When desiring to pull out the dark
slide of the roll film holder which has
been removed from the body
When the roll film holder for the Pro-S is
removed from the body, the safety device
prevents its dark slide from being pulled out
carelessly or accidentally. However, if you
desire to pull it out, it can be pulled out by
using your fingernail tip to press the dark
slide lock release lever (40) on the bottom
of the outer cassette.
Releasing the lens shutter which has
been removed from the body
It is advisable to release the shutter when
the lens is not to be used for a long period.
To release a lens shutter which is removed
from the camera body, turn the cocking
pins (56) clockwise, while pressing the
shutter lock pin (55) with a finger. The
cocking pins should be turned all the way;
do NOT leave the pins turned only halfway..
Shutter testing when the film is
loaded
When the shutter is cocked, the dark slide
is slightly pulled out (approx. 1/4 in.) and
the shutter release button is pressed, the
shutter can be released without exposing
the film in the roll film holder to light. This
operation can be utilized for shutter testing
prior to photographing.
*
When pulling out the dark slide. stop pulling at a
point where the entire triangular hole on the dark slide
becomes visible. If the shutter is released when the
dark slide is pulled out beyond that hole, the film will
be exposed to light.
* When the shutter is released, a red mark appears
on the exposure counter.
* When taking the first photograph subsequent to
this test, cock the shutter in the multiexposure condi-
tion, and pull out the dark slide. For taking pictures
following the first one, restore the multiexposure lever
to its normal position and continue photographing.
