Operating the Cocking Lever

LED Monitor Lamp and Electronic Warning Sounds

 

When depressing the Cocking Lever, be sure to push it all the way forward (toward the Shutter Release Button). If the Cocking Lever is not pressed forward as far as it will go, it will return to its original position when released, but the shutter will not be cocked. At such a time, shutter will not operate and an orange warning lamp will illuminate in the viewfinder when the Shutter Release Button is depressed.

Note:

It may happen that when attaching the Roll Film Holder, or after having rotated the holder attached to the revolving back, the film advance coupling mechanisms between camera and holder may not properly mesh. In this case the shutter cannot be fired when the release is pressed and the orange warning lamp will light in the viewfinder.

By moving the "M/R" lever to "R" and pushing the cocking lever slightly, the couplings will mesh and the release but- ton will function again.

The following page will explain the visual and audio signals which are built into the camera and which are designed to assure proper operation and to prevent mistakes.
