Film-Advance Lever
The film-advance lever simultaneously advances the film,
cocks the shutter and operates the frame counter. It also
switches on the exposure meter in the Photomic finder. To
advance the film, stroke the lever with the right thumb in a
single stroke (or series of strokes) totaling only 120°. A built-
in locking device prevents the shutter from being released
unless it is fully cocked and the film advanced a full frame.
At the completion of film advance, release the lever and it
will return to the 20° standoff position ready for shutter re-
lease.
Note: Do not apply pressure to the film-advance lever while mak-
ing an exposure.
Frame Counter
The frame counter operates automatically to show how many
frames have been exposed. When the camera back is opened
for loading, the counter is reset to the “S” (start) position, two
frames before “0”. Once the camera is loaded and the back
closed, each film-advance/ shutter-release sequence will cause
the frame counter to advance one position until the maximum
20 or 36 frames have been exposed. The dial of the frame
counter is calibrated with dots (for odd numbers) and figures
(for even numbers), and with settings of “S.” “12,” “20” and
“36” in red.
