is displayed, do not open the back cover. Check the film window and frame
counter to verify the type of film in the camera and the number of frames
remaining. (See p. 18 for instructions on rewinding an unfinished roll of film.)
• Always load film in subdued light
or shade,
• Before you load film for the first
time, carefully remove and discard
the protective plastic cover over the
shutter.
