* Remove the batteries when the camera is not used for extended periods.
* Make it a rule to carry spare batteries with you on long trips.
* Do not throw batteries into a fire or attempt to take them apart. THIS IS DANGEROUS. Also keep batteries
out of reach of small children.
Film Loading
Always use a standard 35 mm film cartridge (12, 20, 24 or 36
exposure roll). Avoid direct sunlight when loading film.
1. Open the camera back by pulling the film rewind knob all the
way out.
2. Place the film cartridge in the film chamber. Then, push the
rewind knob back in, turning it slightly until it falls into position,
if necessary.
3. Draw out the film leader and insert the tip into any slot on the
take-up spool.
(4) Advance the film slightly with the film advance lever until the
perforations on both sides of the film engage the sprocket teeth. If
necessary, trip the shutter for blank shots and keep advancing the film until
both rows of perforations engage the sprocket. Close the camera back and
Dress until it locks into place.
<Film Advance Lever> Use one full stroke of the film advance lever to
advance the film. The electromagnetic shutter release will not function
unless the lever is given a full stroke. The film advance lever is easier to I
operate if it is kept in the standoff position (20 degree arc)
5. Unfold the rewind crank and turn it gently in the direction of the arrow to
take up film slack.
