PREPARATION FOR USE-continued
Prior to Shooting
Fold
out the film
rewind
crank, and turn it gently
in the
direction
of the engraved arrow
until
you feel a sl
ight
resistance; this
will indicate that
any slack
in
the
film
cartridge
has been taken up. Then,
fold the rewind crank
into
place.
Advance
the
film (refer to page 12
for fil
m
advance
oper-
ation), and
make
two
blank exposures; this will dispose
of
the initial portion
of
the film
exposed
during loading.
As
you advance the
film, confirm
that the
rewind
crank
turns in the
direction opposite
the arrow.
This indicates
that the film
has been loaded properly
and
is being
advanced
.
After
advancing the film
two frames,
check
that
the
frame counter
is
at "0"; then, advance
the
film one more
frame to
prepare
the camera for
taking
the first
picture.
Note: Setting
the
shutter-speed dial to a manual position
(rather
than "AUTO") will speed
up film loading by preventing
the
camera from selecting a slow speed, as
might be the
case when
the lens
cap
is in
place.
However, be
sure to
reset
the dial to
"AUTO"
if
automatic
operation
is
desired.
