Film Loading

Canon's Exclusive Quick-Loading (QL) mechanism in the Canonet G-III 17 accepts any standard 35mm film roll in cartridge. When loading new film, always avoid direct sun- light.

To release the latch of the back cover, raise the film rewind crank, and pull it all the way up.

Open the cover fully. When the back cover is opened, the QL cover opens simultaneously. Face the film cartridge as illustrated in the line drawing inside the back cover, and insert it into the cartridge compartment. Push the crank back to its normal position.
