UNLOADING FILM
As soon as the frame counter indicates that the last exposure
has been made, or when the film advance lever can no longer
be stroked, the roll of film has been fully exposed and can
now be removed.
To unload the roll of film, first press the rewind button on
the camera’s baseplate; then, unfold the film rewind crank
and turn it in the direction of the engraved arrow with smooth,
even pressure. Rewind tension will cease to indicate that the
film leader has left the take-up spool. Now, open the camera
back by sliding its safety lock and pulling up the rewind knob
as far as it will go; then, remove the film cartridge. Note that
when the film advance lever is stroked for the next exposure
(with the next roll of film), the rewind button will be released
to engage the filmadvance mechanism once again.
You should not push the rewind button during film advance
operation; otherwise, film advance will temporarily stop and
frame-overlap may result. Note, too, that the camera back can
be removed from the body by depressing the locking catch on
the hinge.
