aged when the
lens is attached.
Also
make
sure the diaphragm
is
cocked.
The slot
(A)
on the head
of the
cocking
shaft
should
point
to the red dot
(B).
(Also
see
'Dia-
phragm
cocking'
for
details
on the
cock-
ing of released lenses.)
Align
the
red
triangle at
the
rear of
the
lens
with the
red
dot
(O)
on the
camera
lens
mount
(Fig.
11). Then
carefully
insert
the
lens into
the
camera
lens
mount and
rotate
the lens clockwise
one-fifth
of
furn-using
gentle pressure-until
the
lens
locks
in
place
with an audible
click.
N ever
press
on the button
f
or cross cou-
pling
of shutter and diaphragm
(20)
while
changing
lenses, since
this could cause
damage
to the cross-coupling
mechanism.
C lenses
C lenses
are attached
and
removed
in
the
same manner
as F
lenses.
Diaphragm
cocking
(Fig.
12)
F
lenses
When
an F lens is
attached to
the camera,
the diaphragm
mechanism
in the
lens
is
automatically
cocked at the same time
as
the film
is
advanced with
the
folding
crank
(2).
Make
sure the
diaphragm
is
cocked
before
a
lens is
attached
to the
camera.
The dia-
phragm
is
cocked
when
the slot
(A)
on
the head
of the
cocking shaft
points
to
the
red
dot
(B).
If
the lens
has been
off
the
camera and
the
diaphragm inad-
vertently
released
the
diaphragm
must
be
recocked
before the lens
can
be reattached
to
the
camera.
The
diaphragm is
cocked
by
rotating
the
cocking shaft
clockwise, using
e.g. a coin
of
suitable size in the shaft
slot
(A),
slight-
ly less
than one full
turn until
the shaft
stops
in
the cocked
position.
(This
proce-
dure should
be
carried
out
with
great
caution so that
the
coin
or
any
other
device
used to cock
the shaft
does
not
skip out
of
the slot and
damages
the
rear
lens
element.)
Note: The
same
cocking
procedure
is
also
employed
for
extension
tubes.
C
lenses
The shutter
and diaphragm
of
C lenses are
cocked
in
the same manner
as
in
F
lenses.
BATTERY
(Fig.
L3)
The electronics responsible
for shutter
timing are
powered
by
a
6
V baittery
(e.9.
PX-28).
Batteries marked with
a
lower voltage
must
not be used.
Loading
or
replacing
battery
-
Pull out the battery
oassette.
-
Insert
the battery with the
(
*
)
terminal
facing the
(

)
marking in the cassette.
-
To avoid inserting a battery
rin
a me-
chanically
trriggered
cam,ex&, depress the
slotted
mirror
program
disc
(

and
rotate
the film
advance crank
(2)
a full
turn.
(If
a
battery
is inserted in a mechan-
i,cally
triggered camera,
the I'ife of the
battery
will
be
dnastically reduced.)
-
Reinsert
the cassette
containing
the
battery
in the cftmera.
A fre'sh
battery
of the
above
type should
last
for
at
least 20,000
exposures.
Check
regularly
to ensure that
the battery
is
not leaking.
To
prevent
the leakage
which
sometimes
occurs
after
protracted
storage,
change
the
battery at
least
once
a
year.
