IF NO WHITE TAB APPEARS AFTER PULLING
OUT THE BLACK SAFETY COVER
If there's no white tab in the slot, do the following,
away from bright light:
1.
Unlock the back of the camera, open it part
way and, without disturbing or moving the film
pack, push the white tab (A) out into the open.
2.
Close and lock the back of the camera, ma king
sure that the white tab (A) is outside and behind
the lock (B).
IF NO YELLOW TAB APPEARS WHEN YOU
PULL THE WHITE TAB, STOPl
Don't pull another white tab. Instead, do the fol·
lowing, away from bright light:
1.
Carefully open the camera back without moving
the pack and take hold of the yellow tab that failed
to come out through the slot. Vou can use a pencil
point to make sure the pack doesn't move.
2.
Still being careful not to move the pack, gently
pull the yellow tab ail the way out of the camera
and discard that piece of film. Don't try to save it.
3.
While the back is open, check that the developer
spreader and the yellow tab slot are clean. If
necessary, clean them as shown on page 22.

Close and lock the camera back, ma king sure
that the next white tab (A) is outside and behind
the lock (B), as shown above.

REMEMBER: YOU CAN OPEN A LOADED
CAMERA,
IF YOU DO IT CAREFULLY
If the camera is not in bright light, and if you don't
move the film pack, you can open the ca mera back
to adjust film tabs, or to clean the developer
spreader (page 22). If you move the pack while
the back is open, only one piece of film will be
ruined; the rest will still be good.
