But, if winding is possible, rotating the film winding crank until it stops will automatically
take care of the incomplete actions, whether the shutter is not fully cocked or film not fully
advanced. Thus, it is always possible to choose the film type most suited for the shot, even
midway in the roll.
Additional film backs including a Polaroid film back are available optionally in 6 x 6, 6 x 4.5
and 35mm formats.
* Refer to the instructions supplied with Film Back SQ 135 for proper use of that particular
film back.
* The accessory Film Back SQ/B 120 does not have the film speed and exposure compensa-
tion dials. This film back can be attached to other SQ cameras but the exposure meter, if
applied, will not operate.
* It is possible to attach a film back incorporating the film speed and exposure compensa-
tion dials to the main camera body of the SQ-B but finders with built-in exposure meters
will not activate.
A. To attach the film back to the main camera body, simply insert the
latches at the upper end of the film back into the attachment open-
ings at the upper end of the main camera body. Then, press the lower
end of the film back against the main body until it locks securely.
B. To remove the film back from the main camera body, insert the
dark slide into the dark slide slit, as illustrated, with the mark on the
dark slide at the top end. Push it all the way in.
C. Depress the film back release button and the lower end of the film
back can be removed, as illustrated. Simply shift the film back up
slightly and pull it away.
* The dark slide cannot be withdrawn from the film back when the
film back is detached from the main camera body.
* The dark slide must be withdrawn from its slit, upon attachment of
the film back to the main body, as otherwise the shutter cannot be
released. Furthermore, there is danger of the film back accidentally
becoming detached from the main body, should the dark slide be left
in its slit while the camera is being carried. Therefore, make it a rule
to withdraw the dark slide promptly upon attaching the film back to
the main body.
