Basics of Function - continued

The first thing to get the camera open is to open the front clamshell. And to work on the camera, simply remove it by the clasp found inside.

To extend the bellows, pull up on the arrow marked 1. If it doesn't extend, pull it until it locks.

This camera has a dial under the lens with settings for film speeds of 75, 150, 300, and 3000. The dial on the front of the lens gives you +/- 2 stops in exposure control.

To focus the camera, you move the two knobs, yellow arrows, which moves the lensboard back and forth.

The 100 has the better shutter exposure controls, which gives you a scene selector switch, blue arrow. On top of the shutter housing you will see 4 squares. Two at a time are highlited as the selected scene. Choosing the appropriate one will allow your photos to come out just a bit more controlled.

Cock the shutter with the arm, red arrow, and press the shutter button, green arrow, to take a picture.
