When the picture counter reads 36
pictures, press on the rewinding
button, which releases the film
transport mechanism (Fig. 13).
Unfold the handle on the rewinding
knob, rewind the film into the
magazine (Fig. 14). Open the rear
cover by pulling up the rewinding
knob, remove the magazine with
the film. The film transport
mechanism will be engaged
automatically upon the first
cocking of the shutter.

The system of measurement and
setting the exposure in the
automatic mode is designed for the
most frequently occurring average
conditions of lighting of objects to
be photographed. In some cases it
is required to increase or decrease
the exposure. This is attained by
varying the preset film speed
relative to the speed of a loaded
film. First of all the correction of
exposure is recommended in
shooting on the reversible films.
The setting of the lesser value of
speed corresponds to the increase
in exposure and vice versa. For
example, in shooting on the
reversible film in the cases when an
object is located opposite a light
source, on the background of
Load and unload the camera in the
premises or in the shadow,
avoiding the direct solar rays.
Shift the cocking lever as far as it
will go. Otherwise the lever fails to
return to the initial position,
indicating that the shutter has not
been cocked.
The rotation of the rewinding knob
upon cocking the shutter is
indicative of the fact that the film is
pulled normally. When shooting in
the automatic mode, the used filter
factor is taken into account
automatically.
While shooting, avoid getting of
direct rays from powerful light
sources to the photocell — this can
result in the errors in operation of
the automatic system.
