The film can be advanced in either
of two ways.
A. By winding the Film Advance Knob of the Film Insert until it stops.
B. By activating the Cocking Lever of the camera body several times, until it stops. (The lens shutter will not be cocked unless the Cocking Lever is moved all the way until it stops.
When the film is completely advanced, the numeral '1' will appear in the Exposure Counter, making the first frame ready for exposure.
While advancing the film form S (start) to 1 with the Cocking Lever, the shutter releas- ing mechanism is automatically locked until the film is fully advanced to frame 1.
