# Always load film out of direct sunlight.
Never touch the shutter curtain. Its
precision design makes it sensitive to
pressure. When loading film, be care-
ful that the film tip does not touch the
14
shutter curtain.
This camera uses a prewind system. When
film is loaded, the camera first winds all of
the film onto the take-up spool and then re-
winds it back into the film cartridge one
frame at a time as each picture is taken
The frame counter on the LCD panel
decreases as pictures are taken, allowing
you to always see at a glance the remain-
ing frames.
For DX-coded film, the camera automati-
cally sets the film speed when the film is
loaded. (For manual film speed setting, see
p. 46.)
1) Make sure the command dial is not at L.
2) Open the back cover by sliding the latch
down.
3) Insert the film as shown with the flat end
of the cartridge on top.
4) Carefully pull the film tip across until it
reaches the orange mark.
5) Make sure the film lies flat and close the
back cover.
Film winding starts and the frame counter
counts up. When
the film is completely
wound,
the shutter
is released
once;
however, no picture is taken. The film car-
tridge symbol and the number of available
frames are displayed in the LCD panel
e If the film cartridge symbol blinks, the
film has not been loaded properly and
the shutter will not release. Reload the
film.
Film becomes soft and tears easily in
high humidity. Keep it stored
in its
canister until loading.
