Film wind and rewind
1
The first portions of the film can¬
not be used for picture taking as
they have already been exposed
to light. Generally, two blank ex¬
posures should be made before
taking your first picture.
Cock
the rapid wind lever until it stops.
Watch to see that the film rewind
knob automatically turns coun¬
ter-clockwise, indicating that the
film is moving from cassette to
take-up spool.
Trip the shutter.
Cock the rapid wind lever for
the first picture; the exposure
counter automatically turns to
indicating that the first pic
ture is ready to be taken.
2
After the final picture on the
roll (20 or 36 exposures) has been
taken, the rapid wind lever will
not turn all the way as you stroke
it.
This indicates that the final
picture has been taken on your
him, and that the film must be
rewound. DON'T open the back
of the camera, or
all
exposed
frames will be ruined.
3 Unfold the film rewind crank.
4
Depress the film rewind release
button.
Turn the rewind crank
to rewind the film into the film
cassette. The film rewind crank
permits rewinding at a smooth,
even rate.
(Under some atmos¬
pheric conditions, erratic or too
rapid rewinding will cause static
electricity marks on the film.)
You will feel the tension on the
rewind crank lessen as the leader
end of the film slips off the take-
up spool.
Stop rewinding when you feel
this happen.
AVOID DIRECT
SUNLIGHT WHEN UNLOAD¬
ING YOUR FILM.
(The rewind
release button will
return
to
normal position as you load your
next film and turn the rapid
wind lever.)
5 Pull out the film rewind knob
(the back will open automati¬
cally), and remove the film cas¬
sette.
