Loading the film

05. Hold the film cartridge in the right hand and

insert it about half-way into the empty chamber

Note: The cartridge is pushed past the spring-

loaded DX contacts during loading. The principle

of this means that you will feel slight resistance.

06. Take the film leader and pull it until it is in the

take up spool (35) as shown in the schematic

diagram (33) on the inside of the camera

housing, and

07. carefully press the film cartridge and the film

leader into the camera with your fingertips.

Notes:

• The film leader must be trimmed as is the case

with all ready to use films.

• If the film leader is pulled so far out that it pro-

trudes slightly from one of the slits on the op-

posite side of the take up spool; this does no

affect the functioning of the camera. It is only in

frosty conditions that the film must be inserted

exactly as shown in the schematic drawing, i.e.

the film leader may only be taken up by one slit

on the take up spool so that the protruding end

of the film cannot be broken off.

Important!

Correct film transportation should not

be checked with the camera open, as the base pla-

te is designed in such a way that replacing it on the

camera guides the film into the correct position.

Closing the camera

08. Replace the camera back,

09. hook the base plate onto the retaining pin on

the side of the camera (1),

10. return the base plate to its normal position,

ensuring that the camera back is completely

pressed against it so that it is enclosed by the

base plate, and

11. lock using the latch.
