Turn wind knob until it stops,
pressshutter release,and again
turn wind knob until it stops.
These two winds take up film
leader and advance fresh film
into position. Winding film
also cocks the shutter, pr€-
venting double exposure. Since

load. After fresh fiIm has been
advapced into position, press
counter dial down and turn to
20 (for a 2O
exposure roll) or to
0 (for a 36 exposureroll). The
dial makes a complete revolu-
tion each time you wind the
film, and automatically stops
at the mark indicating the
number of exposures remain-
ing on the film.
