Setting the Film Speed
As film sensitivity to light (called “film speed”) varies
with film type, adjustment of the camera’s metering
circuit is essential to ensure uniform exposures under all
conditions. Thus, a film-speed dial is provided for this
purpose, with a safety lock mechanism built in to
prevent accidental shifting of the dial during shooting.
To set the film speed, hold in the film-speed dial lock
and turn the ASA film-speed dial until the ASA number
is aligned with the red index. After setting the dial,
release the lock and test the dial to ensure that it is set
firmly at the desired ASA value. The meter is sensitive
from ASA 12 to ASA 4000. The film-speed dial has two
graduations between each pair of numbers for inter
mediate settings such as 64, 80, 125, etc. The illustration
below indicates all intermediate settings.

Memo Holder
A special holder is provided on the camera back for con
venient storage of any relevant information. You can use
it, for instance, to hold the end flap of a film carton to
remind you of the type of film loaded in the camera, the
ASA film speed and the total number of exposures
available.
