PREPARATION FOR USE—continued
Prior to Shooting
Fold out the film rewind crank, and turn it gently in the
direction of the engraved arrow until you feel a slight
resistance; this will indicate that any slack in the film
cartridge has been taken up. Then, fold the rewind crank
into place.
Advance the film (refer to page 12 for film advance oper
ation), and make two blank exposures; this will dispose
of the initial portion of the film exposed during loading.
As you advance the film, confirm that the rewind crank
turns in the direction opposite the arrow. This indicates
that the film has been loaded properly and is being
advanced.
5»vV:
After advancing the film two frames, check that the
frame counter is at “0”; then, advance the film one more
frame to prepare the camera for taking the first picture.
Note: Setting the shutter-speed dial to a manual position (rather
than “AUTO”) will speed up film loading by preventing the
camera from selecting a slow speed, as might be the case when
the lens cap is in place. However, be sure to reset the dial to
“AUTO” if automatic operation is desired.
