the shutter release button, move the shutter release
lock (3) to the orange dot.
Time Exposure
By setting the shutter speed dial anywhere in the space
between X and 1/1000 sec., you can take Time
exposures. To close the shutter, turn the shutter speed
dial to X or 1/1000.
Double exposures cannot be made with this camera.

The silver oxide battery used in your camera will last
for about 8,000 ~ 10,000 exposures. To check the
battery condition, depress the battery check button
(21); the red battery check lamp (14) will glow if the
battery is still in good condition.
If the red check lamp does not glow, replace the battery
immediately. The shutter will not operate when the
battery is exhausted, or its voltage too low, or when
there is no battery in the camera. At such a time,
the reflex mirror will stop halfway up when you depress
the shutter release button, completely locking the
shutter mechanism.
When this happens, insert a fresh battery, and depress
the shutter/mirror reset button (6). The mirror will then
complete its cycle, simultaneously releasing the shutter,
resulting in the loss of one frame.
You can easily remove the battery by unfolding the
crank of the battery chamber cover (23) and turning it
to the left. When loading a fresh battery, be sure to
properly align the poles.

To remove a lens, depress the lens release (11) and turn the lens to the left,
When mounting a lens, first match the red dots (J) and then turn the lens
to the right until it securely locks to the bayonet mount.
Use the inner bayonet for lenses from 35mm to 300mm; outer bayonet for
lenses from 400mm to 1000mm.

The table below shows which sync terminal, which shutter speed and which type
of flash may be combined for maximum efficiency.

TERMINAL
FP FP Class
X Electronic Flash
M Class * MF Class * FP Class
When using an electronic flash unit, plug the cord into the X sync terminal. Use
shutter speeds of X (1/30 sec.) or slower.
When using a flash gun, plug the cord into the FP terminal. Use shutter speeds
of 1/125 sec. or faster.
When using an FP class flashbulb at shutter speeds of 1/15 sec. or slower, plug
the cord into the X terminal. In this case, M class and MF class bulbs for
lens-shutter cameras may also be used.
With an FP class flashbulb, the amount of light decreases by 50% as a higher
shutter speed is used. So you must adjust the diaphragm. Check the instructions
supplied with the flashbulbs.
When desiring to lock the mirror in the up position,
first cock the shutter and advance the film, and then
push up on the mirror lock lever (7) which is located
on the right-hand side of the outside wall of the mirror
chamber. Finally, to keep vibrations to an absolute
minimum, release the shutter with a cable release.
Because the mirror lock provision is powered by
the battery in the camera, the mirror is automatically
returned to its normal position after the exposure to
conserve battery consumption,
Caution: To avoid depleting the battery in an unnecessarily
short period of time, avoid using the mirror
lock provision for unduly long exposures, and
avoid using it more than necessary.

The spring-loaded preview lever (8) can be
pushed down and locked for depth-of-

position, the upper end of the lever is
slightly raised; a slight touch on the raised
end will return the lever to its automatic
(open aperture) position.
