Ok, this is what I was afraid of. I was wondering what the remote control actually did(remote filming, etc). Something tells me it's going to be next to impossible to locate one of these remotes. Is it just a pin that is pushed inside the remote slot? I might be able to make something if that's the case.
Where it says "manual, off and auto": is that the exposure control for different film types? If so, how do I measure it?
Here's a picture of the side of the camera with the remote input:
Another question: It appears that the camera has a zoom as well as a focus. The problem is, the focus doesn't seem to "focus" anything. Everything is always in focus. All it does is make the field of view slightly smaller or larger, but not by much. Does it serve a different purpose? The only thing that adjusts focus is the black rotary piece attached to the eyepiece in the picture above(far upper right). Here's a picture of the lens:
Lastly, I wasn't sure what these mean:
The switch turns the camera on and off, but I didn't know if it served a different purpose since it's labeled with random letters. Are the 'c' and 's' just light meters?
As you can tell, I'm new to all of this and could really use a manual for this camera. I appreciate all the help.
