I'm ne to the RB and still do not get a Manual. On the side of each lens there is a round knob that can point to 'N' or 'M'. Can anyone help me while I get the Manual?

M--is for mirror up operation when on M you use the shutter release button to release the mirror then use a cable release screwed into the center of the knob to release the shutter

N--is for normal--push the shutter release button and the mirror releases and the shutter fires.

Link to the RB-67 manual very useful

The knob engages the mirror-up mode for vibration free photography. (M)irror-up mode or (N)ormal. Be sure to return the knob to normal after using mirror-up mode.

If you turn the dial to "M" and press the shutter button, the mirror will go up but the lens shutter will not fire. A cable release fits into the "M" button. Use the cable release to fire the shutter. Remember to put the button back to "N" when you're done.

Enjoy your RB!
