Film-Plane Indicator
Film-Advance Lever
The film-advance lever simultaneously advances the
film, cocks the shutter and operates the frame counter.
It also serves as an on-off switch for the exposure
meter.
Stroke the film-advance lever with the right thumb in
a single stroke. A built-in locking device prevents the
shutter from being released unless it is fully cocked
and the film has been advanced a full frame.
The film-advance lever springs back to its original posi-
tion, with ample clearance for the thumb, after each
stroke. However, the meter will remain in the "on"
position until the lever is pressed flush against the
camera body.
The (e) mark on top of the camera body shows the
exact position of the film plane. This is important to
know
when
measuring the film-to-subject distance,
especially in close-ups and macrophotography.
