Attaching a Lens with Shutter Released or Mirror Raised
When a lens is removed from the camera body, the mirror is set (lowered) and the lens shutter cocked. Conversely, when attaching a lens, the same conditions should prevail (mirror set and shutter cocked). However, should a lens be attached with either the mir- ror raised or shutter released, or both, the camera can be reset by following the proce- dures below.
1. If the mirror is raised (regardless of whether the lens shutter is cocked or released), simply depress the Cocking Lever to reset the camera.
2. If mirror is set and lens shutter released (closed), remove the Dark Slide from Film Holder and depress the Shutter Release Button (film will not be exposed). Next, depress the Cocking Lever to reset the camera.
3. When a lens is removed from the camera both the mirror and the lens shutter are cocked, or they can't be separated. Else- where we explained how to uncock both.
(For storage, for instance).
4. To rejoin them both have to be in a cocked state. To cock the camera (lowering the mirror), just activate the film advance lever, To cock lens shutter, follow instructions supplied with lenses.
