Loading the Film

Your camera accepts any type of standard 35mm film, either 20 or 36 exposure. Many kinds are available - for color prints, color slides, or black-and-white prints. Your dealer can advise you on a film to best suit your needs. See page 11 for information on setting the electric eye for the film you are using in your camera.

1.

To load film, unlock the Camera Back by pulling the Rewind Knob all the way out and open the back completely. IMPORTANT: You will notice an inside gray cover that opens with the back. DO NOT touch or move this inside cover - it will close when the back is closed to hold the film in place for loading.

2.

Place the film cartridge in the left-hand recess as shown. The film leader should lie flat across the inside back of the camera. Push in the Rewind Knob, turning if necessary to engage the rewind shaft fork with the cartridge spool. Holding the cartridge in place, unfold the crank and turn the Rewind Knob clockwise to take up the slack in the film. Rewind (or pull the film out) until the tip of the leader is at the Film Loading Mark (red).
