Frame Counter and Film-Load Reminder
The frame counter located in the hub of the film-advance lever shows the number of frames which have been exposed. It resets itself automatically to two frames before zero when the camera back is removed. There are red indicators for numbers 0, 20 and 36, and the frame counter stops at the 36 mark. The filmload reminder opposite the frame counter is set manually by means of an indicator pin to serve as a reminder of the number of exposures on the film in the camera.
Film-Speed Reminder Dial
The film-speed reminder dial is located on the camera baseplate. It can be set manually to indicate the type of film (color or blackand-white) and ASA rating of the film loaded in the camera. "E" represents empty.
Film-Plane Indicator
The exact position of the film plane can be determined by picturing an imaginary line drawn along the top edge of the digits which make up the camera serial number. This is important to know when measuring the film-to-subject distance, especially in close-ups and macrophotography.
Film-Advance Lever
The film-advance lever advances the film, cocks the shutter and operates the frame counter with a single stroke of 136° or with a series of short strokes. A built-in safety device prevents the shutter from being ret leased until it is fully cocked. The lever is designed so that it springs back when released but does not strike the camera body. A 15° angle of clearance allows the thumb to be inserted for easy, comfortable film advancing. The lever folds flat on top of the camera for storage in the eveready case.
