takes up any slack in the film cartridge. Then
fold back the rewind crank.
*
Do not load the camera in bright sunlight. If no other
shade is available, shade the camera from the sun with
your body while loading. This will reduce any chance
ot spoiling your
t
irst exposures due to fogging.
Make two blank exposures to dispose of the first
few inches of film which were exposed during
loading. When advancing the film , make sure that
the rewind knob rotates in the direction opposite
the arrow. This indicates that the film has been
loaded correctly and is being advanced. The
frame counter should now indicate " 0" exposure.
Advance the film one more frame and you are
ready to take the first picture.
*At the end of a film, the film-winding may stop
half-way between frames. The AW-l may not
function furthermore. In such a case, turn the
AW-l power switch off. Take the film out and
load a new film. Advance the film manually one
frame. The AW-l should then function normally.
