A. Unscrew the set screw on the time exposure lever until further rev-
olution is impossible, which will permit the lever to be moved freely.
* Except for time exposures, always shift the time exposure lever so
that "A" is visible on the lens barrel and keep it locked with the set
screw to prevent accidental movement.
B. Next, cock the shutter with the film-winding crank and then shift
the time exposure lever to the left (looking from the body towards
the lens), which will expose a red-colored "T" on the barrel. The shut-
ter will stay open when the shutter release button is depressed in this
condition. The shutter is closed by shifting the time exposure lever in
the opposite direction and exposing the letter "A" once more.
The lens cannot be attached or detached unless the shutter is cocked. Therefore, first, rotate
the film-winding crank and cock the lens shutter.
A. To attach the lens to the main body, align the orange dot on the
main camera body and the red dot on the lens, and then insert the
lens fully into its mount. Rotate in the counter-clockwise direction
until it stops, with an audible click, which indicates that it is securely
locked.
B. To detach the lens, the film-winding crank must also be rotated to
cock the lens shutter first. Then, press the lens release button down
and, at the same time, rotate the lens in the clockwise direction until
it makes a full stop. At this point it will be possible to detach the lens.
