Bessa 66 semi-automatic film advance

-- On the back and front of the camera, just under the top, next to the film winding
knob, are two sliding latches. If the frame counter on top doesn't show 0, slide these
latches to the left and right, back and front in turn until the frame counter shows 0.
-- On the back of the camera is a red window that will show an X. To the right of it is
a flat serrated wheel of equal diameter.
-- Open the red window by turning the wheel 90 degrees clockwise. Turn the winding
knob until the number 1 appears in the red window shows 1.
-- Turn the wheel back to close the red window.
-- Looking at the top of the camera, slide the latch on the back to the left. The frame
counter on top will show 1. The camera is now ready to take the first picture.
-- To advance the film, slide the latch on the front to the right. The frame counter will
show 2. Turn the winding knob until it comes to a stop. Take the second picture.
Repeat until the counter shows 12 and take the last picture. Slide the front latch one
more time until the counter shows 0, then turn the knob until the film is completely
wound.
