INTRODUCTIONYour new camera is an autom"ri"i*nt, sensitive photocell regulating the"";;";;;;;
aperture size. All you do is press the shutter release to obtain perfectly expose pictures,in color or black and white. In your viewfinder field can be seen a scale indicating theaperture size at the instant of shooting. This scale also shows whether your subject isbright enough for automatic exposure control. A built-in coupled rangefinder permits you
to focus accurately by means of a double-image focusing spot at the center of the viewfinder field. Viewfinder parallax is eliminated by automatic compensation, and an indication appears in the viewfinder field when the end of your film is reached.
Operation of this superb camera is simplicity itself, but since it is a precision instrument,
read these instructions carefully before actual picture-taking.
TWO INPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER

1. To avoid damage to your camera, neaer turn the aperture ring (7) or the filmspeed(ASA) lever (8) while pressing the shutter release (2).
2. While the shutter release (2) is in operation, the automatic aperture control ismomentarily disengaged. Therefore, do not press down the shutter release (2) until thevery instant of picture-taking

LOADING WITH FILM
When loading o. ,rnlouding film, always avoid direct sunlight. Work under subdued light,
using your own body to snield camera and film if no other shade is available. Your camera

www.butkus.uswill accept any type of 3S-millimeter film, either color or black and white, preloaded instandard cassettes.
TO LOAD YOUR GAMERA
1. Pull down the camera back latch (14). This will release the camera back, which canthen be swung open to the right.
2. Pull out the rewind crank (13) as far as possible (Fig. 1).
3. Place a cassette containing film in the film cassette chamber (15) with the knob end
toward the bottom of the camera. Push down the rewind crank (13) so that its spindle
engages the cassette, making certain that the crank hub is fully seated. If the spindle fails toengage properly, turn the crank slightly. Pull out about four inches of film. Fold about aquarter-inch of the end inward, toward the dull emulsion side, with the crease formed at
one of the perforations (Fig. 2).

4. Turn the film take-up spool (17) with your thumb so that the grooved portion faces
toward you. Hook the folded end of the film in this recess, with the perforation at theacrease engaging the little metal tab on the spool. While holding the hooked end of thefilm securely against the take-up spool, operate the cocking lever (1) so that the film winds
onto the spool for about one turn (Fig. 3).
5. Next, while holding the cassette in position, turn the rewind crank (13) in the direction of the arrow to take up all slack inside the cassette (Fig. a).
6. Opearte the cocking lever (1) or turn the take-up spool (17) with your thumb, taking
up a little of the film. This will show you whether or not the sprocket (16) is engaging theperforations on the lower side of the film. The rewind crank (13) should turn counterclock-wise against the arrow mark, and the film should play smoothly out of its cassette. Closethe camera back, and press down to lock.
7. Next, apply the tip of your thumb to the film counter adjustment (4), and turnin the direction indicated by the arrow to set the film counter at one of the two " S "marks. With a 20-exposure roll of film, use the " S " three steps ahead of the numeral
20. With 36-exposure film, use the starting mark three steps ahead of numeral 36.
8. Cover the lens with the lens cap. Operate both the cocking lever (1) and the shutter
release (2) three times so that the film counter (3) indicates either number 20 or 36, thenumber of exposures available on your roll of film.
POINTS TO NOTE

1) The film counter is numbered in reverse sequence, and indicates the number ofexposures remaining on your roll of film.
2) Toward the end of its stroke, the cocking lever (1) will become slightly harderto move. At this points the film is being advanced one frame. Continue operation

www.butkus.us.sr->\.JA

G" "t,v."tto the end of tfre fuit stroke. The lever will then return to its starting position.
3) When the full stroke of the cocking lever (1) has been completed, the film has
been advanced one frame, and the shutter has been cocked. Normally, the cocking
lever will remain locked until the shutter release (2) is pressed. But on rare occasions
the cocking lever may become unlocked by partial operation of the shutter release. Inthis case a frame of film will be wasted if the cocking lever is operated. This is not a
malfunction of your camera.
4) When there is no film in your camera, the cocking lever can be operated repeated-

