cartridge is downward. Do this in a place away from direct sunlight.
3. Fold out and lift up the film rewind crank(10). Then rotate the crank carefully while
push in it down lightly until the film locks on the film rewind fork(20).
4. return the film rewind knob to its original position.

advance lever (4) to advance the film.

crank when it becomes stiff, and return the crank to its original position.
8.Gently close the back cover and push it until it clicks.
9. Advance the film a couple of frames, pressing the shutter release button each time,
until the frame counter indicates "1" between 0 and 2. (1n this case, the film advance
