Pentax P3 User Manual

• As illustrated, pull the film leader out so that
its end aligns with the 0 film leader end mark
(red bar); in other words, bring the film leader
end within the length of the bar.
• Make sure that the perforations on the bottom
side of the film have engaged the O sprocket
teeth as well as the O spool teeth.
• Also make sure that the film is properly placed
between the two 0 guide rails,
• Take up any slack left in the film so that the
film is flat as shown, by rewinding it slightly into
the cartridge.
• When a film with a higher ISO number is
loaded, do not leave the camera out of the case
for a long lime.
