Film Winding Film Winding Film Winding
The film advance lever winds the film, cocks the shutter,
and prepares the diaphragm and mirror for the next
shutter release all in one motion.
1
Turn the film advance lever until it stops. The film
will be advanced one frame and the shutter cocked.
The frame counter is simultaneously advanced to the
next number.
2
When the shutter release button is pressed, the mirror
flips up, the diaphragm closes down to the preset
f/stop and the shutter operates. The advance lever can
then be wound for the next frame.
Be sure to set the shutter lock lever at "A".
Winding may be accomplished by moving the lever
with several short strokes.
If the shutter does not function, check to make sure
the winding process is completed as the shutter will not
function unless winding is completed.
