GENERAL STEPS OF PICTURE-TAKING-Continued
Blank exposure
The blank exposure is to release the shutter
dispos-
ing of the first few inches of film which were
ex-
posed during
loading,
not to take
pictures.
After loading the film, make two blank exposures
and the frame counter indicates
"0".
Stroke the
film-advance lever once more, and you are ready
to shoot
.
When making the blank exposures to intercept
the light, better use the shutter speed of 1/1000
sec
.
Keep pressing the shutter-speed
dial lock
and turn the
shutter-speed
dial from A (Auto) to
the 1000 (1/1000 sec.)
.
Make the blank exposures,
and return the shutter speed to
A.
When making the blank exposures at A (Auto) to
intercept the light, the shutter will be kept open.
I n such a case, return both the shutter-button lock
and the film-advance lever to the locked position
flush against the camera. The shutter will be
re-
leased and ready for normal operation.

Frame counter
The 36-frame counter
automatically shows
how
many frames have been exposed. It is calibrated in
even
numbers, with the figures 0,
20 and
36 in red,
and odd numbers by dots. The counter stops just
past the 36-frame mark
and
resets itself
automati-
cally to "S" (start), two frames before 0, when
the
camera back is opened for reloading.
