When the 35mm film insert is installed, the number 35 shows in a window at the back of the camera to indicate 35mm film is installed. The number 60 shows when 120 film is used.

When the camera is loaded with 35mm film, you need to rotate the frame counter reset knob behind the frame counter ¼ turn after every

10th picture. Rotating the reset knob causes the frame counter to return to 1. Otherwise, the counter will go to frame 11, 12 and then red dots with no frame spacing control. In other words, you will not get all of the pictures on your roll of 35mm film, the film will wind all of the way to the end without stopping. The

reset knob has an indexing window with the numbers 0, 1, 2 and 3. This allows you to keep track of the number of pictures that you have taken. For example, on a 36 exposure roll of 35mm film, if you remember to turn the index lever to the next number after every 10th exposure, you would have a 3 index and a 6 film counter number for the 36th exposure.

The button above the shutter release is a shutter release-locking switch, red indicates the shutter is not locked.

On the upper left side of the camera is the camera back release button. The button unscrews several turns and then pushes in to release the camera back. To prevent accidental door opening, it is recommended that the button be turned all of the way in.
