User Guide
The film cassette and the take-up spool must be fully
pushed home to ensure that the film lies properly between
the guides.
Check that the position of the film corresponds to that
shown in the diagram. The matt emulsion side must face
the lens and the focal plane shutter; the take-up spool
winds up the film with the emulsion side out.
The teeth of the transport sprocket should engage the
perforations of the film (if necessary, slowly work the
transport lever until the teeth engage).
Close the camera back, replace the base plate, and lock it,
thus closing the camera light-tight.
The film counter automatically returns to its starting
position — two divisions before zero — when the take-up
spool is withdrawn. The length of film between
the cassette and take-up spool
is, of course, already fogged
and useless for taking pictures.
It must therefore be advanced inside the closed camera to bring
a fresh, unexposed portion of the film into position for shooting.
Advance the film by stroking the transport lever, and release the
shutter. Repeat these steps, and advance the film once more so
that the film counter indicates No. 1. You are now ready for the
first exposure.
The correct functioning of the film transport can be
recognized by the fact that the red dots on the center shaft
of the rewind knob rotate while the film is advanced.
