BASIC OPERATION

R Rewinding the Film

The winding lever will stop suddenly before the end

of its stroke when you have reached the end of the

roll of film. Don't try to complete the stroke, as the

film sprocket holes may be torn. To rewind the film,

push in the rewind button located on the bottom of

the camera. Next, fold out the crank from the rewind

knob and turn it in the direction of the small arrow

until you feel the tension in the film lessen. This

indicates that the film has left the multi-slot take-up

spool. Turn the rewind crank one or two more re­

volutions to completely rewind the tip of the film

leader back into the cartridge. Then, pull up the

rewind knob to open the camera back and lift out

the cartridge.

• Avoid direct sunlight when unloading the film.

Keep your exposed cartridges in a cool, dry and

shady place and have them processed as soon as

possible.
• Do not leave the same roll of film in your camera

for months on end, since black and white film may

become fogged, and color film may experience a

definite color-shift.
