Pentax P5 - Film-Wind Lever

FILM WIND LEVER
"Shutter-cocked" indication
Before the wind lever is cocked,
the sign flickers in the LCD
window, but it disappears when
the lever is cocked.
Exposure counter
The scale is indexed as follows:
S* • 0 • 4 •.• 20 • . . ..
24 • . . . • 36.
Interlocked with the film wind
mechanism, this counter indicates
the number of exposed frames.
Setting the wind lever for rapid shooting
The film wind lever can be set at the stand-off
position for faster film advance. Even if you
remove your thumb from the lever, it remains at
the stand-off angle, ready for the next quick shot.
After completing a series of pictures, the lever
should be pushed in to the original position.
Film advance stroke
The film wind lever should be thrown as far as it
goes.
Note: The wind lever may stop in the middle of
a stroke when the film comes to its end. Do not
force the lever and rewind the film, leaving
the lever as it is.
