USING YOUR KONICA AUTOREFLEX-A3:
SEVEN BASIC STEPS
1. Insert the two 1.35 Volt mercury photographic batteries supplied with your camera into the compartment at
bottom of camera. (This supplies power to the CdS meter.)
2. Load camera. Konica's "Insta-Grip" take-up spool assures trouble-free operation.
3. Set ASA rating required for your film speed.
4. Move Aperture Control Ring to "AK" position ("EE" on some Lenses).
5. Select desired shutter speed. (For most shots, 1/125th is recommended.)
6. Focus and compose picture in viewfinder.

automatically!
