Canon 7 How To Use Manual page 7

• The lever will return automatically when released. It will not
return to the original position, i. e. close to the body. It will be
about 1/4"—1/2" from the body. But you can advance the film
from this position. When the camera is not in use return the
lever to its original position against the body.
• Several short strokes, instead of one full stroke, can be used
to wind the film. The lever locks when winding is complete.
• When the film is loaded, sometimes winding is not completed
in one full stroke for the first film wind. If such is the case, the shutter locks and cannot be depressed. To
obviate this situation, it is advisable to wind the lever twice for the first film wind.
