Make a manual ISO setting before using an un-coded cassette, otherwise the camera will not prewind the film.

If you make the manual ISO setting with the film tip extracted to its automatic loading position, the camera will prewind the film only after opening and closing the camera back.

If you make a manual ISO setting do not forget to make the appropriate changes afterwards for the next film.

In subdued lighting, lift the camera back release catch as in the illustration and push upwards. The camera back will now be released.

Be careful not touch the shutter or format blinds with your fingers or let a film cassette drop onto them!

With the shooting mode selector set at OFF, insert a 35 mm film cassette into the film compartment as in the illustration. Note which way round the cassette is inserted. Tilt the 'top' of the cassette a little at first so that the cassette is seated securely in the compart- ment. Pull out just enough - but no more-film leader to align the tongue of the film against the green 'film tip' index line so that it rests on the take-up spool. Ensure the film is laying down flat against the shutter housing

and the cassette opening is pulled down accordingly. If the film bows upwards it may pull the film tip back and away from the index position. Carefully close the camera back. Press the left part of the back towards the main camera body until you hear a click to ensure it is locked. The film is automatically withdrawn completely from the cassette, set at the first frame and the camera power turned off.

The winding of the film back into the cassette after the last exposure can be programmed to either wind the film fully into the cassette or leave a film tip out of the cassette. Make your choice by switching the camera from OFF to S while holding down the MODE button on the camLCD. A cassette symbol accompanied with the text out or in will be shown. Select with the ▲ / ▼ buttons which type you prefer. Confirm by pushing the release button halfway. A cassette symbol illustrating your choice will now shown on the display.
