BEFORE FILMING
1° Battery-charge check
Set the master-switch to "Test". Press the three-position power
switch in and look at the pointer in the viewfinder. For an accurate
check, wait for 20 seconds. The pointer should settle above the
index notch (should it not do so charge the battery; see page 33).
Then return the master switch to its original position. This check
should be carried out periodically (25).
2° Loading the camera
Open the camera side door and slip in the film cartridge with its
notches towards the front. Close the door. The reference of the
type of emulsion loaded should be visible through the window.
Press the release button for two seconds to check that the film
is running through properly: the running indicator should move
vertically in the lower notch of the viewfinder. If not, repeat the
loading operation (26).
