-- FILM LOADING ----------------------------
8
• Always load or unload the film in the shade.
If no shade is available, do it in the shadow
of your own body.
• Whenever po
ssib le , avoid loading and un-
loading in a dusty place
or at the seaside
where strong salty wind may damage the
camera.
• When loading or unloading, take care
not to
touch the shutter curtains.
The 35mm. film
is advanced through rota-
tion
of the sprocket and not by direct winding
of the spool; therefore, the sprocket must
engage
the film 's perforation perfectly. To
check whether the film is advancing properly,
the rewind knob is first turned slightly to take
up any play in the film; then
if the advance
lever is wound
the rewind knob should rotate.
But
if the rewind knob fails to turn, it indicates
that the film is not properly loaded and
requires reloading.
As soon
as you have loaded the camera, be
sure
to adjust the ASA speed indicator (ASA
25-1600) on the shutter speed dial to the ASA
speed
of the film you have loaded. Lift the
shutter speed dial
and rotate it until the
required ASA speed
is opposite the indicator
mark. Setting the ASA speed
is essential to
exposure determination since
the ASA speed
indicator
is cross-cou pled to the meter needle in
the viewfinder, along with the speed dial. If the
ASA speed
is not correctly set, the built-in CdS
exposure meter will
not indicate correct ex-
posure settings.
