Meopta FLEXARET AUTOMAT VI Manuel D’Utilisation

 

 

 
 
 
When the 35mm film insert is installed, the number 35 shows in a window at the back of 
the camera to indicate 35mm film is installed.  The number 60 shows when 120 film is 
used. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
When the camera is loaded with 35mm film, 
you need to rotate the frame counter reset knob 
behind the frame counter ¼ turn after every 
10

th

 picture.  Rotating the reset knob causes the 

frame counter to return to 1.  Otherwise, the 
counter will go to frame 11, 12 and then red 
dots with no frame spacing control.  In other 
words, you will not get all of the pictures on 
your roll of 35mm film, the film will wind all 
of the way to the end without stopping.  The 

reset knob has an indexing window with the numbers 0, 1, 2 and 3.  This allows you to 
keep track of the number of pictures that you have taken.  For example, on a 36 exposure 
roll of 35mm film, if you remember to turn the index lever to the next number after every 
10

th

 exposure, you would have a 3 index and a 6 film counter number for the 36

th

 

exposure. 

 
 
The button above the shutter release is a shutter release-locking switch, 
red indicates the shutter is not locked.   
 
 
 
 
 

 
On the upper left side of the camera is the camera back release button.  
The button unscrews several turns and then pushes in to release the 
camera back.  To prevent accidental door opening, it is recommended 
that the button be turned all of the way in.
