Film loading Avoid direct sunlight when loading your film. 1. Open the back by pulling out the rewind knob until back cover snaps open. 2. Place the film cassette into the cassette chamber, and push back the rewind knob. Draw out the film leader and insert it into slot of the take-up spool. 3. Advance the film by alternately turning the rapid wind lever and releasing the shutter until both sprockets have properly engaged the film perforations. Close the back by pressing it firmly. 4. If the film is properly loaded, the rewind knob will turn counter-clockwise when you advance the film by turning the rapid wind lever. Film type reminder dial Use the film type dial to show what type of film 100051 is in your camera. When you have pulled out the rewind knob to open the back when loading the film, turn the dial selector so that the type of film appears in the win- dow. To check whether the camera is loaded, turn the film rewind knob clockwise. If it turns freely, the camera is not loaded. Setting ASA film speed The ASA film co speed rating of all 35mm films is given in the data sheet packed with each roll of film. The higher the o ASA number, the more sensitive the film. Lift the out- er ring of the shutter speed dial and rotate it until the ASA number of your film is opposite the red index mark. Be sure to set your film speed on the shutter speed dial because the dial is connected to the exposure meter system. 9
