Loading Film: Open the camera back, pull up the rewind knob, insert the film leader into the take-up spool, advance the film, and close the back.
Setting Film Speed: Lift and rotate the knurled speed knob to set the ASA film speed.
Cock the Shutter: Operate the film advance lever to cock the shutter.
Taking a Picture: Frame your shot, focus using the lens focusing ring, adjust aperture and shutter speed, and press the release button.
Battery Test: Set ASA to 100 and speed knob to 'bulb,' then push the exposure meter on/off switch. A good battery will cause the needle to jump to the 'underexposure' position.
