LOADING AND ADVANCING FILM _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ...
Loading film
Before opening the camera back,
confirm that there is no film inside
that could be damaged by light if
the back is opened, by checking
that :
• No red is visible in the Safe Load
Signal (see p. 20).
• Rewind crank can be freely
rotated clockwise many times
without pushing rewind button.
Since the frame counter advances
each time the shutter is cocked
even if no film is inside, the camera
may be empty even when the index
does not point to "S".
Prior ~o loading film, set the film
speed (see previous page) and turn
the main switch on (p . 13).
CAUTIONS

ed in subdued light - at least
shaded from direct sunlight by your
