I apologize, i should have made note that on this particular model, it is hard to find. you can still get at it though, without any further disassembly. a magnifying glass and strong light or flashlight will help. On this model the gears are finer and harder to see. it is obscured, so you will only see a small portion of it. you will need an ice pick or pin to adjust it.

1-facing the camera, you will be looking to the right of the photocell eye, (light/dark adjuster). the gear is directly behind, at the same height, off to the right.

2-rotate the camera to the left, so you are peeking in at an angle, between the case and the camera components, just under the viewfinder.

3- it sits back approximately 1/4" to 3/8" and the same distance down from the viewfinder. (the viewfinder does slide out for a better view, just make note of the viewfinders orientation, as it fits in one way only).

3-if all else fails and you can't see it, take your pointy tool and probe in that area, you will be able to determine what is stationary and what moves. once located, move it counter clockwise, or upward, until it stops. (when probeing, use upward movements, so as not to accidently move it down and out of reach).

4-done.

let me know how you make out and don't hesitate if you need any more help. good luck, joe
