PREPARE THE TAKE UP SPOOL
1. This camera accepts 135 film only. Before you can use the camera,
you will need to prepare an empty "take-up" film canister. You
may request your local lab to keep a film canister for you, having
them procesed the 135 film in
the following way:
a) First, tell them to removed the
film without removing either
end of the canister.
b) Second, have them removed
all but the last 1"-2" of film.
c) Have them saved this nearly
empty canister for you. This
canister with the 1"-2" leader
of film will become your "take-up" film spool, and will allow
you to draw the film from a new roll of film into the "take-up"
canister. Follow the directions below to continue.
Note: If you don't have a roll of previously-exposed film, you could
choose to sacrifice a fresh roll of film to prepare the take-up
canister yourself!
2. Now you need to join the fresh film with the take-up canister. First
trim off film's leader. The "leader" is the tapered end of the roll of
film.
3. With the fresh film on your right, and the take-up film canister on
your left, join the film with masking tape (adhesive tape) as shown
in the figure on next page. Apply the tape to both sides of the film
and make sure your tape is strong enough to hold the film together.

2. Press the fresh film and the pick-up film canister into the
pocket of the camera until they are sited properly and firmly.
3. Replace the Top Cover (B) and turn the Film Advance Knob
counter-clockwise (D) several revolutions until the masking
tape has disappeared entirely within the take-up canister.
4. Replace the Back Cover (H) of the camera
5. Replace the Top Cover (B) and lock it to the camera by
turning the Top Cover Lock (C) clockwise. Don't over-tighten
it or you may damage your camera.
