NOTE
Wipe
off any dust or dirt that might
accumu late on the touch switch with a clean
dry
cloth. This will insure good contact and
proper operation.
Cold-weather operation
Batteries by nature tend to lose power as
temperature drop. While the alkaline-manganese
batteries will meet all requirements under nor-
mal
conditions, for heavy sustained cold-weath-
er operation (approx. -10 °C) it is recommend-
ed that silver-:oxide type batteries (Eveready
EPX-76/S-76
or equivalent) be used.
Regardless
of which battery type used,
remember to always use fresh batteries and
keep a spare set with you when using your
camera in cold-weather.
LOADING AND ADVANCING FILM
After you have not used your camera for
some time, check the Safe Load Signal and
frame counter to be sure that there is no film in
the camera. If the camera is unloaded, proceed
as follows:
1. Pull out on the back cover release knob
until the camera back springs open.
