Testing to See if the Camera Functions Properly
To release the shutter when there is no film in the camera, proceed as follows.
[For detailed instructions on particular points, refer to the page number shown
in parentheses.)
1
.
Insert a battery into the camera (p.21)
.
2. Set the multiple-exposure lever to “MULTI” (p.50).
(If you have just purchased the camera and the vinyl tube is still on the take-up
spool, there is no need to move the multiple-exposure lever.)
3. Set the shutter speed dial to any shutter speed other than the
0
red mark
(p.27)
.
4. Turn the film advance crank until it stops.
5. Align the shutter release lock ring with the white dot and release the shutter
(p.30).
When ready to load the camera with film, return the multiple-exposure lever to
its normal position. If this is not done, the film will not advance.
If the shutter is released without a battery in the camera, the mirror will lock in
the up position. To return the mirror to its normal position, depress the battery
check button (21) as far as it will go.
If the shutter is released with the shutter speed dial set to the red
0
position,
the mirror will lock in the up position. To lower the mirror, turn the shutter speed
dial in either direction (B or 1/1000 sec.).
At times it may be necessary to rotate the film advance crank two full turns to
cock the shutter when an empty take-up spool (without its original vinyl tube) is
in the camera.