ly without releasing the shutter mechanism.
5) If when operating the cocking lever (1) the rewind crank (13) fails to turnagainst the arrow it means that the film is not being taken up properly.
counterclockwise'ss.. When this happenes,
rewind the film into its cassete (as explained later), and repeat(othe loading operation. Once your camera is properly loaded, do not turn the rewindrvr
crank. Whether or not your camera contains film can be checked by gently moving..ss'the rewind crank (13) in the direction of the arrow. A slight resistance indicates theS
\Jpresence of film. Do not wind any further.

9. Finally, set the filmspeed (ASA) lever (8) at the ASA number of the film you,}\U, .{ have loaded. To set the lever, gently press downward, and shift to the desired ASA
setting. Do not press the shutter release (2) when making this adjustment. Once.

FIOLDING YOUR CAMERAYour camera may be used in either a horizontal or vertical position. Any comfortable grip
will do as long as the camera is kept steady when the shutter is released.
Normally, the hand that is not operating the shutter release should act as the main
support, and camera movement, and make certain that the lens and photocell (9) are notobstructed by your fingers or the cover of the camera case.

AUTOMATIC PICTURE-TAKING BY ETECTRIC EYEFirst adjust the AUTO-Manual aperture ring (?) so that " AUTO " is squarely against

www.butkus.us
the red index mark.
Next, make a choice of ashutterspeed, and set this selected speed against the red index

mark by turning the shutterspeed dial (6). There are four shutterspeeds available : 250
Q1250 second), 125 (lll25 second), 60 (1/60 second), and 30 (1/30 second). Shutterspeed
is governed by the conditions presented by your subject. Generally speaking, the brighter
the subject and the higher your filmspeed (ASA rating), the faster shoule be your shutterspeed. Also, if your subject is in motion, it is wise to use a fast shutterspeed.
FOCUSING

To focus your camera accurately on your subject, sight your subject and bring some easily. distinguishable portion in the area of the center focusing spot of the viewfinder field. You will
see a double image in this focusing spot. By turning the focusing ring (10) it is possible toobtain a single image. When a sharp and clear single image is obtained, the subject is in correct
focus, and thedistance from thecamera (focal planemark) to the subject is indicatedon the distancescal. By noting
this distance, andthe aperture size
indicated in theviewfinder field, you can learn the available depth of field (focusing tolerance) by referingto the depth of field table.
When focusing, take note of the following points:
1) Point your camera so that the principal subject is seen inside the center focusing
spot, particularly when shooting at close range.
2) Make use of verticals for focus adjustments. Such objects as poles, window frames(uprights), the nose and cheek lines of human subjects, or their eyeglass frames present
targets for easy adjustment.
3) When taking vertical pictures, it is easier to focus first in horizontal position.
Parallax is automatically eliminated Your camera is provided with automatic parallax
compensation. The focusing mechanism automatically shifts the viewfinder frame so thatyour subject is always properly centered in the camera field. There is no fear of lopping off
portions of your subject.
WHEN PRESSING THE SHUTTER RETEASE NOTE THE VISUAT INDICATIONS IN YOUR VIEWFINDERYour camera will visually inform you of focus setting (by center focusing spot),
aperturesizejustpriortoexposure,andtheendofyourfilmwhenthelastexposure
has been made. The lower side of the bright gold frame of the viewfinder is broadened
to form a scale traversed by a moving marker. The scale is graduated in aperture sizes,
or f/ stops : 22, L6, 11, 8, 5.6, 4 and 2.8, so you can see what aperture size is used whenJI':

you make your exposure.

Speed dial for a slower speed, use a film with a higher ASA rating, or use a flashunit.

'[V'henthe moving marker is ofr-scale to the left, your subject is too bright. Your picture
is likely to be over-exposed. In this case, you must use a faster shutterspeed, or use afilter to reduce the intensity of the light which reaches your film. A slower film may be
used if desired.

