to pull the film already rolled on the spool with a view to tightening it as the action
causes scratches on the emulsion face of the film. The film should be held carefully
by its sides so that no finger-prints are left on its emulsion side.
Fig. 5
Insert the film-loaded spool in the inner casing so that the spool head fits into the
opening in the casing bottom. A 8 to 10-cm length of film end should be left free.
Insert the inner casing with the film spool into the outer casing. The inner casing
should be latched inside the outer casing with the locking spring which enters the
recess on the magazine outer casing edge.
After that, the magazine can be handled by daylight.
Note. The "Zorki-6" camera can be used with other types of film magazines, too,
provided their sizes meet the Specifications for the standard magazine delivered with
the "Zorki-6" camera set.
3. Camera Loading (Figs. 1, 2, 4)
Prior to loading the camera, make sure that the shutter mechanism is engaged and
operative.
See that buttons 2 and 4 are brought to their upward positions. Set the camera shutter
by turning lever 21 as far as it will go. Pull shutter speed dial 5 up and set it at the
selected division opposite the index made on the dial axle. When released, the shutter
speed dial should go down to assume position in which the dial upper surface stands
almost level with the index plane.
If the shutter mechanism operates upon pressing shutter release button 2, the camera
mechanism is sound and the camera may be loaded. Pull a 10-cm length of film out of
the magazine (Fig. 4), and, if necessary, cut it accurately by about half the film width.
When cutting, see that the cut does not run through perforation holes. The film end
should be cut carefully, without burrs and ruptures involved to obviate the film
stickings in the film guides, or its breaking, which brings about fouling or even failure
of the camera.
Open the camera back cover, secure the film end under the take-up spool spring, and
make sure that the uncut film edge closely fits the spool flange.
When the magazine
is being inserted in the camera or removed from it, the film reverse take-up knob
