PREPARATION FOR USE—continued
Prior to Shooting
Fold out the rewind crank and turn it gently in the di
rection of the engraved arrow until you feel a slight ten
sion; this tension indicates that there is no more slack in
the film cartridge. (Be sure not to rewind the film back
into the cartridge.)
Advance the film and make two blank exposures to dis
pose of the initial portion of the film exposed during
loading (for film advance operation, see page 11). While
advancing the film, check that the rewind crank turns in
the direction opposite the arrow. Crank rotation indica
tes that the film has been loaded properly and is being
advanced. Then, fold the crank flat for storage.
After advancing the film two frames to dispose of the
initial portion of the leader, the frame counter at the
upper right of the camera will indicate “0”; now, ad
vance the film one more frame to prepare the camera for
taking the first exposure.
