3. Main Switch/Shutter Release Lock:
When Depressing the shutter release button half way down, the main switch comes on.
As the film advance lever also functions as a release lock, (fig 3) always return the lever to the parked
position.
4. Loading The Film:
The Miranda MS-1 Super uses colour or black and white film in standard 35mm,
(J135 24mm x 36mm).
1. Pull up the rewind knob to open the back cover, (fig 4).
2. Put the film into the film chamber as indicated in the picture and press down the rewind shaft to the
original position while rotating the rewind knob, (fig 5).
3. Insert the film leader into the groove of the spool and engage the perforations of the film in to the
teeth of the spool, (fig 6).
4. Turn the film advance lever and wind the film around the take-up spool ensuring that the
perforations of the film are still engaged in the sprocket teeth.
5. Close the rear cover and press it shut quite firmly and it will be locked automatically.
Tilt up the film rewind crank and gently turn in the direction indicated until it stops to take up the film
slack, (fig 7).
6. Advance the film a few times, (fig 8) pressing the shutter button until the first exposure position 1
appears in the frame counter, (in between the 0 and the 2).
The film is loaded correctly if the film rewind knob rotates anticlockwise as the film is advanced.
Note:
It is advisable to avoid loading and unloading the film in direct sunlight!
5. Setting The ASA Film Speed:
After loading the film, set the ASA film speed according to the ASA speed of the film being used, (this
can be found on the box that the film came in and is the manufacturer of that films recommended
setting).
When using a film of ASA 100 for example, set the position of the film speed dial to 100 on the scale,
(fig 9).
The dial has various ASA numbers indicated on the scale with a number of dots in between that
represent the ASA numbers between the indicated numbers as shown in fig 10.
Each click stop on the dial represents these figures as given in fig 10.
