FILM LOADIN G --------------------------------------------------------
• Always load or unload the film in the
shade.
If no shade is available, do it in the
shadow
of your own body.
• Whenever possible, avoid loading and un-
loading in a dusty place or
at the seaside
where strong salty wind
is blowing.
•
When loading or unloading, take care not
to touch the
shutter curtains.
The 35mm film is advanced through rotation
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 sl ightly to take
up any pIa), in the film; then if the advance
le\'er
is wound the rewind knob should rotate.
But if the rewind knob fails to
turn it indi-
cates
that the film is not properly loaded and
requires reloading.
As soon as you ha\'e loaded the camera, be
sure to adjust the ASA speed indicator ( ASA
25- l600 ) on the shutter speed dial to the
ASA speed
of the filtl1 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 determinabion since the
ASA speed
indicator
is cross-coupled to the meter
needle in the \'iewfinder,
along with the dia-
phragm and the shutter.
If the ASA speed is
not correctly set, the built-in CdS exposure
meter will not indicate correct exposure
settings.
