alternatively, match the red (!) mark on the Depth of Field Scale to the red dot on the
camera body. (Fig. 5)
2. When the lens has engaged, turn it in the direction of the arrow until it clicks into place.
(clockwise)
(Fig. 6)
* For convenience when mounting the lens in the dark, you can line up the Lens Locator
Node with the Lens Release Lever.
INSERTING THE BATTERIES
* When the voltage of the batteries is getting low, the BAT ( Battery Low Warning Signal) in
the Viewfinder will blink on and off. Please change the batteries without delay.
INSERTING THE FILM
The exposure meter and shutter of this camera are
powered by batteries. so it is important to insert the
batteries correctly for correct operation.
1. Remove the Battery Compartment Cover by turning it
counterclockwise with a coin. (Fig. 7)
2. Place the two batteries on top of each other as shown
in the illustration in the battery holder of the Battery
Compartment Cover. (Fig. 8) Batteries for use, Two LR-44
Alkaline batteries; life-span about 6 months under normal
use. Two SR-44 Silver Oxide batteries: life-span about 12
months under normal use. (Mallory MS76. Eveready S76
or equivalent)
* Since dirt or skin oils on the batteries may cause a bad
contact, wipe the batteries clean with a dry cloth before
inserting them.
* When your camera is not used for a long period of time.
remove the batteries.4www.butkus.org
* Generally. in cold conditions. the voltage of the batteries
decreases and this will impair the functioning of the
shutter and exposure meter. In these cases, either warm
up the batteries or keep a spare set of batteries warm in
your pocket ready to insert just before shooting.
* If no batteries are inserted. if they are incorrectly
inserted, or if they are worn out. the camera will not
operate. If the camera will not operate check that the
batteries are installed correctly. If they are the batteries
are probably dead. Replace them with new batteries.

snaps open. (Fig. 9)
2. Insert the film in the Film Chamber and push the Film
Rewind Knob down to its former position.
(Fig. 10)
3. Insert the film leader into the slit on the Film Take-up
Spool. (Fig. 11)4www.butkus.org
4. Advance the film, making sure that the sprocket holes
on the film are fully engaged on the Sprocket Teeth.
(Fig. 12)
5. Close and press the Back Cover firmly to lock it. Unfold the
Film Rewind Crank and turn it gently in the direction of the
arrow until the slack in the film has been taken up (Fig. 13)
6. Advance the film and press the Shutter Release
Button a few times until the number "1''appears in the
Exposure Counter. As you advance the Film Advance
Lever, the Film Rewind Knob rotates indicating that the
film is properly advancing. (Fig. 14)

SETTING THE FILM SPEED
* When inserting the film. it is more convenient to set the
Shutter Speed Dial to a high speed rather than A (Auto)
while advancing the film to the number 1 position. to
avoid a slow shutter speed (the slowest is 16 seconds).
When you are ready for shooting. be sure to set the
Shutter Speed Dial back to A (Auto).
* When inserting the film in cold conditions, the Film
Leader may become hard and brittle. Keep the leader
warm in your hand before insertion.
The film speed is the basic element for determining the
exposure, so please be sure to set the film speed correctly.
The film speed or ASA/D!N is listed on the film box.
Pull the Film Speed Indicator outer ring up, and set it against
the film speed number you are using. (Fig. 15)
For example. if the film speed is ASA 100, set the indicator on
the Film Speed Dial to 100.

The Shutter Speed. Slow Shutter and Long Time Exposure indications are always present in the
viewfinder. The information shown by the activated (Meter-ON) liquid crystal relates to exposure
data for the existing lighting conditions.
* In cold conditions the response speed of the liquid crystal may get slower. This is due to
the nature of the liquid crystal. and not to any camera malfunction.
* When using a polarizing filter, depending on the angle of rotation, there may be cases in
which you cannot see the liquid crystal indicators.

by turning the Focusing Ring.
You can focus either by using the center Split-image Spot or the
Microprism Image Band that surrounds the center circle. (Fig. 24.
25) Split-image Focusing
When the split image in the Split-image Spot forms a single
image, the subject is in focus.
Microprism Focusing

film.
1. Push-in the Film Rewind Release Button on the bottom of the
camera, and it will remain locked into position. (Fig. 26)
2. Unfold the Film Rewind Crank and turn it in the direction of the

Lever sometimes gets stuck midway and the Film Rewind Release
Button cannot be locked in the down position. If this should happen.
rewind the film by keeping the Film Rewind Release Button pressed
down with your finger.
This camera has an AE Lock system. When shooting against the
light on automatic exposure. the difference in the brightness of the
background and the subject means that you cannot obtain a correct
exposure of the subject. In this case, you should use the AE Lock
which retains the exposure of the subject regardless of the changes
in the background lighting conditions. The exposure will not change
until you cancel the AE Lock.4www.butkus.org
1. Move up close to the subject to measure the exposure. and press
the AE Lock. The Shutter Speed Indicator in the viewfinder will
pulsate to indicate that the exposure is locked onto the object. (Fig.
29)
2. Compose the picture and shoot.
The AE Lock is then automatically cancelled after that picture.
3. If you wish to cancel the AE Lock before pressing the Shutter
Release Button, press the AE Lock Button again.

by the background light than the light of the subject itself. This will
result in under (or over) exposed pictures.
In these cases. you should use the Exposure Adjustment system.
You can also use the system when you wish to create a deliberate
effect of over (or under) exposure.
1. Turn the Film Exposure Compensation Dial to set the required
number against the Exposure Compensation Index Line. (Fig. 30)

SELF-TIMER PHOTOGRAPHY AND USAGE OF THE VIEWFINDER CAP
Take the second exposure.
Repeat actions 3. & 4. if you wish to continue adding exposures to
the frame. At this time. the Exposure Counter will not advance.
* Better results can generally be obtained by taking subjects that
include a large area of darker parts.
* When multi-exposure shots are not required, be sure to slide the
ME Lock Lever back into normal position.
It is better to inform the camera shop that you have taken multiple
exposures when you take your film for printing. as sometimes they do
not print these pictures, mistaking them for accidental double
exposures.
The self-timer enables you to include yourself in your own
photographs for commemorative occasions etc.
