Loading Film: Remove camera from case. Open camera back by pushing the locking device. Set film indicator disc 5 to the correct film type and speed. Turn out spool holder and pull hinged spool carrier outward. Insert the film spool, ensuring the narrow end of the backing paper points towards the empty spool. Slip one spool end over the fixed carrier peg, return hinged carrier to engage the second peg, and return spool carrier to its initial position. Tear adhesive tape, pull out backing paper, and insert it into the longer slot of the spool. Adjust backing paper along camera edges and tighten with a few turns of the film winder. Close camera back by pressing firmly until the lock engages. Wind film until warning mark "1" appears for the first exposure.
Opening the Camera: Pressure on the release button causes the lens carrier to slide forward. Assist the baseboard to snap into position if necessary.
Taking a Photo: Hold viewfinder close to eye, survey field of view. Hold camera securely. Slowly depress shutter release. For 1/25 sec., stand fast and press arms to body. Keep camera horizontal.
Before Next Exposure: Turn film winder until next number appears. Close film window.
Closing the Camera: Apply slight pressure on brace joints to fold baseboard. Press firmly on hinged baseboard until it clicks. After the last exposure, wind film until backing paper end passes the film window.