Note: Checking of the aperture scale indication must be done before you press theshutter release. Once pressure is applied to the shutter release, the automatic exposure
mechanism becoms locked. Do not press until the very instant of shooting, making
certain that the marker is " on-scale."
When " END " appears in the viewfinder field, your entire roll of film has been exposed.
Cease taking pictures, and rewind film back into its cassette.
WHEN USING FILTERS

For certain subjects and lighting conditions you may
wish to use filters. With your camera there is no need

to worry about filter factors because both the lens andthe photocell (electric eye) are covered by the same

filter, and automatic exposure control remains effective.

Your camera will accept Toshiba 49'mm screw-in
filters, available in light yellow, light orange and ultraviolet (haze filter). It will also take a 49-mm special
lens hood which should be used whenever possible towww.butkus.usaguard against off-angle rays and reflections that might cause ffare in your pictures.

SPECIAT IIGT{TING CONDITIONSBAGKI.IGHTINGi

When the light source is behind your subject, the electric eye will sense more light thanis actually being reflected by the subject, and the result will be underexposure. When you
wish to obtain detail in the shadows of a backlighted subject, shift to manual control (described later). The use of a lens hood is strongly recommended when photographing backlighted subjects so that direct rays from the light source do not strike the lens.
FIASH PHOTOGRAPHY

When your subject is too dark for automatic electric-eye shooting, a flash unit may beused. A compact BC unit will attach directly to the camera's accessory clip (20). Plugthe connecting cord into the synchroflash terminal (19), and adjust focus by turning thefocusing ring (10) while sighting through the viewfinder.
Your camera has a built-in synchronizing mechanism designed for X setting (no delayed
action of the shutter), so the shutterspeeds should be as follows :1/30 second fo: class M flashbulbs
1/30 or 1/60 second for class F flashbulbs
any of the four speeds for electronic flash
The proper aperture size for correct exposure depends on the light output of the flash, andthe distance between the flash and the subject. The light output of the flash is indicated by theguide number given in the instructions accompanying your flashbulbs or electronic flash unit.

Read the distance on the distance scale of your camera after focusing. Obtain the proper aperture value by dividing the guide number by the distance, and set this aperture value on theAUTO-Manual aperture ring (7), ignoring the aperture indication in the viewfinder field.
NON-AUTOilATIG OPERATION

By shifting the AUTO-Manual aperture ring (7) from " AUTO " to the click-stop aperturescale, your camera can be made to function as a normal 35-millimeter camera, with manual

setting of shutterspeed and aperture controls. In this case, the aperture scale indication
inside the viewfinder has no bearing on the aperture value as set by hand. However, thecorrect f/ stop for the shutterspeed selected will be indicated, so that in effect you have abuilt-in exposure meter for your guidance.
When shooting a subject silhouetted against a bright background, and you wish to capture
shadow detail, set the AUTO-Manual aperture ring (7) by handat a setting a step or two higher (bigger opening) than the value
indicated by the aperture scale marker in the viefinder.

REWINDING AND UNTOADING FIIM
When the film counter (3) indicates " o " and the indication" END " appears in the viewinder, you have exposed the fullroll of film. Stop taking pictures, and rewind the film into
its cassette in the following manner:
1. Return the cocking lever (1) to its original position; thenmove the rewind button (18) in the direction indicated by thejwww.butkus.us,,,-\arrow.

2- Unfold the rewind crank (13), and turn it clockwise as indicated by the arrow. Thisaction will wind the exposed film back into its cassette.
3. When the end of the film becomes detached from the take-up spool (12), you will feel it.
Stop turning the rewind crank, open the camera back, pull out the rewind crank, and withdraw
the cassette.
CAUTION

If too much film is wound onto the take-up spool at the time of loading, the end of the rollof film will be reached before the film counter indicates " o " and " END " appears in theviewfinder. In this case the action of the cocking lever will become sluggish. Complete thestrok to permit the lever to return to its original position ; then stop shooting, and rewind.
The rewind button (18) will automatically return to proper position upon operation of
the cocking lever (1).
