D Loading the Film
The Canon EF uses color or black and white film in
standard 35mm cartridges. To load a cartridge into
the camera, first open the camera's back cover. Fold
out the rewind crank, grasp it and pull the rewind
knob up sharply. The back cover will pop open. Put
the cartridge into the film cartridge chamber, push
down and rotate the rewind knob until it drops into
its fully-seated position. Pull the film leader across
the camera and push the tip into one slot of the
multi-slot take-up spool. Advance the film once,
making certain the sprocket holes of the film are
engaged in the teeth of the film transport sprocket.
Close the back cover until it snaps shut. Gently turn
the rewind crank clockwise to take up the slack in
the film and then fold the rewind crank back in.
Operate the winding lever two more times while
watching the rewind knob. If it rotates, the film is
loaded properly. If the knob fails to rotate, then open
the back cover and reload the film.
