Function
The film is moved by a spring drive using a single registration pin, which allows both double and single-perforated film. The camera can record up to 30 seconds of film per wind-up. The framerate can be adjusted on the AC side, and the K-2 can record between 8 and 48 fps. The camera also has a single frame mode, using a flexible trigger cable at the rear side of the camera.This camera had an internal cassette in the magazine, which could fit 100 ft of a 16 mm film spools. This way the film could be replaced without risking light leaks.
A butterfly two-blade shutter opens at 150° and provides over a mirror system an exact replica of the recorded frame to the eyepiece. The viewfinder also has a built-in lightmeter, which gives an approximate light measuring of the whole frame.
The camera could be attached to a tripod using a standard 3/8 "screw or to a pistol grip with a shoulder rest for handheld shooting.
The Krasnogorsk-2 has a Krasnogorsk Bayonette mount, which adapted to the following lenses:
The camera weighs 6.7 lbs without accessories.
