Loading the Film
3. When the new roll has been inserted,
be sure to reset the lower spool stud by
pressing it in. (Also, be sure to reset the
take-up spool stud in a similar manner.)
4. Pull out the backing paper, and insert

5. Wind the film advance lever until the
small arrow (the starting indicator on
the backing paper) aligns with the film
starting indicator ( ) on the camera
body. Then close the back cover.
6. Wind the film advance lever until it
stops automatically and "1" appears in
the exposure counter window.
• When a 6EX roll film (5 exposures) is
used, the procedure of loading the film is
the same as with 120 roll film.
* Make sure backing paper advances
evenly between the spool flanges and
does not begin to slant. If it advances
unevenly, remove the backing paper
from the take-up spool and start over
again.
* If the film is not properly aligned with
the " " indicator, the film may be
improperly loaded and cause spacing
problems.
* When any other numeral than "S"
appears in the exposure
window, it is an indication that the film is
loaded. So do not open back cover.
* Do not pull excessively on the backing
paper, and do not load/unload the film in
direct sunlight: bright light may fog the
film.
* When photographing with the 135
Panoramic Adapter, see its instructions.
