Uses of Lenses
Changing Lenses
In removing the lens from the camera, after turning the bayonet ring of the lens to the left, take out the lens.
In mounting the lens, match the red dot of the lens to the red dot on the camera mount Turn the bayonet ring to the right and fasten.
èWhen mounting, turn the bayonet ring of the lens sufficiently to the left and coincide the red dot and guide pin of the lens.
èDo not change your lens in a strong light. When changing your lenses have the replacement lens at hand. Then quickly change the lenses in the shade. . . or use your shadow as a shield from direct light.

èDo not touch the panicle mirror or the coupling section of the aperture. When not in use for a long time, protect the panicle mirror by putting on the flange cap.
Distance Scale
The distance scale indicates the distance between the focused subject and the film plane. The scale is necessary for checking the depth
èThe correct position of the scale, where the distance is a
Infrared Index " R "
For infrared photography, correction of the distance scale is necessary because the focal position deviates a little from ordinary photography. Make ordinary focusing first, then adjust that distance scale to the infrared mark " R ". For instance, if the distance reads 10m after focusing, merely shift the 10 scale to " R " position.
èThe position of " R " is scaled according to the use of the standard of a film with the highest sensitivity of a wave length of about 800my and infrared filter (for example, KODAK IR 135 film and WRITTEN 87 filter).
