  • Loading Film: Do not load film under bright light. Rewind film fully. Familiarize yourself with loading instructions. Open back cover by depressing release lock (P). Pull up Rewinding Knob (H) as far as it will go. Load film magazine, release rewind knob. Take up slack by rewinding. Wind film using the Film Advance Lever (O) until the Exposure Counter (J) shows "O".
  • Automatic EE Operation: Instruct the camera with film sensitivity (ASA rating) by turning the dial to match the ASA figure in the exposure meter. Align the 'A' on the diaphragm ring with the 'A' on the shutter speed ring for EE shooting.
  • Manual Operation: Disengage the automatic EE mechanism by rotating the letter A on the diaphragm ring to select any aperture and shutter speed combination.
  • Focusing: Look through the viewfinder and turn the focusing ring until the subject is sharp. Focus using the split-image distance scale or ground glass.
  • When Roll is Exposed: Exposure Counter stops automatically. Depress rewind release button on the bottom to free the film sprocket wheel. Rewind film until it is free of the take-up sprocket and spool. Remove exposed film by reversing loading procedure.
