Canon FT QL - Film Winding; Frame Counter

The film advance lever winds the film, cocks the shutter,
and prepares the aperture and mirror for the next shutter
release all in one motion.
1 Turn the film advance lever until it stops. The film
* will be advanced one frame and the shutter cocked.
The frame counter is simultaneously advanced to the
next number.
O When the shutter release button is pressed, the mirror
^ flips up, the diaphragm simultaneously closes down
to the pre set f/stop and the shutter operates. After the
shutter is operated, the advance lever can be wound for
the next frame.
■ Be sure that the safety lock lever is set at "A".
■ Winding may be done by moving the lever with several
short strokes.
■ After loading the film, make another wind, since the
first winding may not be complete.
■ The shutter will not function when pressing the shutter
release button unless the winding is completed. In such
a case, check the winding once more.
Frame Counter
Each winding will advance the number of the frame
counter, indicating the number of pictures taken. When

returns to starting oosition "S".
