Attaching the lens 5, 6
Make sure that both camera and lens are fully
wound. The illustration shows the correct rela-
tionship between the drive shaft, the lens drive
coupling and their indexes.
If the lens is not wound, you can insert a small
coin or similar in the coupling slot and rotate it
clockwise until it locks (about 4/5 of a turn)
When you have aligned the red index on the
lens with the one on the camera as in the il-
lustration, the lens will drop easily into the
bayonet fitting. You can then rotate it clockwise
until it stops with a faint click as the lens catch
locks it in place.
Removing the lens
7
Depress the lens release button and rotate the
lens counter-clockwise until it stops and lift it
out of the mount.
!
You can only remove the lens when the camera
is fully wound and not in the pre-released mode
(see “pre-release and cable release).
Attaching and removing
the magazine
8, 9, 10
Ensure that the magazine slide is fully inserted
with the hinge towards the front of the camera
(see fig 8) and that the magazine status indica-
tor is white. If the indicator is red then see un-
der “Magazine status indicator”. It is also advis-
able to have the camera fully wound.
Rest the magazine on the magazine supports
making sure that the lugs are properly engaged
in the recesses. Carefully swing the magazine
towards the camera body and check that the
camera’s upper support hooks fit into the slots
in the magazine.
Push the magazine gently but firmly against
the hooks while sliding the magazine catch to
the right. Release the button when the maga-
zine has made contact with the camera body,
and then push the button to the left to ensure
that it has reached the locked position. Remove
the slide to positively lock the magazine to the
camera body.
Removing the magazine
Removing the magazine is simply the reverse of
the attaching procedure.
It is advisable to have the camera fully wound
and the magazine indicator displaying white.
See ‘Magazine Operation’ for a general expla-
nation of these magazine features.
Insert the magazine slide fully with the hinge
towards the front of the camera. Slide the mag-
azine catch to the right, swing the magazine
back and lift it off the lower supports.
!
The magazine cannot be removed without first
inserting the magazine slide.
!
Note also that the camera cannot be operated
when a magazine, with slide inserted, is at-
tached to the camera.
