Loading
and
unloading
the camera You con use ony type of film you like in the
BESSAMATIC comero. The usuo I cossettes with
perf orqted 35 mm block-ond-white or colour f ilm
give 37 or 20 exposures on colour reversol f ilm
for colour tronsporencies, or on colour negotive
film for colour prints on poper.
Although the cossettes ore light-tight, it is not o
good ideo to hondle them in full sunlight. Alwoys
loqd or unlood the comero in the shode or if
there is none, use your own shodow.
The film type indicotor (.|0) is o constont reminder
of the type of film octuolly in the comero. lf is
very eosily set by turning the centrol disc, using
the two lugs: White __ block-ond-white film;
blue- colour film for doylight, ond yellow-
colour film for ortificiol light.

Adjusting the film counter
Turn milled knob (.|6) until either C (for
36 exposure films) or O (for 20 exposure
films) oppeors under the white mork in the

window (25).
Rapid Film Wind
This should olwoys be turned os for os it will
go on ly then wi | | it retu rn to its in itio I
position. This oction tensions the shutter ond
ofter eoch exposu re, the f ilm counter will
show the number of exposures still ovoiloble.
The numbers therefore decreose from 36 (or
20) to 0.
I
When the film hos been correcily looded, the
rewind knob should turn ogoinst the direction
of the orrow when the ropid f ilm wind is
operoted. Owing to different tensions of films
in their cossettei, the knob will first turn ofter
between 3 to 6 exposures.

Sometimes, when trying to moke more thon
36 or 20 exposures on one roll of film, the
ropid film wind lever connot be swung round
completely ond is locked. ln this cose, do nol
opply force this would only result in
teoring ihe perforotions or cousing the end
of the film to slip out of the cossette.
Proceed os follows: Set reversing lever to "R"
(which moy be rother difficult), turn the ropid
film wind os for os it will go ond let it slide
bock to its originol position. You con now
rewind the f ilms os described obove.

pu ll out rewind knob (.|3) but on ly to the f irst stop
(see illustrotion). Then turn the rewind knob in the
direction of the engroved orrow until the mork I
(36-exposure cossette) or the mork O (20-exposure
cossette) is opposite the white index line in the
f ilm cou nter window once qgo in. Now you co n
open the comero-bock, pull out the rewind knob
os for os possible, ond remove the film cossette
from.the comero.

Rewind the portly exposed film os described obove.
Remember to moke o note of ihe number of the lost
exposed f rome, ond to re-set the f ilm speed ond f ilm
type if necessory.
When relooding the originol film, first of oll ploce the
block lens cop over the front lens mount. Then insert the
film in the usuol woy qnd olternotely work the ropid
