• Replace the batteries about once a year. • Do not dispose of batteries in fire-they may explode. Check the power of the batteries after loading them. Turn the battery check ring clockwise until it stops. If exposure meter needle in the viewfinder swings to battery power check mark "C", the batteries have sufficient power. If the needle doesn't move or stays below check mark "C" the batteries must be replaced. For replacement use Mallory MS76, Eveready S76 or equivalent. 2.

Rotate film taste-up spool by advancing film advance lever to take up any slack in the film. Be sure film tip is firmly hooked onto film take-up spool and that the holes on both sides of the film are caught by the teeth on the film transport sprockets. NOTE: The film must pass under the take-up spool when advanced. Close and press back cover firmly until it snaps shut.

Generally speaking, when shooting outdoors in bright or hazy sunlight, "125" (1/125 sec.) is suitable for most pictures. When taking your subjects in motion "250" '1/250 sec.) to "1000" (1/1000 sec.) should be used ... faster speeds will "freeze" extremely fast moving subjects (sports, racing cars, etc.) When indoors in a well-lit room, "60" (1/60 sec.) should be sufficient to take your subject, depending upon the film you are using.

12. CHANGING LENSES - This is a standard K-mount lens To mount the lens on the camera: Mount the lens by lining up the red dot on the lens mount with the matching dot on the camera mount. Grasp the lens firmly around the lens barrel and turn it clockwise until it clicks into place. To remove the lens from the camera: Grasp the lens firmly around the lens barrel in one hand. With the other hand, hold the camera body and press lens release lever and turn the lens counterclockwise until it stops.

Remove the film cartridge and have the film processed as soon as possible. Tips for Better Result: • Always unload your camera in the shade or in a poorly-lit place, never in direct sunlight or other bright light. • • When you reach the end of the roll of film, film advance lever will tighten and refuse to advance. If this happens, do not advance film advance lever by force for "just one more shot", otherwise the film will be torn out of the cartridge.

• • If you want, repeat the same action for the third exposure or more. Whenever advancing the film advance lever for second exposure, make sure that the multi-exposure button is pressed firmly with the other hand and watch to see that exposure counter is not advanced, indicating that multiexposure picture is ready to be taken. 17. FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY You can use a flash at night or in a dimly lit room as well as for supplementary lighting in outdoor photography.

Review section on film loading and be sure you are loading the camera correctly with the film being securely attached to the take-up spool and winding in the CORRECT DIRECTION, that is UNDER the take-up spool. Film may not have gone through camera at all. Problem: SELF TIMER DOES NOT OPERATE SHUTTER. Possible cause: Timer not rotated at least 90 degrees.
