Film wind and rewind

1

Before

turning

the rapid

wind

lever, slowly turn the film rewind
knob

clockwise

until

a slight

resistance

is felt.

This prevents

loosening or warping of the film.

2

The first portions of the film can-
not be used for picture taking as
they have already been exposed
to light. Generally, two blank ex-
posures

should

be made

before

taking

your first picture.

Cock

the rapid wind lever until it stops.
Watch to see that the film rewind

10

knob automatically

turns

coun-

ter-clockwise,

indicating

that the

film is moving

from cassette

to

take-up spool.

Trip the shutter.

Cock

the

rapid

wind lever

for

the first

picture;

the exposure

counter

automatically

turns

to

'1', indicating

that

the first pic-

ture is ready

to be taken.

3

After

the

final

picture

on the

roll (20 or 36 exposures)

has been

taken,

the rapid wind lever will

not turn all the way as you stroke
it.

This indicates that the final

picture

has been taken

on your

film, and that the film must be
rewound.

DON'T open the back

of the

camera,

or all exposed

frames

will be ruined.

4

Unfold the film rewind

crank.

S

Depress

the film rewind

release

button.

Turn the rewind

crank

to rewind

the film into the film

cassette.

The film rewind crank

permits

rewinding

at a smooth,

even rate.

(Under some atmos-

pheric conditions,

erratic

or too

rapid rewinding

will cause static

electricity

marks

on the film.)

You will feel the tension on the
rewind crank lessen as the leader
end of the film slips off the take-
up spool.

Stop rewinding

when you feel

this

happen.

AVOID

DIRECT

SUNLIGHT

WHEN

UNLOAD-

ING YOUR FILM.

(The rewind

release

button

will

return

to

normal position as you load your
next

film

and

turn

the

rapid

wind lever.)

6

Pull out the film rewind

knob

(the

back

will open

automati-

cally), and remove the film cas-
sette.

Bright field focusing

1

You can start

viewing and focusing

before

and after

cocking

the rapid

wind lever.

When the preview lever

is in "AUTO"

(automatic)

position,

and the meter is at "OFF",

the dia-

phragm

is fully open except

for the

moment

of exposure.

2

Turn

the distance

scale

ring

until

your subject image is clearly in focus.

It

is not always

necessary

for you to

view and focus with the diaphragm
fully open.

In bright

sunlight,

you

can

easily

focus

with

diaphragm

closed to f/5.6 or f/8 and still ob-
serve the depth of field.

It is easi-

er, however,

to focus with the dia-

phragm

fully open as your

subject

image is much brighter.

When the letters "MAN" appears

beside the lever, the lens is in manual
position;

when "AUTO"

appears,

it

is in automatic

position.

Microprism

Honeywell

Pentax

cameras

have a

Fresnel

lens with a microprism

cen-

ter underneath

the ground glass.

As

you look through

the finder, you will

see that the Fresnel

lens consists of

many concentric

rings which provide

the brightest

possible image on the

ground

glass.

The microprism

is the center

por-

tion of this diaphragm.

When

your

subject

is in focus, the image in the

microprism

will be sharp

and per-

fectly .clear.

If

your subject

is not

in focus, the microprism

will break

the image up into many small dots,
much like an engraver's

screen.

You

can focus your subject on any por-
tion of the ground

glass.
