Attaching a Lens with Shutter Released or Mirror Raised
When a lens is removed from the camera
body, the mirror is set (lowered) and the lens
shutter cocked. Conversely, when attaching
a lens, the same conditions should prevail
(mirror set and shutter cocked). However,
should a lens be attached with either the mir-
ror raised or shutter released, or both, the
camera can be reset by following the proce-
dures below.
1. If the mirror is raised (regardless of whether
the lens shutter is cocked or released), simply
depress the Cocking Lever to reset the
camera.
2. If mirror is set and lens shutter released
(closed), remove the Dark Slide from Film
Holder and depress the Shutter Release
Button (film will not be exposed). Next,
depress the Cocking Lever to reset the
camera.
3. When a lens is removed from the camera
both the mirror and the lens shutter are
cocked, or they can't be separated. Else-
where we explained how to uncock both.
(For storage, for instance).
4. To rejoin them both have to be in a cocked
state. To cock the camera (lowering the
mirror), just activate the film advance lever,
To cock lens shutter, follow instructions
supplied with lenses.
