Align the exposure meter needle with shutter speed indicator in the viewfinder by turning the aperture ring or the shutter speed dial.

9. Compose your picture and press the shutter release button. 

1. INSERTING AND CHECKING THE BATTERIES

Remove battery compartment cover by unscrewing it counterclock­wise with a coin. Place two batteries into the compartment with the plus Q+ side down, as illustrated in the battery holder of battery compartment cover. Make sure that the batteries are correctly placed. If incorrectly plac­ed, the exposure meter needle in the viewfinder will not move at all. Replace battery compartment cover by screwing it clockwise until it stops, but do not force.

Tips for Better Results:

·      Before loading, wipe off the surfaces of the batteries with a clean and dry cloth to ensure they are free of fingerprints or stains.

·     When your camera is not used for a long period, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool, dry place.

·      Replace the batteries about once a year.

·      Do not dispose of batteries in fire-they may explode.

Check the power of the batteries after loading them. Turn the battery check ring clockwise until it stops.

If exposure meter needle in the viewfinder swings to battery power check mark "C", the batteries have sufficient power. If the needle doesn't move or stays below check mark "C" the batteries must be replaced. For replacement use Mallory MS76, Eveready S76 or equivalent.

2. LOADING THE FILM

Pull up film rewind knob until back cover snaps open. Then, pull it out ill the way to allow for insertion of the film cartridge. Swing open back cover and place a film cartridge into film chamber.  Push down film rewind knob to its original position by turning film rewind crank clockwise or counterclockwise so that film rewind shaft engages film cartridge and locks it in place.

 

Insert the film leader into one of the slots in the film take-up spool. To bring the slot into a convenient position, rotate film take-up spool in the direction of arrow with your finger.

 

Rotate film taste-up spool by advancing film advance lever to take up any slack in the film. Be sure film tip is firmly hooked onto film take-up spool and that the holes on both sides of the film are caught by the teeth on the film transport sprockets.

NOTE: The film must pass under the take-up spool when advanced.

Close and press back cover firmly until it snaps shut. Advance film advance lever two or three times, after depressing shutter release button each time, until the number "1" is opposite the index line in exposure counter. As you advance film advance lever, film rewind knob will simultaneously rotate counterclockwise indicating that the film is properly advanced. Your camera is now loaded and ready to go.

Tips for Better Results:
* Always load your camera in the shade or in a poorly-lit place. Never in direct sunlight or other bright light.

3. SETTING THE FILM SPEED

Each type of film, color or black and white, has its own sensitivity to light. This sensitivity is assigned by a numerical value described as a ASA rating (U.S.A. Standard) or a DIN rating (Europe and most other countries). In most cases, both ASA and DIN ratings are imprinted on the film package, as well as the data sheet packed with the film and the film cartridge itself. The higher the film speed rating, the more sensitive the film is to light; that is, less light is required for a proper exposure. The film speed, therefore, is an important element in insuring that the through-the-lens metering system of your camera determines the correct shutter speed and f-stop combinations for a given lighting situation.

Depress film speed lock button and rotate the outer ring of film speed dial until the ASA (or DIN) number of your film is exactly opposite the index line on the outer ring of film speed dial and click stops. For example, if the film is ASA 100, make the correct setting at "100". Take your finger off film speed lock button to lock the film speed setting in the camera. Below is a table of the available ASA/DIN ratings with the numbers represented by the dots shown above them.


Tips for Better Results:

* Each time a film with a new film speed rating is loaded in your camera, the film speed must be set to assure accurately exposed photographs.

4. SELECTING THE SHUTTER SPEED
The shutter controls the length of time the light is allowed to strike the film. The speed at which the shutter opens and closes measured in fractions of a second that correspond to the numbers c shutter speed dial. For example, "1000" is 1/1000 sec., "125" 1/125 sec., "4" is 1/4 sec., "1" is one full second and so on.
 Simply turn shutter speed dial until the desired shutter speed is opposite shutter speed index line.

Generally speaking, when shooting outdoors in bright or hazy sunlight, "125" (1/125 sec.) is suitable for most pictures. When taking your subjects in motion "250" '1/250 sec.) to "1000" (1/1000 sec.) should be used ... faster speeds will "freeze" extremely fast moving subjects (sports, racing cars, etc.) When indoors in a well-lit room, "60" (1/60 sec.) should be sufficient to take your subject, depending upon the film you are using. When in poorly-lit places, or to achieve the maximum depth of field, "30" (1/30 sec.) to "1" (1 sec.) should be used. When set at "B", the shutter will remain open as long as shutter release button is depressed (preferably by a cable release). The "B" setting is used for long night exposures using street lights or electric signs as a light source, or under poor lighting conditions when flash cannot be used.  
 Tips for Better Results:

·     When using slow speeds (below 1/30 sec.) and "B" setting, use a tripod and cable release to minimize camera movement and prevent blurred pictures. Be especially careful to minimize camera movement when using a telephoto lens.

·     Do not set shutter speed dial between marked speeds, but only at a click stop in accordance with indicated speeds.

·      Shutter speed dial does not revolve between "1000" and "B".

5. METER/SHUTTER "ON-OFF" CONTROL

Film advance lever controls exposure meter "ON-OFF" and shutter( release "LOCK-UNLOCK" to protect your camera from unnecessary depletion of the batteries and accidental shutter release when not taking pictures.  pre-advance with two click positions in 20° an 40° angle and 135° advance angle assures faster winding and permit continuous operation for sequence photography. Choose your suitable angle of 20° or 40° pre-advance position. When film advance lever is moved to "ON" position, the electric circuit is switched on and shutter release button is unlocked.

Whenever picture-taking is completed, be sure to move film advance lever to "OFF" position. The electric circuit is switched off an shutter release button is locked.
