TO INSERT THE FILM INTO YOUR CAMERA

Place the open camera with the hinged door towards you and open the pressure-pad

by moving the lever (fig. 1).

Remove the empty spool from the camera.

Hold the full spool in your right hand in such a manner that the film cannot become

loose. Unwind about 10 inches of film, and slip the full spool on its spindle, guiding the

film through the gate as illustrated (fig. 2).

Close the pressure-pad by pushing the lever while holding the full spool in its place with

your right hand (fig. 3). (A safety device makes it impossible to close the door unless the

pressure-pad is closed.)

Now take the empty spool with the side marked I facing you and

insert the end of the film into the slit which is below the mark I

(fig. 4). Wind 2 to 3 turns of film on the spool, rotating it in a

clockwise manner.

Place the take-up spool on its spindle disregarding the position

of the notches (fig. 5).

The dark, shiny side of the film must be facing towards

you, and the light side towards the lens.

Your camera is equipped with a variable shutter.

By reducing the opening angle, the film ex-

posure time is reduced proportionately without

changing the filming speed.

The control lever can be moved while filming,

or it can be set in one of the positions shown on

illustration opposite.

The shutter can be locked in the open and

half-closed positions by pushing the grooved

slide (a on illustration opposite) in the direction

of the arrow.

Exposure times for different settings of the

variable shutter and for different filming speeds

are listed in the table on page 31.

N. B. The camera will not start while the shutter

control lever is in the position illustrated (lever

at extreme right).
