PREPARATION FOR USE-continued

Loading the Film

Slide the camera back latch release at the side of the rewind knob to the rear and, while holding the release back, lift the rewind knob up until the camera back pops open. Then, with the rewind knob in the up posi- tion, drop a standard film cartridge (a Nikon reloadable- type cassette cannot be used) into the left-hand film chamber with the film leader aligned along the film guide rails.

After positioning the cartridge and film leader properly, push the rewind knob down to hold the cartridge in place and, then, insert the end of the film leader into

any of the slots in the film take-up spool. If necessary, release the shutter and, then, stroke the film-advance lever slowly to make sure that the leader winds smooth- ly on the spool and that the film edge perforations engage with the film sprocket roller. When satisfied that the film is properly feeding and is traveling correct- ly along the film guide rails, snap the camera back shut to seal the film chamber. (Also, see "Tips on Camera Care" on page 40.)

Caution: When loading film, be sure to shade the camera from direct exposure to sunlight to prevent inadvertent "fogging" of the film.
