FOCUSING

  

 

 

 
1. Turn the Focusing Ring in either direction while sighting through the Viewfinder.  
 
2. Precise focus is secured when the image of your subject appears clear, without the multiple glitter, within the 
microprism focusing spot at the center of the finder field.  
 

SENSITIVITY RANGE

  

The sensitivity range of the automatic exposure system of the TL-ELECTRO varies according to the ASA speed 
rating of the film in use. In short, the shutter speed range for automatic Thru-the-Lens exposure read-out usable 
with film of different ASA speed rating is as shown in the following table: Note: The automatic exposure read-
out will not work at shutter speed settings other than those listed in the foregoing.

FILM UNLOADING

  

 

 

1. Stop winding the Film Advance Lever when a resistance is felt. And do not force to advance the film any 
further as it may tear or come loose from the cassette, making it impossible to rewind.  
 
2. Press the Film Rewind Release Button on the base of the camera.
