Checking the Film Transport
The film transport indicator can be seen in the lower part of the viewfinder. The
indicator moves up and down when the film is being properly transported through
the camera. If the indicator does not move, remove the film cartridge and advance
the film slightly with your finger; then insert the cartridge once more. When the
film reaches the end, the film transport indicator will stop moving up and down.
Since power zooming produces the zooming effect at a fixed speed, you can use the manual zoom for
zooming at different speeds. Slide the manual zooming lever up or down as desired.
Power Zoom
While pulling the trigger, press the zooming switch. The subject will become
larger when "T" is pressed, and smaller when "W" is pressed. When the image
stops moving, the zooming lever will not rotate anymore.
Manual Zoom
Footage Counter
When the film ends, the film transport indicator in the viewfinder stops. After
you have shot 50 ft., open the film compartment and remove the film
cartridge. The film footage counter will be set at "50" when the roll is done. If
you remove the film before you shoot the whole roll, the footage counter will
re-set to zero.
