Next, cock the shutter by moving the
cocking lever in the direction of the
arrow at the top of illustration A. Push
it over until it locks and the red dot on
the back of the lever shows. Now trip
the body release lever ( bottom arrow,
illustration A) on the front of the camera by pulling outward ( away from the shutter )
as far as it will go. This lever first releases the film wind interlock and then the shutter
tripping interlock. If the film interlock is released but the body release is not moved
far enough to trip the shutter before it returns to the normal ( vertical ) position the
shutter will have to be tripped directly ( see page 7) or the film will have to be wound
so that the body release can be used normally.
5. Turn film winding knob again in direction of arrow until it locks. The special spacing
mechanism in your Graphic 35 prevents
the possibility of tearing the film at the
sprocket since after the proper length
of film has been advanced the winding
knob is locked and cannot be over-
turned.
