Shutter Disengaging Ring - Mashpriborintorg ZORKI-4 Instruction Manual

Zorki-4
Do not attempt to pull the film if you wish to tighten after rolling on the spool, as-this is liable to
cause scratches on the emulsion face of the film.
The film should be held by its sides so that no finger prints are left on its emulsion side.
Insert the film-loaded spool into the inner casing so that the spool head enters the opening in the
casing bottom. Place the inner casing into the outer casing, leaving the film end free. Turn the inner
casing in the outer casing counterclockwise (holding the magazine with the spool head backward) until
the magazine lock clicks. While doing this, see that the free end of the film does not sink in the outer
casing altogether as the inner casing is being turned.
This done, the magazine may be handled by daylight.
Camera Loading
The camera may be loaded with film by daylight (bright sunlight is not recommended). Before
loading see to it that the dot on the camera lop surface, the dot on the shutter disengaging ring and the
one on the release button are aligned.
Open the camera and remove the take-up spool. Draw a 10-cm length of the film free end from the
magazine (Fig. 6), and attach it to the take-up spool inserting it under the spool spring. Make sure that
the film edge closely fits the spool flange. Fig. 6 shows the cut end of the film, as it is done by the
Manufacturer.
Insert the magazine into the camera so that the pin fixing the magazine in the camera fits into the
recess in the magazine outer casing projection. At the same time, put the take-up spool on its driver so
that the film transport sprocket teeth engage the film perforation (Fig. 3).
