Loading the camera
Turn the lock on the camera baseplate to the "open" position as shown by the arrow Slide
the one-piece baseplate and camera back downward and off.
Drop a film cartridge or loaded cassette into
the film chamber so that the notched end of
the rewind knob engages the cassette or
cartridge. Insert the end of the film leader
into any of the four slots in the take-up
spool.
Unloading
Set the A-R ring around the shutter release button to "A" (Advance) and wind the film so
that it passes under the take-up spool with its emulsion side facing out. Make sure that
the perforations on the film mesh with the sprockets.
Replace the camera back and lock it by turning the lock to the "close" position. Fold out
the rewind crank and turn the rewind knob gently in the direction of the arrow to take up
any slack in the cartridge.
Stroke the film-advance lever to cock the shutter and make two blank exposures (or until
the frame counter on the film-advance fever rests at 1) These blank exposures will
dispose of the portion of film exposed during loading.
Make sure that the rewind
knob rotates in the direction
opposite the arrow when the
film is advanced. This
indicates that the film has been
loaded correctly and is being
advanced.
Set the A-R ring to "R"
(Rewind), unfold the rewind
crank and turn it with a
constant, gentle pressure in the direction of the arrow. Avoid uneven or excessively fast
rewinding. The red dot on the shutter release button rotates while the film is being
rewound and stops when the end of the film has been wound off the sprockets. Then the
camera back may be opened.
Caution: Never load the camera in direct sunlight as this may result in accidental fogging of the flm. To avoid
possible scratching the film guide rails by the pressure plate when replacing the camera back without a roll of
