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 lead-
ing end into the slit of the take-up spool and wind slightly until
securely engaged.
* Be especially careful regarding the running direction of the film.
When properly loaded, the inside black surface of the leader must
face outward when running across the pressure plate, as illustrated.
E. Rotate the film back winding crank on the right side of the film
holder in the direction indicated by the arrow, 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.

spool as illustrated. Insert the right end of the spool on to the right-
side fixed shaft and, next, close the left-side holder (shaft) which will
engage the spool.
* The spool holders on the left side will be locked securely, when
back cover is closed.
