Exchanging the film

Always start by making sure that there is no film

already in the camera by turning the rewind crank

(15) gently in the direction of the arrow. If there is

any resistance, proceed as described on page 78.

Hold the camera in your right hand with the base

plate pointing upwards

Opening the camera

01. Raise the latch (31) on the base plate (26),

02. turn it to the left,

03. remove the base plate, and

04. fold the back (24) out towards the rear.

Note: With the back of the camera open, three

contacts (36) for transmission of the set film

speed to the camera’s controls can be seen on the

back and inside the camera housing. These

contacts are gold-plated and are therefore corro-

sion free and, as far as possible, insensitive to dirt

and dust. Special care of these contacts is not

required.

However, when loading a film, you should ensure

that soiling or direct exposure to rainwater etc. is

prevented.

This also applies to the DX contacts (32) in the

film cartridge chamber.
