Compose the image using the optical viewfinder, set focus manually by rotating the focus ring until the subject appears sharp, and choose shutter speed and aperture according to lighting conditions and desired depth of field. Advance the film after each exposure using the film advance lever and monitor frame counter to track remaining exposures. Rewind the film into the cartridge using the rewind mechanism before opening the back to remove the exposed roll.
