Use two Varta CR r/g N or Duracell DL t/s N cells




Battery check
Advance the film, then press the check
button. The pointer in the finder must rise to at
least 125 (lAzssec.).  lf the pointer is lower or
does not move at all, open the battery com-
partment with a coin and replace the batteries.
Be sure to insert them the right way round.
Two lithium cells (which remain operative even at freezing
temperatures) power all electronic camera functions. Clo-
sing the front cover in intervalls between shooting reduces
battery drain.

Loading film
Remove the camera back and release the shutter; this
returns the frame counter to its start position. Slowly
operate the transport lever to open the film covering flap
over the takeup spool. Insert the film cartridge.





                     www.butkus.us

Draw the film across the film track and push the leader into
the gap between the takeup spool and the film covering flap.
Operate the transport lever once, so that the covering flap
seizes the film. Check that the latter runs flat across the film
track, with its perforation engaging one tooth of the sprocket.
Refit the camera back and secure with the latch in the base,
covering the red dot. Operate the transport lever and release
the shutter. Advance the film once more; the frame counter
should now indicate No. 0.

ISO scale: Set to the speed of the film loaded in the camera.

Unloading film
Press the rewind release button. Rewind the film into the
cartridge. Unlatch the back, exposing the red dot. Pull off
the back and remove the film cartridge.

Correct exposure
                           This indicates ideal conditions
                                for correct exposures.



                    When you see this indication,
                        use the MINOX FC-E
                              flash or the MINOX
                                tripod.





                        Overexposure warning:
                          Set a smaller aperture
                           or use a MINOX neutral
                           density filter.

Correct exposure
Turn the camera round so that the front cover shields the
lens against the sun. Use the MINOX lens hood if needed
for better shielding.
