Attaching the Winder
• Hold the base of the camera away from the light and remove the caps covering the camera film
transport and auto rewind couplings. Screw both caps into the cap holders on top of the winder to
prevent loosing them.
CAUTION: When attaching the winder with film already loaded in the camera, be sure to hold
the base of the camera away from sunlight or other bright lighting sources. Until the winder is
fully coupled with the camera, there is possibility that bright lighting seeping through the auto
rewind coupling could adversely affect your exposures. Likewise, when detaching the winder
before the film roll has been completed and rewound, be sure to replace the auto rewind coupling
cap on the camera immediately.
• Set the winder C/S dial to OFF. Attach the winder to the camera by lining up the attachment screw
with the tripod socket at the base of the camera. Making sure that all contact points line up properly,
secure the winder to the camera by turning the thumbscrew clockwise. Be sure to tighten the screw
firmly to ensure proper electrical contact.
To Detach the Winder
Loosen the screw and separate the winder and the camera. Replace the coupling caps over the
couplings at the base of the camera immediately. Be sure to replace the auto rewind cap immediately
to avoid the danger of ruining future exposures when shooting without the winder
