To rewind the film, press in the film rewind
button on the bottom of the camera. Once
you have pressed it, you can remove your
finger. Unfold the film rewind crank and
turn it in the direction of the small arrow
imtil the frame counter reaches the “S”
mark. At this point only the film leader will
not be rewound into the cartridge. Stop
rewinding here if the film is only partially
exposed and you want to reload it at some
other time. Also, some developing labs pre
fer the leader to remain protruding, and the
leader may also prevent any stray light from
entering the cartridge.
Otherwise you may
continue to rewind past “S” until you feel
no further pressure on the rewind crank.
Now pull the rewind knob up sharply to
open
the
back
cover
and
remove
the
cartridge. It is preferable to place the ex
posed cartridge back in the canister and to
have it developed as soon as possible.
