FOR SAFETY'S SAKE  

Your Konica camera reflects the latest advances in photographic engineering and is designed to give you 
dependable, trouble-free use. Operation is probably somewhat different from cameras which you have 
previously owned. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you shoot a "test" roll of film, have this roll 
processed, and examine the pictures before exposing additional rolls. The processed "test" roll 

will 

verify that 

you are using your new equipment correctly, and allow you to make any necessary changes in operating 
patterns; additionally, it will confirm that all camera functions are operating perfectly. In the event you are 
leaving on a trip (or some equally important events shortly, your Konica dealer can recommend the fastest way
