READ ME FIRST
The camera is shipped with the light shield cur-
tain in the open position. 
Therefore you cannot remove the body cap 
unless you close the curtain first. 
Please read page 10 of the instruction book 
first. 
The camera will not function without a battery. 
Please read pages 8 and 9 next. 
You will want to practice with the camera with-
out film. This can be done in two ways. Either 
leave the back cover open or set the Multi 
Exposure Lever to Multi. 
The instruction book was written for the black 
finished camera. Subsequently a silver model 
was added. The white index marks and dots on 
the black model appear in black on the silver 
model.
