10. Film transport
You can operate the winding lever14 either in one full swing or in several short swings until it locks.
11.Changing the battery
The cadmium sulphide exposure meter 19 is powered by a Mallory battery PX 625.
According to the manufacturer, the durability of the battery is 12 to 24 months, provided that the unused camera is kept in the case i. e. in the dark. The voltage drop occurs suddenly.
Symptom: the meter needle 16 does not deflect any more. Recommended precautions: Change battery annually, and remove it if the camera is not used over an extended period, always remove an exhausted battery, (see Inserting the battery).
12. Is the camera loaded?
If you are not sure after a long interval, unfold the rewind crank 24 and try turning it gently in the direction of the arrow. If you meet a resistance you know that there is a film in the camera. If the camera is empty, the crank 24 turns freely.
13. Carrying strap and carrying case
The carrying strap is fixed to the fitting 12 at the side. Push the protruding retaining spring against the camera body with the button on the strap and push the button home.
To remove, push down the spring leaves with a fingernail and slide off the button.
With the strap the camera can hang from the wrist even inside its carrying case. Open the zip fastener of the case and push back the latter. During shooting it simply hangs from the strap.
