Loading the film
Automatic film loading is possible with the camera switched both
on and off.
Warning:
• Before opening the back cover, please ensure that the film has
been completely wound back into the cartridge. Otherwise,
the light will damage the part of the film already exposed and
with it many of the shots already taken. The camera should on-
ly be opened when the
0
is flashing in the frame counter. In
the film cartridge viewing window (16), you can see whether a
cartridge is loaded and the counter shows whether or not it is
rewound. (see “Automatic rewind of fully exposed film”, and
“Rewinding a partially exposed film”, p. 111).
• To prevent the incidence of light, films should be loaded and
unloaded in subdued light wherever possible e.g. in one’s own
shadow.
• When loading the film, avoid touching the rear lens element
with your fingers or the edge of the film.
