Make a manual ISO setting before using an un-coded
cassette, otherwise the camera will not prewind the film.

If you make the manual ISO setting with the film tip extracted
to its automatic loading position, the camera will prewind the
film only after opening and closing the camera back.
If you make a manual ISO setting do not forget to make the
appropriate changes afterwards for the next film.

In subdued lighting, lift the camera back release catch as
in the illustration and push upwards. The camera back
will now be released.
Be careful not touch the shutter or format blinds with your
fingers or let a film cassette drop onto them!
With the shooting mode selector set at OFF, insert a
35 mm film cassette into the film compartment as in
the illustration. Note which way round the cassette
is inserted. Tilt the 'top' of the cassette a little at first
so that the cassette is seated securely in the compart-
ment. Pull out just enough - but no more-film leader to
align the tongue of the film against the green 'film tip'
index line so that it rests on the take-up spool. Ensure
the film is laying down flat against the shutter housing
and the cassette opening is pulled down accordingly.
If the film bows upwards it may pull the film tip back
and away from the index position. Carefully close the
camera back. Press the left part of the back towards the
main camera body until you hear a click to ensure it
is locked. The film is automatically withdrawn com-
pletely from the cassette, set at the first frame and the
camera power turned off.
The winding of the film back into the cassette after the
last exposure can be programmed to either wind the
film fully into the cassette or leave a film tip out of the
cassette. Make your choice by switching the camera
from OFF to S while holding down the MODE button on
the camLCD. A cassette symbol accompanied with the
text out or in will be shown. Select with the ▲ / ▼ but-
tons which type you prefer. Confirm by pushing the
release button halfway. A cassette symbol illustrating
your choice will now shown on the display.
If a non-DX film has been loaded while the ISO programming
was set at 'Auto' (DX) then it will not be wound forward and
the camera will not operate. Make a manual film speed
programming and load the film again.
