 Loading Camera

                    Hold the box with your right hand in
                   such a way that thumb is pressing
                         against the clasp. So you are able to lift
                       the cover with your left hand easily.
                   Now,you extract the revolving button
                             (l) to the stop and take out the film,
                           carrier. Slide the pointed end of the
                  new filmroll into the broad groove of
                         the empty spool. Pay attention that the
 groove of the spool is at your
 right hand side. After two turns
you put the spool into the
 carrier;take care thatthe groove
 of the spool becomes visible in
 the siderhole of the carrier.The
photo shows how to proceed
further in inserting the filmrroll
symply. You now put the
carrier into the case in such a
way that the revolving button
hits the siderhole. By turning
the button to the right and
slightly pressing against it you
make the revolving system ready to work. Make sure that
the filmrroll can be turned and then shut the box. Do not
expose film to bright light when installing in camera.
Snap Shot (M)
When carefully turning the revolving button (1) a number I
will show up in the red hole after several attention marks.
The camera is now ready to take pictures. The bright view
in the brilliantrfinders shows the desired sector of the picture.

Then press down the releasezlever slightly and the film has
 been exposed. The releaserlever automatically slides back into
 its old position. You will avoid much trouble if turning the
 filmto nextnumber immediately aftera photo has been taken.
 When taking pictures on a highly sensible film in glaring
 light (beach, snow) it is recommended to apply the small
 diaphragm by extractind the upper slider (2) marked by a
 small hole. This, at the same time, increases the depth of focus.

Tlme-Exposure  (B)
In order to avoid blurred pictures the box must be given
an absolutely steady stand (table, bench, tree). Pull out the
 time:slider (5) to full extend and the diaphragm is opened,
as long as releasezlever is pressed down.

Extended Time-Exposure (T)
To make extended timezexposures, pull out timeuslider (5)
to full extend, press down releaserlever (4) with thumb
and after this press backwards stopzlever (5) with fore:finger.
The shutter will remain opened in this position. To close
shutter, push stopzlever forwards again and the release,
lever will go back at the same time.

To take Film out
After the last photo has ben taken you turn the button to
the right until film is rolled up completely. Then open camera
as described and reeinstall the empty spool at the top (the
groove to be visible in the siderhole!) and load camera again.
