Advancing the Film
Before attempting to advance the film to
the first frame, make sure the R-M Lever is
set to its normal (center) position. If the lever
is set to 'M'(multiple exposure), it will not be
possible to advance the film with the Cock-
ing Lever.
The film can be advanced in either
of two ways.
A. By winding the Film Advance Knob of the
Film Insert until it stops.
B. By activating the Cocking Lever of the
camera body several times, until it stops.
(The lens shutter will not be cocked unless
the Cocking Lever is moved all the way until
it stops.
When the film is completely advanced, the
numeral '1' will appear in the Exposure
Counter, making the first frame ready for
exposure.
While advancing the film form S (start) to 1
with the Cocking Lever, the shutter releas-
ing mechanism is automatically locked until
the film is fully advanced to frame 1.
Since there are vertical and horizontal
exposure counter windows, an upright
numeral can be seen with the Roll Film
Holder in horizontal or vertical position.
