When the camera is fully opened, the interlock
switch (S6), located at the left rear corner of
the mirror cover, is closed and the battery is
connected to the camera electrical circuit.
(Figure 1-4).
The front coverlatchis located on the right side
of the camera just inside the rim of the bottom
cover assembly. Pressing down on this yellow
latch releases the front cover which drops down
to expose the film chamber. With the cover open,
a film pack can be inserted or an exhausted pack
can be removed.
A fresh film pack is loaded into the film chamber
observing color coding (Figure 1-5). Under
certain circunstances a partially used pack could
be inserted, but this action will cause some
deviation in the normal counting sequence.
The battery is a part of each film pack, and the
two exposed terminals on the pack engage two
contacts within the film chamber as the pack is
inserted.
With the film pack in place, the front cover can
be closed. It must be fully closed and latched.
