Loading the
film
Always load (and unload) the film in subdued
light-
the shade
of
your
body
if
necessary - and never in
sunlight.
Keep opening, releasing and closing the camera
until the exposure counter arrives at the
load set-
ting.
The
load setting for 15-exposure
films
is the red
mark at No. 17
(illustration far left).
The load setting for 36-exposure
films
is the red
dot
between 0 and 36 (left).
Depress the back cover snap
lock
in the camera
base and
fully
pull
out
the sliding cover (bottom
left). The film compartments are
now
accessible.
Drop the Minox cartridge into the camera, push
down and
slide the cover over
it
, then close the co-
ver
to
engage.
Open the camera, release and close the camera
twice in succession.
This moves the exposure counter
to
its
start posi-
tion: No. 36
for
36-exposure
films
and No. 15 (at the
beginning
of
the black-and-white scale) for 15-ex-
posure
films
.
Remember also
to
setthe
ASA speed
of
your
film
on
the
film speed dial (page
9).
