LOADING FILM

Always load or remove the film under subdued light to reduce the chances of fogging. The camera automatically sets the correct film speed (ISO) with DX-coded film. If non-DX-coded film is used, the camera sets the film speed to ISO25. See page 51 to set the film speed manually.

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

Never touch the shutter curtain with your fingers or the film leader. The curtain’s precision design is extremely sensitive to pressure.

Insert the film cartridge into the film chamber. Extend the leader between the guide rails to the film-tip index mark (1). If the film tip extends beyond the index mark, take the cartridge out and rewind the excess film back into the cartridge.

Hold the film cartridge down so that the film lays flat.
