Rewinding the Film
The winding lever will stop suddenly before the end
of its stroke when you have reached the end of the
roll of film. Don't try to complete the stroke, as the
film sprocket holes may be torn. To rewind the film,
push in the rewind button located on the bottom of
the camera. Next, fold out the crank from the rewind
knob and turn it in the direction of the small arrow
until you feel the tension in the film lessen. This
indicates that the film has left the multi-slot take-up
spool. Turn the rewind crank one or two more re-
volutions to completely rewind the tip of the film
leader back into the cartridge. Then, pull up the
rewind knob to open the camera back and lift out
the cartridge.
•
Avoid direct sunlight when unloading the film.
•
Keep your exposed cartridges in a cool, dry and
shady place and have them processed as soon as
possible.
•
Do not leave the same roll of film in your camera
for months on end, since black and white film may
become fogged, and color film may experience a
definite color-shift.
