coded film, you can set the film speed manually. See
page 75.

open the back cover and remove the protective card.
DO NOT TOUCH THE SHUTTER CURTAINS.
1. To open the back cover, slide the back cover release
lever in the direction of the arrow,

• Always load and unload a film in the shade or by using
your body to shade the camera.
