to-bottom sharpness of
subjects
having depth without stopping
down the
aperture.

4. SWINGS (Fig. 56)
To swing, push the Swing Lever (located next to the Focusing Knob on
the left side of the camera body) and, at the same time, turn the camera
front to the left or right. These movements are generally used to adjust
right-to-Ieft
sharpness,
but they can also be used to control image per-
spective
.
Swing Lever (Fi g. 56-A)
:;:
The movements described in the foregoing paragraphs are almost
always used in combination. Regarding details concerning the prin-
ciples and techniques involved
,
please refer to a more complete trea-
tise
on the
subject.
Camera-magazine publishers should be able to
tell you where you
can
obtain such material.
:;:
Be
sure
to tighten the camera-movement knobs before you start tak-
ing pictures
.
If the knobs are loose, you may jiggle the camera
when
you take your
picture.
:;: After you are through taking pictures, be sure to return all of the parts
used to employ camera movements back to their original pOSitions. If
you
don't,
you may get partly-fuzzy
pictures,
that
is,
pictures with de-
graded
edges.

With a standard
bellows,
you won't be able to use full camera
move-
ments if it is compressed. The best thing you can do in such cases is
to change to a wideang le bellows.
VLOTHERPROCEDURES
1.
ADJUSTING THE SOUND
L
EVEL OF THE
INCORRECT-EXPO-
SURE
WARNING BUZZER
(Fi
g.
57)
If the exposure you have set is more than two stops over or
under,
an
electronic warning buzzer (700 Hz) built in the grip of the Remote-con-
trol Shutter Release
ill
will turn on and buzz intermittently for five sec-
onds. You can adjust its sound level if you wish
.
To reduce the volume
of the sound or switch it
off,
turn the adjuster to the
left,
and to increase
the volume, turn it to the right.
Low (Off)
(Fig
.
57-A)
High
(Fig. 57-B)
To avoid damaging the
buzzer, however,
do not set the adjuster be-
yond the left and right stop points (marked with dots) (Fig.
57-C).
2.
SHOOTING WITH THE MIRROR UP
(Fig. 58)
If you are taking long-exposure shots such as close-ups
,
or if you want
to avoid the time lag of the mirror movement to shoot a fast-moving sub-
ject,
just
shoot with the mi rror
up.
This is the way to do it: After focusing
the lens through the Finder, bring the mirror up by pushing up the MIR-
ROR Up/Down Switch then take your picture. After shooting with the
mirror
up,
bring the mirror down again by pushing the Switch down.

Switch (Fig

Mirror up
(Fig
. 58-B)
Mirror down (Fig.
58-C)
If you are using a large size lens mounted on a Linhof board on the
GX680
ill,
you 'll have to shoot with the mirror up
.
In this case
,
you 'll
need an LF Lensboard Adapter. (Refer to page 25.)
3. USING SYNC TEST BUTTON
(Fig.
59)
This button lets you test from camera position the flash that is
clipped
into the Hotshoe
or
connected to the Sync Socket with a cord
.
It can be used to measure the exposure range of the flash and to test-fire
it without using the Shutter Release
,
a well as to check sync cord
sever-
ance and faulty cord connection.
Sync Test Button (Fig.
59-A)
:;:
Synchronization test with the Sync Test
Button
consists of checking
the conductivity up to the Sync Socket. Since the shutter's X-contact
is not
involved
,
testing does not include shutter synchronization. To
be on the safe side, therefore
,
it is always best to make a reliable test
with the Shutter Release and with the Camera Back open before load-
ing film in the
camera.
