Nikon Elw instruction manual Winding the film

Winding the film

When advancing the film manually, keep the film- advance lever pulled out at a 30° clearance angle so that the red dot is visible while pictures are being taken. This turns the exposure meter on.

The shutter button lock shou ld be set at its locked position . (Where the red dot cannot be seen.) Apply the right thumb to the film advance lever and swing it clockwise to the right until it stops. This advances the film one frame and cocks the shutter. Always swing the lever . with one stroke, otherwise it may spring back to its original posi- tion without fully advancing the film.

*When the roll of film has been exposed and the film-advance lever resists, do not attempt to force the advance lever. It will tear the film out of the magazine.

When the film is being advanced automa tically by the AW-l turn the shutter button lock to the k:ft (counterclockwise) until it comes to a stop so the red dot is visible. This turns the exposure meter on.

In this case, set the film-advance lever at its locked position, flush against the camera body.

After that, the film is automatically advanced by one frame every time the shutter is released.
