BASIC OPERATION

The Canon EF has an Automatic Blank Shot

Mechanism which frees the photographer from using

the shutter button during film loading. The winding

lever works independently of the shutter button
until frame number one is reached.

Avoid direct sunlight when loading or unloading

the film. If no other shade is available, then turn
your back on the sun and use the shadow of your

body to shield the camera while loading.

• Commercially available cartridges come in 12, 20
and 36 exposure rolls. One way to save money on

the cost of film is to bulk load your own cassettes.

Bulk film in 50 or 100-foot rolls, a bulk film loader

and some reloadable cassettes are all you need. A

darkroom is not necessary. For more information,

contact your local camera dealer.
