REWINDING AND REMOVING THE FILM
38
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 to R.
2. Pull out the rewind button (max. 11mm) and
3. Turn it clockwise (arrow) until the film has been wound off the
take-up spool, after passing a slight resistance.
4. Open the bottom cover.
5. Open the rear panel.
6. Remove the film cartridge.
If a film is not correctly attached to the cartridge spool, e.g. when
using film sold by length, it can happen that the end of the film will
be torn off and will have to be removed from the take-up spool.
To do this:
1. Remove the camera's bottom cover in a completely dark room.
2. Hold the camera so that the open bottom cover is facing
downwards.
3. Operate the quick wind lever slowly several times, until the film
comes out of the camera by itself so that you can take hold of
it and remove it. If necessary, lightly tap the camera on your
hand to assist you.
