    After the  f ilm hos been inser-
   ted, set the film counter by
   iurning the milled knob onti-
   clockwise until the (stort index)

   dot on the Film winding  in-
   dicotor locoted on the bottom
   of the comero turns simulton-
   eously with the winding lever.
   This is to check if the film  is                    (|s. 7)   properly wounded. The Num-
   ber I on the fi!m counter will

         of the bright-line frome finder you
       con see the bright squore ronge
           finder field.
        When the ronge finder is not correctly
         focused on the subiect, the lotter
          oppeors with double-outlines in the

        bine into one. This sets the lens
         exoctly to the meosured distonce.
           (Fis.  I 2)
          Since the comero is equipped with
          outomotic porollox correction there  is
        no need for porollox correction. The

       The Rcpid Wlndlng Lever


One full movement of the  lever cocks the shutter, ond
odvonces the film ond the film  counter. A spring then returns
the lever to its originol positi-
on. An outomotic lock prevents
the ropid winder from being
operoted o second time before
the shutter is releosed. Con-
versely, the shutter con only
be releosed ofter operoting
the ropid winding lever. This www.butkus.us
prevents both double exposu-
res ond blonk fromes. (Fig.

The depth of field covers thot port of the subiect oreo in

occeptobly shorp in the picture. The extent of this shorp
zone is by no meons constont: it increoses the more you
stop down the lens, ond decreoses the lorger the lens operture.
The ovoiloble depth of field zone is eosily determined.
After you hove set the lens to the correct subiect distonce,
look ot the depth of field scole. This corries two series of
operture numbers orronged symmetricolly to the left ond to
the right off the red dot index. The depth of field extends
from the distonce morking opposite one of the left hond
