CAMERA HOLDING
As a general rule, your camera should be held more firmly in the left hand, which
does not release the shutter. If you hold your camera with the right hand - the
hand that releases the shutter it may cause camera movement. Often, blurred
pictures are due to camera movement.
FILM UNLOADING
After the final picture on the roll has been taken, the
rapid wind lever will not turn, indicating that the
film must be rewound. Lift the rewind crank up.
Depress the film rewind release button and turn the
rewind crank as indicated to rewind the film into its
cassette. Rewind until the tension on the crank
lessens, indicating that the leader end of the film has
been released from the take-up spool. Pull out the
film rewind knob (the back will open automatically),
and remove the film cassette.
AVOID DIRECT LIGHT WHEN UNLOADING THE
FILM.
SELF-TIMER
The self-timer delays shutter release between 5 and 13 seconds,
depending upon how far counter-clockwise you have turned the
cocking lever. When using the self-timer, do not depress the
shutter release button...it will immediately release the
shutter without delayed action. Turn the cocking lever down
90°--i80°. Move the small light-colored self-timer start lever as
indicated . . . the self-timer will start. This self-timer also has an
interrupt function. Even after the self-timer has started to run,
you can stop it by moving the start lever back to normal
position, as long as the cocking lever has not been moved back
past the 90° position. You can re-start the self-timer by pushing
the cocking lever down again and moving the start lever again.
Do not leave the cocking lever in "interrupt" position for an
extended period, as this may weaken the spring.
