Technical data

Note: Because of the spring-loaded DX contacts,

which press onto the film cartridge, you will feel

slight resistance when removing the cartridge

from the camera. If necessary, you can lightly

tap

the camera on your hand to assist you.

If a film is not correctly attached to the cartridge

reel, e.g. when using bulk film, the end of the film

may become separated and have to be detached

from the take-up spool.

To do this:

01. Remove the base plate of the camera in a com-

pletely dark room,

02. hold the camera with the base plate open and

facing downwards, and

03. slowly operate the quick-wind lever several

times until the film protrudes far enough to be

grasped and pulled out. If necessary, gently

tap the camera against the palm of your hand.

Setting the film speed

The dial (29) is used to select the desired type of

film speed setting – automatically in the DX posi-

tion or manually by setting one of the values on

the scale between ISO 6/9° and 6400/39°. In

the DX position, the film speed is automatically

scanned from the film cartridge in the range ISO

25/15° to 5000/38°. (ISO is the international

designation for film speeds).

To set the speed, the locking dial is turned so that

the desired setting – DX or the desired value – is

opposite the white index dot on the exposure

compensation dial (28).
