aged when (he lens
h
attached. Aho make
sure ihc djaphragm is cocked. The slot (A)
on the head of the cocking shaft should
point to the red dot (B). (Also see 'Dia¬
phragm cocking' for details oa the cch;k-
ing of released lenses.)
Align the red triangle at the rear of the
lens with the red dot tO) on the camera
lens mount
(Fig.
II). Then carefully insert
the lens into the camera lens mount and
rotate (he lens
clockwise
one-fifih of
turn—using
^enrk
pressure—until
the
lens locks in place with an audible click.
Never press oti the button for cross cou¬
pling of shutter and diaphragm (20} while
changing lenses, since this could cause
damage to the cross-coupling mechanism.
C lenses
C lenses are attached and removed in the
same manner as F lenses.
Diaphragm cocking (Fig. 12)
F lenses
When an F lens is attached to the cumera.
the diaphragm mechanism in the lens is
aucomatically cocked at the same time as
the film is advanced with the folding
crank (2).
Make sure the diaphragm is cocked before
a lens is attached to the camera. The dia¬
phragm is cocked when the slot (A) on
the head of the cocking shaft points to
the red dot (B). If the lens has been off
the camera and
(he diaphragm
inad¬
vertently reteased the diaphragm must be
recocked before ihc lens can be reattached
10 the camera.
The diaphragm is cocked by rotating the
Fig. U
cocking shaft
clockwise,
using c.g. a coin
of suitable size in the shaft slot (A), slight¬
ly less than one full turn until the shaft
slops in (he cocked position. (This proce¬
dure should be earned out with great
caution so that the coin or any other
device used to cock the shaft docs not
skip out of the slot and damages the rear
lens element.)
Note.'
The same cocking procedure is also
employed for extension tubes.
C lenses
The shutter and diaphragm of C lenses ate
cocked in (he same manner
as
in F lenses.
BATFERY (Fig. 13)
The electronics responsible for shutter
timing are powered by a 6 V battery (c.g.
PX-28).
Batteries marked with a lower voltage
must noi be used.
Loading or replacing battery
— Pull out the battery cassette.
— Insert the battery with the (+) terminal
facing the (*^) marking in (he cassette.
— To avoid inserting a battery in a me¬
chanically triggered camera, depress the
slotted mirror program dec (13) and
rotate the film advance crank (2) a full
turn.
(If a battery is inserted in a mechan¬
ically triggered camera, the life of the
battery will be drastically reduced.)
— Reinsert the cassette containing the
battery in the camera.

A fresh battery of (he above type should
last for at least 20,000 exposures. Check
regularly to ensure that the battery is
not
leaking.
To
prevent
the
leakage
which sometimes occurs after protracted
storage, change the battery at least once
a year.
