4. Construction of Film Back (con't)

5. Film Loading

B. The film back frame, on the other hand, consists of a base with a
dark slide slit and a back cover with a film type indicator frame. The
film back frame completely encloses the film holder and shields it
from outside light, as well as connecting it to the camera main body.
A. To open the back cover, squeeze the left and right back cover
release buttons, in the arrow-indicated directions, at the same time
and the back cover will open.
B. Then, the film holder can be detached.
C. There are two spool holders on the film holder. The top one is for
the fresh film spool while the bottom one is for the empty take-up
spool. The left-side shafts of both spool holders can be opened out-
ward, as illustrated. Therefore, insert the right end on the spool on to
the right-side shaft, which is fixed, and then close the left-side holder
(shaft), which will engage the spool.
* The spool holders on the left side will be locked securely, when the
back cover is closed.
D. After loading the fresh film spool properly, draw out the leading
end of the film and turn it across the film pressure plate (as illustrat-
ed). Run it down and turn it over to the take-up spool. Insert the
leading end into the slit of the take-up spool and wind slightly until
securely engaged.
* The inside black surface of the leader must face out when running
across the pressure plate, in this case.
