Winding To The 1St Frame; Rewinding And Removing The Film - Leica MP Instructions Manual

Winding to the 1st frame

12. Wind the film forward one frame using the
quick wind lever (9) and release the shutter.
13. Then tense the film by carefully turning the
pull-out rewind button (15) in the direction of
the arrow. The film is properly wound if the
rewind button turns in the opposite direction
to the arrow when the quick wind lever is
operated again.
14. Finally, release the shutter again and cock
the shutter a third time. The exposure count-
er (6) indicates 1 and, once the film speed
has been checked or set (see the
corresponding sections starting on p. 69 for
details), the camera is ready to use.

Rewinding and removing the film

If the film has been exposed up to the last frame,
the quick wind lever can no longer be operated.
Before removing the film, it must be rewound
into the film cartridge.
To do this:
1. Move the rewind release lever (5) to R.
2. Pull out the rewind button (max. 11 mm) and
3. turn it clockwise (in the direction of the arrow)
until the film has been pulled off of the
take-up spool, after having felt and overcome
slight resistance.
