READ ME FIRST

The camera is shipped with the light shield cur- tain in the open position.

Therefore you cannot remove the body cap unless you close the curtain first.

Please read page 10 of the instruction book first.

The camera will not function without a battery. Please read pages 8 and 9 next.

You will want to practice with the camera with- out film. This can be done in two ways. Either leave the back cover open or set the Multi Exposure Lever to Multi.

The instruction book was written for the black finished camera. Subsequently a silver model was added. The white index marks and dots on the black model appear in black on the silver model.
