FROM THE ROLLEIFLEX 6008 SRC 1000, ROLLEIFLEX 6008 USER'S MANUAL:

CAMERA TYPE: Automatic motorised and computerised rollfilm single-lens reflex with multimode exposure control, multi-function TTL metering, TTL flash control, motorised film transport and action grip.

PICTURE SIZES: 6x6cm and 4.5x6cm (2 1/4 x 2 1/4 and 1 3/4 x 2 1/4 in.).

FILM TYPES: No. 120 and 220 rollfilm for 12 or 24 exposures, respectively (6x6cm), or 16 and 32 exposures, respectively (4.5x6cm). Polaroid film packs; perforated 70mm film.

FILM SPEEDS: Set on film magazine in 1/3 EV from ISO 25/15 deg. to 6400/39 deg., electric input into camera.

SHUTTER: Electronic leaf shutter, 1/500 s and 1/1000 s to 30 s in 1/3 step intervals and B, direct-drive controlled by two linear motors in each lens.

EXPOSURE METERING: 1. Center-weighted multi-zone readings with seven silicon cells in five groups behind instant return mirror. 2. Spot readings by photodiode on center of finder screen (approx. 1% of image area). 3. Multi-spot readings of up to five image points; camera computes and stores mean value. Automatic stray light compensation during reading and exposure.

QUICK RELEASE: Rapid release function with about 3-4ms delay with PQ lenses between pressing the release and the shutter opening. About 2 ms delay with PQS lenses.

EXPOSURE MODES: Shutter-speed priority AE. Aperture-priority AE. Programmed AE, based on fast-speed priority. Meter-assisted manual in 1/3 steps.

MEASURING RANGE: EV 3 to EV 19 with ISO 100 film, f2.8 lens (1-66000 cd/m²). EV 5 to EV 19 with older 6006 lenses.

AE LOCK: Operates in all automatic modes; stores aperture/speed combination as EV.

EXPOSURE CORRECTION: Manually set in 1/3 EV steps from -4 2/3 to +2 EV. Auto bracketing 3-shot sequences (S+/- setting) with +/-2/3 EV intervals.

AUTOMATIC FLASH: Additional silicon cell for TTL film plane measurement. Flash ready and auto check signals in finder.

FLASH SYNCHRONIZATION: At all shutter speeds from 1/1000 s to 30 s. Hot shoe with dedicated contacts for SCA-300 system flashes. Operates with Rollei SCA 356 adapter and FM 1 flash exposure meter.

RELEASING: Electromagnetic releases on camera front and speed dial. Cable release and remote control outlets.

DEPTH-OF-FIELD PREVIEW: Stopdown key operates in all exposure modes.

MIRROR PRERELEASING: In any operating mode; stores and displays exposure reading.

LENS MOUNT: Rollei bayonet mount with ten-pole terminal strip to transmit iris and shutter driving pulses. Full exposure coupling retained also with bellows unit, extension tubes and retro adapter.

LENSES: Zeiss and Schneider PQ (professional-quality) lenses provide all functions with full-aperture readings; stop-down feature to working aperture for depth of field previewing. Earlier non-PQ Zeiss and Schneider lenses usable with working-aperture measurement only.

MULTIPLE EXPOSURES: Film transport disengaged in ME position of camera switch; retains image viewing in finder. ME1 multi-exposure control unit permits up to 10 exposures/sec.

MAIN MIRROR: Prereleasable instant-return mirror with partially transmitting multicoating. Pneumatic mirror brake.

FINDER SYSTEM: Camera supplied with folding hood containing interchangeable magnifier. Alternative 45 deg. and 90 deg. prism finders or rigid magnifying hood. Six interchangeable screens.

FINDER SIGNALS: Digital LEDs for aperture and shutter speed in 1/3 steps, correct-exposure balance signals, exposure correction, spot and multi-spot readings, AE lock, flash-ready, auto check, battery check. Exposure display can be switched off. Display reversed automatically for right readings through 45 deg. and 90 deg. prism finders.

FILM TRANSPORT: Built-in high-performance motor for single shots and sequences with up to 2 fps. Automatic advance to first frame on loading, automatic wind off after last frame.

POWER SUPPLY: Rechargeable sintered NiCd battery for about 500 exposures at room temperature; 110-240 Volt, 50/60 Hz rapid charger with automatic charge limiter; 12 volt lead for car battery.

ACTION GRIP: Removable, four positions for different finders/camera holds. Removable leather hand strap.

INTERCHANGEABLE FILM MAGAZINES: For 6x6cm images on No. 120 film, 6x6cm on No. 220, 4.5x6cm on No. 120 or 4.5x6cm on No. 220. Built-in laminar drawslide. Film-speed input. Film type indicator. Preloadable film inserts. Type 70 and Data 70 magazines for 60-70 exposures on 70 mm film. Polaroid back for film packs (8 exposures 6x6cm). Earlier Rolleiflex 6006 magazines usable; simulate ISO 100 film speed input, other film speeds by exposure correction adjustment. Can be converted by Rollei.

OTHERS: Universal 14-pole threaded socket for multi-exposure control unit, timer, remote releases, foot switch, infrared remote control. Quick-release tripod coupling. 1/4 and 3/8 in. tripod bushes.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE: From -20 deg. C to +60 deg. C.
