Basic Operation
This seetion describes the steps you must take
to
make the camera ready
to
use. You will find
comprehensive information
on
how to operate
the camera
in
the following sections.
With the camera, lens, and film magazine un-
wrapped but unassembled, ensure that the
camera
is
cocked (i.e. the mechanism
is
fully
wound), otherwise the circular front protective
cover cannot be removed. The winding crank
on
the right hand side of the camera
is
locked
if
the
mechanism
is
fully wound.
If
the crank
is
not
locked, rotate
it
clockwise until
it
does lock.
Front Protective Cover
Turn the cover (bayonet fitting)
in
the direction of
the arrow and remove.
NOTE: The front protective cover may only be
removed when the camera
is
cocked (fully
wound).
Rear Protective Cover
Depress the catch, tilt the cover backwards, and
lift it off.
Attaching the Lens
Make sure that both camera and lens are fully
cocked. The adjacent illustration shows the cor-
rect relationship between the drive shaft, the lens
drive coupling and their indexes.
If
the lens
is
not cocked,
you
can
insert a coin
in
the coupling slot and rotate
it
clockwise until it
locks (about 4/5 of a turn) .
