Attention!

The   present   Instruction   Manual   contains   the   basic   characteristics
and essential operating principles  of 

ZENIT-EM

 camera, but  it  can

not be regarded as a hand-book on photography.

Before using the camera make thorough study of its handling rules
given in the present Manual.

Due  to  ever-advancing development  in camera  construction, minor
differences may occur between the text and your camera.

Load  and   unload  the   camera  in subdued light   avoiding  direct   sun
rays.

Do  not   rotate  the   shutter speed   dial  within  the   interval  between
"B" and "500".

Do not rotate the shutter release button for no reason to avoid dis-
engagement of the shutter cocking mechanism.

Wind the shutter  by two-three small turnings of the winding lever
until stop to avoid blank exposures.

Do not  keep  the camera for a long period of time with the shutter
cocked since this is likely to cause deterioration of the shutter.
