I recently purchased a Sinar P2 8x10 and I have a few questions regarding some features I am not familiar with. Hoping someone can identify them.
The first thing is is a small knob with a freely moving black metal tab on the very bottom right of the back of the camera. It's not on the film back but on the camera body between the back and the bellows. The "knob" doesn't seem to turn, but the metal tab moves easily. Pic below.

The second thing is a silver latch that resides in the middle left of the camera back (when in vertical orientation. It would be mid top in horizontal mode). It actually resides within in the opening slot of the back.
This latch freely moves. Pic below.

Lastly is the small hole and knob on the lower right corner of the front standard. I am assuming it is for a lens accessory (shutter or cable). Pic below.

I'd appreciate any insight to these features, and apologize for appearing dimwitted if these things are obvious to you Sinar experts.
