1. With the case off, pull up on the
back-cover release knob until the
camera back springs open. Gently
blow away any dust or other parti-
cles inside with a blower brush.
NOTE
• When loading film in a dark place
or with the lens cap on, loading will
be easier if the mode selector is not
set at "P" or "A".

2. Leaving the knob pulled out,
position a 35mm film cartridge as
shown with the projecting spool
down. Then push the knob all the
way in, rotating it slightly if neces-
sary.
NOTE
• If the film-advance lever stops at
the end of a full stroke during the
following steps, release the shutter
and continue (main switch must be
on).
3. Pull out enough film leader to
just reach the take-up spool, then
insert the end into a slot on the left
(as shown above), making sure it
does not protrude from another
slot. A hole in the film should be
lined up with the tooth on the
take-up spool, and the sprocket
teeth should be engaged with holes
at the bottom of the film.
