Loading and Unloading Film
Loading Film
After you load the film, the camera first winds the entire roll onto the
camera’s take-up spool. Then each time a picture is taken, one frame of
film is rewound back into the film cartridge.
Turn the Command Dial to any
setting except <H>.
Slide up the camera back lock-
release lever to open the camera
back.
Insert the film cartridge at an
angle as shown in the figure.

4 Hold down the film cartridge and
pull the edge of the film leader to
the orange mark on the camera.
Then close the camera back.
• Press down the film cartridge so that it is set
securely and the film does not slacken.
• If the edge of the film leader goes beyond
the orange mark, push some of the film
back into the cartridge.
• While the film is prewinding around the take-
up spool, the ISO film speed will be
displayed on the LCD panel.
• While the film is prewinding around the take-
up spool, the frame counter counts up.
When it stops, camera will make a shutter-
release sound and the <@> icon and total
frame count will be displayed.
• If the frame count is not displayed and the
<@> icon is blinking, it means that the film
was not properly loaded. Take out the film
cartridge and load it in the camera again.
