Get Ready
Load the batteries into the ProFlash
(ProPack System only)
Slide the door in the direction of the arrow to
open it (5). Insert four 1.5V AA alkaline batteries,
matching the + and - symbols on the inside of
the compartment, then slide the door shut while
holding the batteries in place. (Rechargeable
1.2V nickel-cadmium batteries also can be used.)
Mount the ProFlash (ProPack System only)
Position the flash unit and camera as shown (6).
Screw the mounting bracket into the socket on
the camera until is it firmly attached. For con-
venience, leave the flash unit mounted to the
camera at all times.
Open the camera
Push in the cover release (1D) and lower the
cover until the camera locks in the open position.
To close the camera, make sure there is no
flashcube in the flashcube socket. Then push in
the cover release or press down on both locking
bars (2F). Close and latch the cover.
Load the film
Open the latch, then open the film door (7), away
from direct sunlight. Check the developer rollers
(8A); they must be kept clean (see “Mainte-
nance”). Hold the film pack by the edges and
insert it (8). Be sure the white tabs are not caught
between the film pack and the camera body (9).
Close and latch the film door; the black film
cover should appear (10). Holding the camera in
your left hand by the handgrip on the flash unit
(ProPack System, 11) or by the ring handle
(ProPack camera, 12), pull the black film cover
straight and all the way out of the camera.
