PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS

Neckstrap
Thread the tips of the neckstrap through the
corresponding rings on the camera so that
the tips are on the inside. Then adjust the
neckstrap to the length most comfortable
for you.
Plastic Insert
Pull up the film rewind knob to open the
camera's back cover. Remove the plastic
insert, which is attached to the pressure
plate, and snap the back cover shut. The
insert is no longer necessary and may be
thrown away.
Eyecup 4S
This is an accessory eyecup which snaps into
the eyepiece grooves. Its use is not
mandatory, but viewing with it may be more
comfortable, and it helps block extraneous
light from entering the viewfinder.
Action Grip
The A-1 has a handy, built-in finger grip, but
to make camera holding all the easier, it
comes with a detachable action grip as well.
Before attaching the grip, load the battery
into the camera. Then, using a coin, screw
the grip into the action grip mounting socket
guided by the positioning pin on the front of
the camera body.
