Loading Film

After you load the film, the camera first winds the entire roll onto the camera’s take-up spool. With DX-coded film, the camera automatically sets the film’s ISO speed. Then each time a picture is taken, one frame of film is rewound back into the film cartridge. The frame counter shows always number of shots remaining.
