5. Film Loading (con't)
E. Rotate the manual film winder on the right side of the film holder
in the arrow-indicated direction, while checking the advancing film.
When the starting point, or arrow-mark, is aligned with the triangular
start-mark on the top left side of the film holder, stop rotation.
F. The starting point, or arrow mark, can also be aligned with the
start-mark, with the film holder loaded in the film back. Simply rotate
the film-winding crank on the camera main body, in this case. This
method is preferred since there will be coupling with the camera
main body mechanism, from the beginning.
* If the film is not advanced when the film-winding crank is rotated,
the film holder is not inserted properly and/or the camera main body
may be set for multiple exposures. In the latter case, return the multi-
ple exposure lever to an upright or vertical position.
G. Close the back cover, by pressing it firmly against the base of the
film back, as illustrated. The back cover will automatically close and
lock, with the safety lock also locking the back cover release button.
The same operation will close the back cover when the film back is
detached from the main body.
H. Upon loading the film, rotate the film-winding crank until it stops
to place the first frame into place for taking the picture. The exposure
counter will also change from "S" to "1", while the shutter will also be
cocked.
I. When the film back is detached from the main body for film load-
ing, the manual film winder is used for advancing the film. The film
will stop when it is in place for the first exposure, with the exposure
counter also changing to "1". However, it will be possible to rotate
the manual film winder, and, therefore, it should be rotated 2 or 3
times more, in order to take up any slack in the loaded film.
