@iL3yt0n22 the one opposite of the shutter, is a timer, and X and M labels are for flash sync:) I simply do not touch those, just because my timer is not working properly, and I do not sync flash with my yashica:)

@tatsuya7sep Thanks for that! Now it makes better sense :)

Just want to know what the two switch on the front are; the one opposite of the one to flick when you take a shot and the other one that has 'X' and 'M' labels.

@iL3yt0n22 Then, you can open the box, and you are done!:) Does it help? Sorry, I was out of town...

Did you figure it out about "the other little knobs"?

[tatsuya7sep]

@iL3yt0n22 let's see... When you load the film, as you wind the film, you will see the red line moving.

as soon as you see the "1", the counter will lock the nob to wind the film. Now, you are ready to shoot.

after you shoot the shot, you press the button ON THE "WINDING NOB", THEN, you wind. Number "2" will show up, and counter will lock the winder. Shoot again.

6x6 camera can shoot 12 shots with 120 film, after your 12 shots, you keep winding untill all the negatives rolled into other side. t

So does the number '1' always stay there until the film ends??
