Instruction manual

* The focusing screen is detachable, for exchanging with other types. Do not place trimming masks or tapes on
the bottom surface of the screen, as this will lead to inaccurate focusing.
* See that the left hand does not touch the back cover released button, during photographic sessions, as the back
cover may accidentally open and ruin the film.
* Restrict cleaning of the reflex mirror to lightly blowing or brushing away the dust and/or dirt with a blower
brush or a soft camel hair brush. Don't touch the mirror surface with your fingers or cloth.
* Clean the plastic focusing screen in the same manner, as above. Don't touch the surface as you may leave
fingerprints.
* Protect your camera from sudden temperature changes, as drastic changes can result in moisture condensation,
frost, etc. inside the camera which could lead to rusting of metallic parts and eventual troubles.
* Protect your camera from impact and vibrations, as it is a precision optical instrument.
* Always protect the lens with its cover, when carrying the camera.
*When used outdoors in conditions of extreme moisture (fogs etc.,) or at the seashore, clean the camera and
lens very carefully after the shooting session.
* Should the exterior of the camera be effected by salty air wipe it off carefully with a damp cloth, using fresh
water. Then wipe it dry with a soft, dry cloth and, if necessary, send it to an authorized repair station for a quick
inspection.
* If the camera is not being used for a long period, store it in a cool, dry and well-ventilated (but not windy)
place.
* Wrap everything individually in dry and soft lint-free cotton cloth and store in tin-lined containers, which can
be closed tightly, together with plenty of disiccant, such as silica gel. Don't use any other kind of chemical.
* When using a tripod screw which is longer than standard, do not thread too strongly or you may cause damage
to the camera body.
* The lens cannot be attached or removed unless both camera body
and lens are in the "cocked" condition. When the shutter is charged
or cocked, both cocking pins of lens and body are set to the green
colored dot. When the cocking pins are not at the position of the
green dot, the cocking pin of the lens can be set to the position by
simply moving it with the finger. The cocking pin of the body
mount can be set to the required position by simply revolving the
film winding crank.
* Don't throw the battery into a fire, or hit it strongly, as there is danger of explosion and, consequent, damage.
*Shooting with the AE (Automatic Exposure) Finder
When a film back with a different film speed (ASA number) is attached to the camera body, readjust the film
speed dial of the AE Finder for the new film speed.
