on the camera back, press one finger lightly against the center, and
turn it to the type and speed of the film loaded in the camera. One of
the three pointers next to the appropriate symbol (black-and-white
chevron for black-and-white film, sun on red background for daylight
type color film, or lamp on red background for artificial light type color
film) should point to the required film speed in ASA or DIN. This then
shows at a glance what film is loaded in the camera.

When you have exposed the whole film, the transport lever can no
longer be moved; a sign that the film must be rewound into its
cassette. Set the reversing lever on the front of the camera to "R",
pull out the rewind knob (see illustration on page 24), and turn it in
the direction of the arrow until you feel a resistance. Wind past the
resistance, and give the rewind knob about one more turn. The film
will now have come off the take-up spool, but a short piece should
still protrude from the cassette. You can then open the camera (see
page 24), and remove the cassette with the exposed film. It is not
advisable to rewind the film end fully into the cassette, because the
protruding piece makes the cassette more light-tight. Make a note,
however, on this piece that the film is exposed.
You can also partially expose the film, say the first ten frames,
rewind it, and change to another film (e.g. color). When reloading the
first film proceed as with unexposed film, and then keep releasing
the shutter and advancing the film with a lens cap over the lens, until
the film counter indicates No. 12. It is necessary to keep a space of
one full frame in order to avoid overlapping.
