Film-Advance Lever
The film-advance lever simultaneously advances the film,
cocks the shutter and operates the frame counter. It
also switches on the exposure meter in the Photomic
finder. To advance the film, stroke the lever with the
right thumb in a single stroke (or series of strokes) totalī½
ing only 120. A built-in locking device prevents the
shutter from being released unless it is fully cocked and
the film advanced a full frame. At the completion of
film advance, release the lever and it will return to the
20 standoff position ready for shutter release.
Note: Do not apply pressure to the film-advance lever while
making an exposure.
