Film wind and rewind
o
t
1 Before turning the rapid wind
lever, slowly turn the film rewind
knob clockwise until a slight re-
sistance is felt . This prevents
loosening or warping of the film.
2 The first portions ofthe film can-
not be used for picture taking as
they have already been exposed
to light. Generally, two blank
exposures should be made before
taking your first picture. Cock
the rapid wind lever until it stops.
Watch to see that the film rewind
knob automatically turns counter-
clockwise, indicating that the film
is
moving from cassette to take-
up spool. Trip the shutter . Cock
the rapid wind lever for the first
picture; the exposure counter
automatically turns to '1', indi-
cating that the first picture is
ready to be taken .
. 3 After the final picture on the roll
(20 or 36 exposures) has been
taken, the rapid wind lever will
not turn all the way as you stroke
it. This indicates that the final
picture has been taken on your
film, and that the film must be
rewound. DON'T open the back
of the camera, or all exposed
frames will be ruined .
4 Unfold the film rewind crank.
S Depress the film rewind release
button. Turn the rewind crank to
rewind the film into the film cas-
sette. The film rewind crank per-
mits rewinding at a smooth, even
rate. (Under some atmospheric
conditions, erratic or too rapid re-
winding will cause static electric-
ity marks on the film.) You will
feel
the tension on the rewind
crank lessen as the leader end of
the film slips off the take-up spool.
Stop rewinding when you feel
this happen. A VOID DIRECT
