Film Advance Lever @
The film advance lever also functions to lock the shutter release
button. The shutter release button lock is released when you
move the lever to the standoff position. To advance the film,
wind the lever to the right completely until it stops. The lever
returns to the standoff position automatically after you take your
thumb off the lever. A single complete stroke advances the film
one frame and simultaneously cocks the shutter.
Note:
At the end of the roll of film, the lever cannot be wound any further.
In this case, don't force the lever; just release your finger, depress the
film rewind button and rewind the film using the rewind crank.

Frame Counter
The additive type frame counter is graduated from S - - 1 2 4—
up to 36 in even numbers with odd numbers indicated by white
dots in between the even numbers. No matter whether the film
cartridge is loaded properly or not, the frame counter still
operates and advances a single frame by one complete stroke
of the film advance lever. After reaching frame 36 of a 36-
exposure roll of film, the counter will not operate even if you
repeatedly press the shutter release button and wind the film
advance lever; film will be advanced, however, until the actual
end of the film roll. The frame counter automatically resets to
S when the camera back is opened.
Note:
Even on A, the automatic mode does not function prior to the first
frame and, regardless of the lighting condition, the shutter speed is fixed
at 1/250 sec. When the frame counter reaches one, the automatic expo
sure mode begins. On manual, the shutter speed is activated as set even
prior to frame one.
