Tips
Power on/off:
...
When you pull the film-advance lever to the standoff position and lightly press
the shutter-release button, the exposure-meter turns on and the exposure in-
dication appears in the viewfinder.
...
When you are not using the camera, keep the film-advance lever set to its
home position to prevent the shutter from being inadvertently released.
Film-Advance Lever
...
To advance the film, pull the film-advance lever out to the standoff position, then wind the lever
until it stops. This operation advances the film by a single frame, and enables the next shutter
release.
...
The lever stops advancing when the film roll reaches the end. In this case, rewind the film. Do
not forcibly advance the lever further or you might damage the film or the camera.
The film-advance lever also provides a lock
function for the shutter-release button.
In rare cases the film-advance lever meets strong resistance. If so, the film may
have been advanced unevenly. Do not advance it forcibly. Rewind the film.
