HOW TO PREPARE YOUR 500C/M AND
500EL/M FOR OPERATION
Front protective cover
Unscrew the protective cover (with bayonet
mount) in the direction of the arrow.
Attaching the lens
First make sure that the camera is advanced
and not in the pre-released mode.
Make sure the lens mechanism is cocked. The
slot (А) on the head of the cocking shaft
should point to the adjacent red index dot
(B). See also p. 11 for the procedure of cock-
ing a released, detached lens.
Align the red delta at the rear of the lens with
the red dot (O) on the camera lens mount.
Rotate the lens clockwise until it stops and
locks into place with a click.
