6. Attach the film's leader to the empty
spool.
As shown in the illustration, gently insert
the tip of the leader into the groove of the
empty spool on the "SPL" side, and then
turn the spool one or two turns to wrap the
leader around the spool.
It is not necessary to adjust the position of
the film's starting edge as the film will be
correctly positioned automatically.
7. Turn the spool tightly so that the film
does not sag.
8. Insert the loaded Film Insert into the
magazine.
While squeezing the center latches together,
place the Film Insert, with the feed spool on
top, in the magazine. With pressure on the left
and right blocks (H), push it into position until
you hear a click.
9. Close the Back Cover.
Firmly push the top of the Back Cover
to close it.
10. After attaching the magazine to the camera
body, remove the dark slide, and then push the
Shutter Release Button down halfway
; the film
will automatically advance to the first frame.
Store the dark slide in the magazine's rear
storage pocket.
