Minolta X-7A - Preshotting Check

LOADING FILM
Before opening the camera back,
make sure there is
no film inside
the camera by checking the Safe
Load Signal (p. 15).
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 "AUTO".
1. Unfold the rewind crank and
pull up on it to lift the back-cover
release
knob . Pull up on the knob
until the camera back springs open .
2. Leaving
the knob pulled out,
position a 35mm film cartridge in
the chamber with its projecting
spool down . Then push the back-
cover release
knob all the way in,
rotating it slightly if necessary .
•
Always handle and load film in subdued light - at least shaded
from direct light by your body.
• Do not touch any parts or areas
inside
the camera shown in blue .
