3. Loading the Camera
The camera is loaded at usual lighting. To load the camera:
1. Open the back cover of the camera, pulling the latch of the lock
upwards.
2. Fix the end of the film under the take-up spool spring and hook a
sprocket hole on the spool protrusion. See that the film be placed correctly
between the film channel slides.
3. Place the cassette into its seat, having pulled the film rewind knob
upwards.
4. Return the rewind knob to its initial position and fix it in this position by turning it in the arrow
direction.
5. Close the back cover and press down the lock latch.
6. Cock the shutter, turning the shutter setting lever to the stop, then press the release button.
As the lever turns, the film moves by one shot.
To transport nonexposed film to the film gate, cock the shutter three times pressing the release
button after each cocking.
Note. While cocking the shutter, see if the film rewind knob rotates. If not check whether the
camera is correctly loaded with film.
7. Turning the exposure counter dial in any direction set the figure “0” against the index dot on the
ring.
Set the exposure counter when the shutter is cocked.
4. Setting the Film Sensitivity
The film sensitivity scale has figures 16, 32, 65, 130, 250, 500 showing film speed in GOST-ASA
units and on the opposite side of it there are figures 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28 showing the film speed in
DIN grades. The film sensitivity scale has two dots marked under figure 32: the left-hand one
corresponds to film speed of 25 GOST-ASA units and the right-hand one — to 32 GOST-ASA units.
Figures of the film sensitivity scale are seen in the windows of the
diaphragm scale of the calculator, which has setting indexes. To set the film
speed (for example 65 units of GOST-ASA) turn the diaphragm scale until
the setting index is aligned with scale division 65.
The same procedure should be followed in setting sensitivity, if the film
is marked in DIN grades.
