LOADING FILM

Your camera uses IX240 type film designed for use in Advanced Photo System cameras.

Your camera has an automatic transport system which loads the film, sets the film speed, and advances the film after each exposure.

Once loaded, the Film Chamber Lock feature prevents the film chamber from being opened until the film is rewound into the cassette.

There is no need to worry about double exposure. The DEP (Double Exposure Prevention) feature prevents the camera from accepting exposed film.
