Immediately after the shutter operation, the advance lever is again in ready position.
è Be sure that the safety lock lever is set at "A".
è The winding may be done by moving the lever with several short strokes.
è After loading the film, make another wind, since there is the possibility of the very first winding not catching.
è Unless the winding is completed, the shutter will not be actuated, even though the shutter button is pressed. In such a case, check the
winding once more.
Film Counter
Each winding of film will advance the number of the film counter, indicating the number of pictures taken. When the back cover is
opened, the indicator automatically returns to starting position " S ".
Safety Device for Shutter
When the safety lock lever around the shutter button is turned to " L" position, the shutter is locked and will not move. This device may
be used when the camera is carried in a wound condition.
Attaching the Cable Release
A cable release can be attached to the shutter button. Even if the safety lock lever is at " L" position, the shutter will operate by using the
release.
When using the cable release, be sure to close the eyepiece shutter before shooting. Refer to instructions on page 29.
