TTL Pentaprism's exposure meter

Is the power switch on? The TTL Pentaprism's power
switch turns off automatically approximately 30 seconds
after it is turned on. There are some other causes. Please
refer to the operating manual for the TTL Pentaprism.
The shutter cannot be released
without loading film.
The shutter mechanism of the 67 is designed to be disen¬
gaged when a film is not loaded. Please refer to Page 10.
Focus is not precise in the picture.
Did you set the pressure plate according to the film type?
Film drag or imprecise focusing will occur, if the pressure
plate is set contrary to the film type you are using.
Film is not wound smoothly.
Did you set the pressure plate correctly? Since the thickness
differs between the 120 type and 220 type, film drag will oc¬
cur when the pressure plate is set to 220 while using the 120
type film.
