Minolta Dynax 7xi Instruction Manual page 18

1. Open the back cover by sliding the back-cover release downward.
2. Place the film cartridge into the film chamber as shown above and extend
the leader between the guide rails until the tip is just past the film-leader
index. Make sure the holes in the film's lower edge are engaged by the
sprocket teeth.
• Make sure the film leader is shaped correctly, otherwise the film may
not wind properly. Trim a torn or crimped film tip so that it looks like the
correct one pictured above left.
• If the film extends too far, gently push the excess back into the cartridge.
• NEVER TOUCH THE SHUTTER CURTAIN WITH YOUR FINGERS OR
WITH THE FILM TIP. Its precision design makes it extremely sensitive to
pressure.
