Pull the film transport lever (19) -at
the top right of the camera back -
fully out to the right and forward.
Repeat this.
If you failed to pull the lever fully for-
ward either time, pull once more.
If you have loaded the film and it is
advancing correctly, the knob with
the rewind crank (8) at the top left of
the camera also rotates as you oper-
ate the transport lever. So do not
obstruct this knob as you wind.
A light dot on the rewind crank (8)
shows up this movement.
When the whole film is exposed, the
transport lever no longer swings out
fully and the release is blocked.
You can advance the film with the
front cover open or closed.
The frame counter (1) - the white
window at the far right of the camera
top – tells you how many pictures you
have taken on the film.
The frame counter returns to its
start position when you remove the
camera back to change the film (see
page 24) or as soon as you then press
the release (2).
Every film package carries an ASA
speed rating (and often DIN).
To set the automatic exposure pro-

rating of the film.
The dial engages at every speed
setting. The unmarked dots between
