Getting Started

Caution --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When opening the rear cover, make sure to hold the rewind knob and pull
it upward. Pulling the rewind crank can bend the rewind shaft.
Take care not to pinch your fingers when closing the rear cover.
Loading film with the lens cap off can result in exposure of unnecessary
frames.
Loading film with the mode dial set to anything other than can fire the
flash or start a long exposure unintentionally.
The film is not loaded correctly if the rewind knob does not rotate when
advancing the film.
The film advance lever does not move when the film is already advanced
or when the entire roll of film has been exposed. Do not forcefully turn it.
Do not forcefully advance the film beyond the designated frames (num-
ber of shots specified for the film × 2). (Example: For 24-shot film, do not
advance it more than 48 frames.) Doing so can tear the film or cause it to
break partway through the roll.
The film counter goes to “72”. The number does not change even if you
advance the film beyond this point.
Film Advance Lever Ready Position---------------------------------------------
If you move the film advance lever
slightly, it stops in a position that
makes it easier to advance the film
(1). Turning it to the right thereafter
advances the film.
When moving from place to place,
make sure to push the film advance
lever all the way to the left so that it
does not become caught on some-
thing and move on its own.
