Attention!

The present Description contains the basic characteristics and essential operating principles of the camera and should not be regarded as a hand-book on photography in general.

Before using the camera, make thorough study of the operating procedure given in the present Description.

Due to ever-advancing development in camera construction minor differences may occur between the text and your camera. Load and unload the camera in faint diffused light avoiding direct sun rays.

Do not rotate the shutter speed dial within the interval between “500” and “B” and the film speed setting dial within the figureless interval.

Do not turn the shutter release button if not necessary to avoid disengagement of the shutter cocking mechanism.

Always wind the shutter (by two or three strokes of the lever) as far as it will go to avoid blank exposures.

Do not keep the camera with the shutter cocked for a long period of time, since it is likely to affect the shutter operation When taking pictures in frosty weather (below -10°C), keep the camera under your street-clothes but not in the open air and take it out only for the moment of photographing.
