Changing the film
Always begin by checking that a film is not already
loaded by turning the pull-out rewind button (15)
in the direction of the arrow. Any resistance indi-
cates film in the camera; if so, proceed as des-
cribed in the section "Rewinding and removing
the film” on page 68.
Take the camera in your left hand, so that the
bottom cover is facing upwards.
Opening the camera
1. Fold up the toggle (28) on the bottom cover (25).
2. Turn it to the left.
3. Lift off the bottom cover.
4. Open the hinged rear panel (23).
Note:
When the rear panel is open, three contacts (29)
for transmission of the set film speed to the ex-
posure metering system are visible on the panel
and on the camera housing. These contacts are
gold plated and therefore protected from corrosi-
on and extremely insensitive to soiling. Special
care is not therefore necessary.
However, when changing the film, you should en-
sure that severe impurities or direct wetting from
raindrops etc. are avoided.
