LOADING FILM

Remove and discard the protective cover on the film gate before loading film for the first time.

Check the film window before loading film. If film is already loaded, refer to Manual Rewind on page 34 to remove a partially exposed roll.

• Load film in the shade to reduce the chances of fogging the film.

1. Slide the back-cover release and open the back cover.

2. Insert film cartridge into the film chamber.

• Refer to page 159 to reload a partially exposed roll.

3. Extend the leader between the guide rails to the index mark.

• If the film tip extends beyond the index mark, push the excess film back into the cartridge.

4. Close the back cover.

The camera automatically advances the film to the first frame. 1 will appear in the frame counter.

The ISO is shown in the navigation display for 5 seconds after loading.

If loading was unsuccessful, this message appears in the navigation display. Repeat steps 1-4.

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