set the film sensitivity to a value in the range ISO 6 to 6400. (ISO
is the international designation for film speeds)
To do this, press the non-locking

2. turn it so that one of the two triangles - black for B/W films or
red for color films - is pointing to the desired value.

FITTING
1. Hold the lens by the fixed ring.
2. Align the red index button on the lens with the release button
on the camera body.
3. Then push the lens straight on in this position.
4. Turn the lens slightly to the right, and you will hear and feel it
click into place.
REMOVING
1. Hold the lens by the fixed ring.
2. Press down the release button on the camera body.
3. Turn the lens to the left until its red index button is aligned
with the release button.

Important:
With a film loaded, you should change the lens in the shadow of
your own body, as direct sunlight can result in light getting in
through the shutter.
