OPENING THE BASEBOARD
Pressure on the locking button (1. fig. 1) causes the baseboard with the lens panel to
slide into the taking position. It is best to tilt the front of the camera obliquely downwards
during this operation.
THE DOUBLE - EXPOSURE PREVENTION DEVICE
The Automatic 66 is equipped with an ingenious double and blank exposure prevention
device. This means that the release button is locked after each exposure until the next
number appears in the window after the transport knob has been wound on. Even if
shutter-winding has been forgotten, no release is possible. On the other hand, the film
transport is blocked until the shutter has been released. One should therefore make it a
point to wind the film on immediately before an exposure.
