QL19 (old style) levers

[MazG]

On my QL19 (old, larger style) there are 3 metal levers on the band between the Shutter and Aperture rings.

The bottom one is the self time (which works!). The second one has no label and appears to just push in. The third slides between X and M.

Any idea as to what these two levers are for? I've looked at the QL17III/19 manual but that isn't helping.

Thanks

Going by memory here, the second one should be the ISO adjustment? - I think you push in and then slide. They're typically pretty hard to move.

I believe that the lever with no apparent function is used to set ISO as rogue_designer said and the X/M lever is for setting flash sync. M for flash bulbs and X for electronic flash if I recall correctly.

If I remember correctly, the second one which just pushs in overcomes the lock so you can selct a slow speed outside the meter range and "B". The others have been answered.

Thanks Kim, you're right. I can access the longer exposures once I press that button.
