Opening the camera back
Pull the rewind button (2) up to unlock the camera back (Figure 3). Open the back fully -the frame counter resets
to start position.4www.butkus.org
Loading the film
Place the film cartridge into the cartridge space (25). Push in the rewind button (2); turn it, if necessary.
Thread at /east 1 cm of the film leader into the slit of the take-up spool (27). Then turn the knurled spool plate of
the take-up spool towards the shutter until the sprocket teeth engage the perforations on both sides of the film
(Figure 4).
Closing the camera back
Grip the back in the middle of the latch side and press it against the camera body until it clicks in.
Preparing for shooting
The cocking lever (4) can be swiveled a short way without initiating winding. This ready position is ideal for
shooting fast sequences. Swing the cocking lever fully out, bring it back and release the shutter by pressing the
release button (16). Repeat this as often as is required for the frame counter (5) to read "1 "
Proper film transport can be checked by looking at the rewind button (2): it should turn when the cocking lever (4)
is operated.
Setting the film speed
Lift the film speed dial (1) and turn it until the ISO/ASA film speed printed on the film pack (see the ISO/ASA and
DIN film speed reference table below) faces the index (11); see Figure 5. As a memory aid, you may plug the torn-
off flap of the film pack into the memo holder (32).
ISO/ASA and DIN film speed see table page 16
