will accept any type of 3S-millimeter film, either color or black and white, preloaded in
standard cassettes.
TO LOAD YOUR GAMERA
1. Pull down the camera back latch (14). This will release the camera back, which can
then be swung open to the right.
2. Pull out the rewind crank (13) as far as possible (Fig. 1).
3. Place a cassette containing film in the film cassette chamber (15) with the knob end
toward the bottom of the camera. Push down the rewind crank (13) so that its spindle
engages the cassette, making certain that the crank hub is fully seated. If the spindle fails to
engage properly, turn the crank slightly. Pull out about four inches of film. Fold about a
quarter-inch of the end inward, toward the dull emulsion side, with the crease formed at
one of the perforations (Fig. 2).
4. Turn the film take-up spool (17) with your thumb so that the grooved portion faces
toward you. Hook the folded end of the film in this recess, with the perforation at the
a
crease engaging the little metal tab on the spool. While holding the hooked end of the
film securely against the take-up spool, operate the cocking lever (1) so that the film winds
onto the spool for about one turn (Fig. 3).
5. Next, while holding the cassette in position, turn the rewind crank (13) in the direc-
tion of the arrow to take up all slack inside the cassette (Fig. a).
6. Opearte the cocking lever (1) or turn the take-up spool (17) with your thumb, taking
up a little of the film. This will show you whether or not the sprocket (16) is engaging the
perforations on the lower side of the film. The rewind crank (13) should turn counterclock-
wise against the arrow mark, and the film should play smoothly out of its cassette. Close
the camera back, and press down to lock.
7. Next, apply the tip of your thumb to the film counter adjustment (4), and turn
in the direction indicated by the arrow to set the film counter at one of the two " S "
marks. With a 20-exposure roll of film, use the " S " three steps ahead of the numeral
20. With 36-exposure film, use the starting mark three steps ahead of numeral 36.
8. Cover the lens with the lens cap. Operate both the cocking lever (1) and the shutter
release (2) three times so that the film counter (3) indicates either number 20 or 36, the
number of exposures available on your roll of film.
POINTS TO NOTE
1) The film counter is numbered in reverse sequence, and indicates the number of
exposures remaining on your roll of film.
2) Toward the end of its stroke, the cocking lever (1) will become slightly harder
to move. At this points the film is being advanced one frame. Continue operation

to the end of tfre fuit stroke. The lever will then return to its starting position.
.s 3) When the full stroke of the cocking lever (1) has been completed, the film has
been advanced one frame, and the shutter has been cocked. Normally, the cocking
r->\ lever will remain locked until the shutter release (2) is pressed. But on rare occasions

the cocking lever may become unlocked by partial operation of the shutter release. In
this case a frame of film will be wasted if the cocking lever is operated. This is not a
G malfunction of your camera.

d.
'f^, 5) If when operating the cocking lever (1) the rewind crank (13) fails to turn
against the arrow it means that the film is not being taken up properly.
'ss.. When this happenes,
counterclockwise
rewind the film into its cassete (as explained later), and repeat
(o

S the rewind crank (13) in the direction of the arrow. A slight resistance indicates the
\J presence of film. Do not wind any further.

U, .{ have loaded. To set the lever, gently press downward, and shift to the desired ASA
setting. Do not press the shutter release (2) when making this adjustment. Once.

FIOLDING YOUR CAMERA
Your camera may be used in either a horizontal or vertical position. Any comfortable grip
will do as long as the camera is kept steady when the shutter is released.
Normally, the hand that is not operating the shutter release should act as the main
support, and camera movement, and make certain that the lens and photocell (9) are not
obstructed by your fingers or the cover of the camera case.
compensation. The focusing mechanism automatically shifts the viewfinder frame so that
your subject is always properly centered in the camera field. There is no fear of lopping off
portions of your subject.
