First, open the camera back by sliding its safety lock
to the rear and lifting the film rewind knob as far as it will
go. Position the film cartridge or cassette in the film cham-
ber, which is located on the left-hand side, with the film leader
aligned along the film guide rails; then, push the rewind knob
to hold the cartridge in place. Pull the film leader out suffi-
ciently for feeding into the film take-up spool, and insert its
end into any of the spool’s slots. Rotate the take-up spool as
shown in the illustration so that the film passes under the
spool with its emulsion
side (dull side) facing out. Make sure that the perforations
along the edges of the film mesh with the sprockets. If neces-
sary, release the shutter by cocking the shutter release button,
and stroke the film advance lever slowly to make sure that the
leader winds smoothly on the spool and that the film edge
perforations engage the film sprocket roller. When you are
certain that the film is being fed properly onto the spool and
traveling correctly along the film guide rails, close the cam-
era back by pressing it until it snaps into place.
