Pentax P3 User Manual

UNLOADING FILM
When you reach the end of the roll, the film wind lever will stop
moving abruptly — maybe at some point in the middle of a stroke.
Do not force the lever beyond the number of exposures shown on
the cartridge.
• Press the film rewind button recessed in the base of the camera.
• Unfold the crank and turn it clockwise all the way until you feel
it loosen when the film leader is released from the take<up spool.
• When the rewinding is over, lift the rewind knob sharply to open
the back cover, and take the cartridge out.
If you accidentally opened the back cover without rewinding
the film, close it immediately, since the film except the last
several frames might be saved.
