Removing a lens
1. Hold the lens by the fixed ring (16).
2. Press down the unlocking button (3) on the
camera housing.
3. Turn the lens to the left until its index button
(16 b) is aligned with the unlocking button.
4. Carefully remove the lens from the camera
body, keeping it aligned vertically.
Note:
With a film loaded, you should change the lens in
the shadow of your own body, as direct sunlight
can result in light getting in through the shutter.
