Draw out the end of the leader
paper of the film, inserting the tip
into the slit of the take-up spool.
If the spool is not in the proper
position or the leader paper of the
film is not correctly inserted into
the take-up spool slit, film winding
cannot be operated properly or
smoothly
.
Wind the film advance lever
(R-1) gradually until the start mark
on the leader paper aligns with
the start marks (R-11) on the holder.
Close the back cover and push
in the back cover latch, keeping
the back cover pressed to the
holder
.
When the back cover is closed,
the start marks will be slightly
separated; however, this implies
no bad effect whatsoever.
As the film advance lever is carefully wound, figure “1” appears in the
film counter window and the lever stops winding. Even before figure “1”
appears in the film counter window, a heavy drag may be felt; however,
continue winding until the lever actually stops. Now the first film frame
is ready to be exposed
Photographing
Attach the loaded roll film holder to
the camera body.
Pull out the dark slide (R-6); now,
start taking photographs,
After each exposure, by moving
the film wind-stop release lever (R-7)
in the direction of the arrow, the film
can be advanced by turning the film
advance lever.
Since the film will not advance far
enough with only one stroke of the film
advance lever, turn the lever until it
stops at the second stroke. Winding
may be accomplished by moving the
lever with several short, definite
strokes until the lever stops, although
never wind the lever too rapidly.
After all frames have been exposed, move the wind-stop release
lever (R-7) once, then continue turning the film advance lever until you
feel tension on the advance lever lessen as the leader end of the film
slips off the spool, finally turning it freely in the take-up chamber. Now
open the back cover and remove the film.
Fully insert the dark slide when the roll film holder is to be detached
or when the lens is interchanged before completing a roll of film,
Without a film loaded, turning the film advance lever will not advance
the film counter which remains at the start (S) mark. When some other
mark is visible in the film counter window, it is your assurance that a film
is loaded.
