Loading Film
Always load film in subdued light to prevent fogging.
Open the package. Handle the film bag carefully and only hold it by its
edges. Tear the bag along the dotted line and remove the pack.
Discard the moisture-absorbing card packed with some film packs.
Unlock and open the holder’s back. Push up both ends of the back Door
Latch and open the back all the way. Be sure the dark slide is pushed all
the way into the holder before loading film.
Insert the pack into the holder. Hold the film pack by the edges and
push the closed end of the pack under the light shield, and then
down into the holder.
Make sure the white tabs are not caught between the pack and
the holder.
Close and lock the back by holding the back closed and push
down on the center of the latch. The black tab of the safety cover must
stick out in front of the latch.
Remove the safety cover by grasping the black tab, which is the end of
the safety cover. Pull the safety cover all the way out of the holder by
pulling straight and being careful not to tear it. When the safety cover
is removed, a white tab should stick out of the small slot next to the
latch.
Developing Film
Grip the holder with one hand and grab the small white tab with the
thumb and forefinger of the other hand, and then pull t h e tab straight
out all the way without stopping. When you pull the white, a yellow tab
comes out of the door holder.
Don't block this door.
Grip the yellow tab at the center and pull it straight out all the way
with moderate speed without hesitating. This starts th e development of
the picture, so start timing now. Develop the picture tor the full time
given in the film’s instruction sheet. Don't touch or bend the white
part o f t h e film as this is where the picture is developing.
Separate the print. After the full development time, rapidly strip the print
off the negative starting at the end of the yellow tab. Never allow the print
to drop back down on the wet negative, and don’t touch the surface of the
wet print.
Avoid contact with any of the film’s chemicals.
