REWINDING THE FILM

After you have exposed the last frame, the camera will automatically rewind the film silently. When the film is completely rewound, the motor will stop and will blink in the data panel, indicating it is safe to open the back cover.

Wait until rewind is complete.

Slide the back-cover release down to pop open the back cover.

MANUAL REWIND

Use manual rewind to rewind the film before the roll is finished.

Press the rewind button.

• To rewind the film in high-speed, press the rewind button twice.

Customized Function #12 - Film Rewind Speed

The camera is set for slow/silent rewind when shipped. This can be changed to high-speed rewind with the customize function. High-speed rewind setting takes about 8 seconds to rewind a 24- exposure roll of film. See page 102.

Customized Function #2 - Film Rewind Start

Automatic rewind start (the default setting) will rewind the film when it reaches the end of the roll (or exposure 36 in non-DX-coded film). Change the setting to Manual rewind start if desired.
