1. Press the shutter cocking lever down
fully.
2. Turn the bayonet ring counterclock-
wise, aligning its red mark with the lens
mounting mark (4) on the body, and
remove
the lens.
If you attempt to remove the lens with
the mirror in the up position, the camera
safety interlock mechanism is engaged
which does not permit the lens bayonet
ring from turning fully to the dismount
position. Cocking the camera, which
lowers the mirror and protects the film
plane fram accidental light leak, disen-
gages this safety mechanism permitting
lens removal easily.
It is advisable to release the shutter
when the lens is not to be used for
several days or longer.
Releasing the Shutter:
To release a lens shutter which is
removed
from the camera body, turn the
cocking pins (34) clockwise, while press-
ing the shutter lock pin (33) with a
finger . The cocking pins should be
turned all the way, do NOT leave the
pins turned only halfway .
