Q: What is ASA?
A: ASA is a number which indicates the relative sensitivity of your film to light. Your camera must

A: As a reminder, insert the film carton tab which indicates the ASA rating, into the camera back's
memo holder 41.

Q: How can I be sure the film has been properly
loaded and is being advanced?
A: If, as you advance the film winder lever, the film
rewind knob rotates in the opposite direction of the
arrow engraved on it, you can be sure the film is
being properly advanced.
