Set the shutter speed dial to B (bulb) position. Turn the ASA dial to ASA 100. Look at the meter needle through the
viewfinder. If the needle is in "up" position and remains steady, the battery is good: if it does not, replace the battery.
Check the battery frequently. And take spares with you when traveling.4www.butkus.org
BASIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.TURN ON LIGHT METER
Remove the lens cap and the meter circuit is on. The CdS cells measure the
light coming through the lens for correct exposure.
2.SET FILM SPEED
Lift the outer ring of the shutter speed dial and turn it until the same number as
the ASA number of the film you're using appears next to the small oragne
index alongside the figure 1.
3.SET SHUTTER SPEED
Turn the shutter speed dial and set the speed you wish to use to the index.
Generally, you should use the fastest possible shutter speed to avoid blurred
pictures caused by camera movement. Try starting with 1/125 sec. outdoors in
daylight and 1/60 sec. indoors.
4.COMPOSE AND FOCUS
While viewing through the viewfinder, turn the focusing ring until your subject
comes into sharp focus.
5.ROTATE DIAPHRAGM RING
The needle moves as you turn the diaphragm ring. When the needle on the
right side of the viewfinder image is at the center, you will get correct
exposure. If the needle does not come to the center no matter how far you turn
the diaphragm ring, change the shutter speed. When the needle is close to the
(+) mark, you will get an over-exposure; change the shutter speed to a faster
setting. If the needle is closer to the (-) mark, you will get an under-exposure;
change the shutter speed to a slower setting.
6.RELEASE SHUTTER
Cock the rapid-wind lever. Hold your camera firmly and trip the shutter. Then
cock the rapid-wind lever for the next picture. (When taking a series of
pictures under the same lighting conditions, it is not necessary to repeat
