       Attach the view finder by inserting  it until it firmly clicks on the

                ' When detaching the lens from the camera, pull the lens towards you
             straightly not to turn  it forcibly.

Inserting Batteries
1.Turn the battery chamber lid (18) counterclockwise using a coin
   or something similar.
2.Two LR44 type alkaline batteries or two SR44 type silver batter-
   ies are used with camera.
3.Place the batteries so that both positive(+)sides are at the bot-
  tom of the compartment.
4.Turn the battery chamber  lid clockwise until  it close firmly.
Battery Check
1.Move the film advance lever (4) to the ready position.
2.Lightly press the shutter release button(3). Now the exposure
  metering system is switched on. When one of three LED lamps  (o  , > or <  )lights,then battery condition is satisfactory.lf no  g@6
  lamp lights,the batteries need replacing or have been loaded
   incorrectly.
3.Renew both batteries as necessary.
4.When not using of the camera, always return the film advance
   lever to the original position to prevent accidentally releasing the
   shutter.
Caution:Keep  batteries away from infants and small children. In case a bat-
   tery is  accidentally swallowed,  call a doctor immediately as the material
  inside the batteries can cause serious oroblems.

Loading Film
1. To open the camera back(24), pull Film rewind knob (11)out.
  When the back cover opens,the frame counter(5) automaticallly
   resets to "S".
2. Insert the film cartridge into the film chamber so that the project-
   ing end of  the film cartridge is downward.Do this in a place
  away from direct sunlight.
3. Fold out and lift up the film rewind crank(lO). Then rotate the
  crank carefully while push in  it down lightly until the film locks on
  the film rewind fork(20).
4. return the film rewind knob to its original position.
5. Insert the film leader into the groove of the film takeup spool
  (26) and place  it so that the film perforations engage with the
  spool teeth.
6. Check that the film pedorations engage properly with the teeth
  of Film sprockets (27) and the film slides smoothly along the
   film guide rails (19) by operating lightly the film advance lever
   (4) to advance the film.
Caution: Do not touch the shutter curtains.
7.f urn the film rewind crank gently in the direction of the arrow to
   properly tension the loaded film.Stop turning the crank when  it
  becomes  stiff, and return the crank to its original position.
S.Gently close the back cover and push  it until  it clicks.

FILMSPEED SETTING
 l.Filmspeed in indicated on the outside of film package,in the film
   instructions or on the film cartridge.
2.set Filmspeed setector Diat(12) so that Filmspeed index(9) indi-
  cates the varue on Firmspeed serector Diar corresponding to
  the film used. For exampre, if firmspeed shown on the firm is
  lso 100/21'  , set the Firmspeed derector Diar to the 100 on
  the dial matches with the index.
3.click points are provided at each step of firmspeed on the Film-
  speed serector Diar. when setting the firm speed, make sure
   that  it clicks.                      't^a

   1. Place the film advance lever (4) in the ready position and turn
    the shutter speed dial so that the indicator white line aligns
     with the desired shutter speed value. Then if the dial is set at
    the intermediate positions of the index, shutter speed will be
     incorrect. Be sure that the dial clicks at the position where the
     white line aligns with the desired value.
  2.With brighter subjects, fast moving subjects or with the higher
    value film speed of the film used, it is recommended to use       Over exposure

Depth-of-field
1.When you are focusing on a given subject, objects in the fore-
  ground and background  will appear acceptably sharp in the pic-
   ture. The range in which all objects appear acceptably sharp in
  the picture is called "depth-of-field."
2.To obtain the depth-of{ield range at different aperture settings,
  the depth-of field scale is used.
  The distance covered by the range between pairs of the same
  f/stops on the depth-of-field scale as the f/value used is the
  depth-of-field. To obtain the actual distance values of the
   depth-of-field, read the values within the range of the focusing
   scale.
3.For instance, when the lens is focused on a subject at a dis-
  tance of 1m with the aperture set at f/8 the depth-of-f ield can be
  obtained by using the depth-of-field scale as follows: the values
  on the distance scale corresponding with the f/values shown on
  the depth-of-field scale are approximately 0.5m and infinity
  respectively. This means that all objects within the range
  between 0.5m and infinity distance can be reproduced accept-
   ably sharp in the picture with the aperture set at f/8.

   Holding Camera
     1.Hold the camera in the palm of the left hand so as to turn the
        lens focusing ring easily with fingers.
     2. Hold the camera body lightly by and place your right fore finger
          lightly on the shutter release button.
     3. Press your left elbow lightly against your body and look through
       the vieMinder eyepiece(l5) to steady the camera against your
       face.Then relax your right arm holding the grip.



                                                                     :   ',.   1.'

   Flash Photography
    Use the grip type (bracket type) flash unit.
     l.Connect the synchro cord with the synchro contact of the cam-
        era.
     2.Set the shutter speed dial (2) at 1/125 second or lower.
     3.Set the aperture.

Rewinding the Film
1.When the film is at its end, the advance lever no longer operates
  smoothly, check the frame counter (5) display.  lf the frame
  counter shows that the all frames of the loaded film have been
  exposed, the film then needs to be rewound.
2.Press the film rewind button (25) on the camera base.
3.Fold out the film rewind crank (10) and turn it in the direction of
  the arrow.
4.Once the pressure eases, the film is completely wound into the
   cartridge.
5.Lift up the film rewind knob (1 1) and pull it out to open the cam-
  era back (24). Now the film cartridge can be taken out.
6.Do this in a place away from direct sunlight.
Note:  lf the film reaches the end of the roll during film advance,the film
  advance lever will lock. Rewind the entire roll, then complete the move-
  ment of the film advance lever and put it back into place.





                                                                             15

      " B"(bulb)Setting
    1.With the shutter speed dial (2) set at "8" position, the shutter will
      remain open for as long as the shutter release button (3) is
       pressed.
    2.This setting is useful when an exposure longer than one second
         is required, such as in landscape photography at night.
    3.Be sure to use a tripod and/or cable release when using this
       long time shutter speed setting.
    Note:We recommend that you remove the Batteries from the camera at this
         setting to avoid wasting the batteries.

   Self-Timer
    1.Wind the film advance lever (4) and fully turn down the self-timer
       lever (7) counterclockwise. Now the selftimer is ready to use.
    2.Press the shutter release button (3) and the selftimer operates
        to release the shutter in approximately 10 seconds later.
    3.Once the self-timer becomes ready  it is impossible to cancel  it
       manually. So operate  it only when needed.
    4.The self-timer is very useful when you wish to include yourself in
     a picture, or,you can use it in order to prevent camera shake in
       shutter releasing instead of using the cable release.
