[. . . ] The operating range of brightness of the built-in exposure meter is from 6. 4 to 6400 cd/m. The film sensitivity range is from 25 to 800 units of GOST/ISO. A battery or a set of cells rated to 6V (overall dimensions: dia 13 mm, height 20. 5 mm) type PX27 is used as a power source. The camera operates over the temperature range from minus 15 to plus 45°C (when the camera is completed with a power source whose operating temperature range is less than the above-mentioned one, the camera operating range is limited respectively). [. . . ] The winding of the exposed film end is carried out by transporting the film with the further depressing of the release button after each frame till the figure "0" is set opposite the index in frame counter window 11. When the camera has been loaded correctly, film rewinding knob 14 rotates upon, cocking the shutter. Should the film have been wound up loosely, knob 14 may fail to rotate at the first pictures. To avoid overloading the film transport mechanism at cocking the shutter, it is recommended not to press the camera back and hold it by the upper cover with the left hand. 4. 3. Shooting The shooting process comprises the following jobs: opening of camera front cover; shutter cocking and film rewinding; diaphragm setting; lens focusing; viewing and framing; shutter releasing. Upon the full opening of the camera fron cover the lens moves out to the operating position and release button 10 becomes free of interlocking. As has been mentioned above, the shutter cocking and the film rewending are carried out by double turning of film lever 12. In doing so, the frame counter scale turns through one division. Set the diaphragm by turning ring 8 until the index on it coincides with the selected value in diaphragm scale 9. Available in the viewfinder are a shutter speed scale and an indicator pointer. The scale from 1/500 to 1/30 covers the exposure time range in which you are recommended to take pictures without a tripod. At the exposure times of over 1/30 s the indicator pointes sways below the "30" mark in the lower hatched sector. If the indicator pointer reads above the "500" mark in the upper hatched sector, reduce the aperture so as to avoid over- exposure in shooting. In case the indicator pointer reads above the "500" mark the shutter may not operate (blind exposure is produced). x (it is shown by two arrows in the picture). Select the exposure time depending on the subject to be photographed by varying the diaphragm aperture. Remember that the shutter after being released may remain in open position if the photographing is carried out under slight light when the exposure value is more than 4 s. This indicates that the photography conditions do not correspond to the control system design limits. At the next shutter cocking the camera doesn not fail to operate. to eliminate the indicator pointer sealing in its extreme positions rap on the viewfinder upper cover. Focus the lens by turning ring 6 until the distance value to the subject to be photographed coincides with the index in scale 7. Probable errors in estimating a distance by eye are compensated by a great focal depth of the lens. Viewing and framing of the subject are to be carried out by observing its image in the viewfinder field of vision limited by a luminous frame. [. . . ] To avoid seating the optical surfaces upon bringing the camera from frost into a warm room, do not open it immediately, let it get warm for 2-3 hours. Close the camera front cover during intervals of shooting. In doing so, the power source is switched off and the battery capacity is not wasted. Remove the power source from the camera in the evnt of a long-time storage. [. . . ]
