If the beeper doesn't signal, the

batteries are inserted incorrectly

or are exhausted.

The batteries will last about one

year and must be replaced with

two 1.5V silver oxide batteries

(SR 44, EPX-76 or equivalent).

Do not press the shutter release

during battery check operation,

or the battery will run down

quickly, leaving the shutter open-

ed. Return the lever to the normal

position.

2. Check the batteries.

Set the control lever to "CHECK".

The beeper emits a tone and the

check lamp glows brightly.

Installing the Batteries

SR 44

(EPX-76,

MS-76 or

equivalent)

Loading the Film

1. Open the camera back and in-

sert the film cartridge. (Dust Bar-

rier is in closed position.)

Never load the film in direct sun-

light.

2. Attach the film end to the

take-up spool.

The film end must not stick out

of the slot excessively.

3. Startwindingthefilm and close

the camera back.

Film perforations must engage

with sprocket teeth and the film

must be drawn flat.

4. Open the Dust Barrier.

If the Dust Barrier is not fully

opened, the shutter cannot be

released.

5. Wind and expose two blank

shots until the exposure counter

shows "1".

The lens should be aimed toward

a bright light when shooting.

6. Set the ASA film speed.

SIMPLE STEPS FOR TAKING PICTURES

Setting the Aperture

1. Open the Dust Barrier and set

the aperture lever ( mark) to the

F-number required.

2. Confirm the shutter speed in

the viewfinder, aiming at the sub-

ject.

(The arrows indicate parallax cor-

rection marks.)

If the shutter speed nee-

dle enters the striped, over-

exposure warning zone,

push the aperture lever

downwardsothatthenee-

dle points to "500" (1/

500sec) orunder.

If the needle points to

"30" (1/30 sec) or under,

be careful not to shake the

camera.

(To make full use of aperture con-

trol,see pages 13 & 14.)

Aperture guideline (ASA 100)

Focusing

3. Looking through the view-

finder, compose and focus.

If the subject distance is 0.85 ~

1 meter (2.8 ~ 3.3 feet), frame

the subject in the area under the

2 parallax correction marks.

Turn

the

focusing

lever

until

the

double image in the central rec-

tangle fuses into one. Focusingcan

lightly press the shutter release.

The release requires a minimum of

finger pressure, reducing chance of
