SIMPLIFIED GUIDE FOR USING YOUR
CAMERA
1. Installing Batteries (Fig. A)
2. Set the Power/Flash switch lever to the ON position
(Fig. B)
3. Automatic Film Loading (Release shutter 3 times)
(Fig. C)
4. Be Sure to Direct AF Frame at Your Subject (Fig. D)
5. Release the Shutter (Fig. E)
6. Automatic Film Rewind
(Fig. F)
7. Remove the Exposed Film
(Fig. G)
1. Put a small coin in the groove and turn it as illustrated to
open the Battery Cap (Fig. 1). Place two 1.5 V "AA" size
alkaline batteries (LR-6) into the battery compartment so
as to correspond with the positive (+) and negative (--)
marks shown inside (Fig. 2).
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
NOTE:
* If you do not intend to use your
camera for a long period of time,
remove the batteries and store them in
a dry location. This will prevent the
possibility of battery leakage and
damage to your camera. Do not use Ni-
Cad batteries. Be sure to replace both
batteries at the same time when the
batteries are too weak to operate the
camera. When replacing the batteries,
make sure they are not wet. If so, wipe
it with cloth before use.ww w.4. but kus.org
BATTERY TESTING
1. Set the Power/Flash Switch
Lever to the ON position (Fig. 3)
2. Cover the exposure metering
window with your hand and press
the shutter release button halfway
(Fig. 4).
3. Make sure the under-exposure
warning LED (red) lights up (Fig.
5). If the red LED fails to
illuminate, the batteries are too
weak and need to be replaced.
NOTE: * When the Power/Flash
Switch Lever is in the OFF
position the shutter will be
blocked. As temperature
decreases, especially below 0°C
(32°F) battery performance
declines. Keep batteries warmed
under these conditions.
AUTOMATIC FILM SPEED SETTING
The film speed is automatically set when using a DX-coded film of
ISO 100/21° - 1000/31 Non-DX films will be set to ISO 100/21° (Fig. 6).
AUTOMATIC FILM LOADING
Always load and unload your camera in subdued light, and never in
direct sunlight.
1. Slide the film door closure latch in the direction of the arrow and lift
up the closure as illustrated to open the back cover (Fig. 7).www.4.but kus.org
2. Insert a film cartridge into the film chamber (Fig. 8).
3. Align the trimmed end of the film on the take-up spool with the
yellow film tip mark. When loading film, make sure that the film
lies flat between the film guides. Engage the perforation of the film
with the teeth of the sprocket (Fig. 9). Close the back cover as
illustrated (Fig. 10).
4. Set to the Power/Flash Switch Lever to ON position and release the
shutter button three times until the figure 1" appears in the frame
counter (Fig. 11). The camera is now properly loaded.
NOTE:
* If the film counter does not function, the film is not properly
advancing. Open the back cover and re-load the camera. When
inserting film cartridge, make sure they are not wet. If so, wipe it with
cloth before use.
4. Cartridge Window
This camera is equipped with a convenient
Cartridge Window so that you can check what
type of film is in use (Fig. 12).
HOLDING THE CAMERA
Hold the camera firmly in both hands with at least
one elbow at your side to ensure camera
steadiness when taking a picture.
