Push the paper leader deeply into the long slot of the
empty spool (user the crank 32 for correct
positioning). Tighten the film by turning the crank
(lower spool must be braked with the thumb) until the
arrow sign on the backing paper is in coincidence with
the red index on the camera body.
Closing the back cover: Fold lock lever 25 to the hol-
ding bolt and secure with safety clip 24.
Note:
Film must ever be inserted by utilizing the
shadow of the own body, never in full sunlight.
Advancing the film to No. 1: Turn crank 32
continuously to its stop and in opposite direction until it
stops again. The crank is now locked in its starting posi-
tion. The film frame counter 34 indicates No. 1, the
shutter is cocked, the film is ready for the first exposure.
