• 12 • Wind the film by alternately advancing the rapid wind lever and firing the shutter release button until both top and bottom sprockets engage the film perforations. • When you are sure the film is engaged properly, close the back cover and wind the film rewind crank in the direction of the arrow to take up any slack. • Continue advancing the film until the exposure counter registers "1." You can be sure the film is moving properly through the camera by checking to see that the film rewind crank rotates as you wind the film. When the film is advanced properly and the camera is ready to take the picture, the shutter cocked indicator will turn red; this also serves as a warning against accidental shutter release. Reset the shutter dial to "Auto."
