9. Rewinding the Film

Always make sure that the film has completely rewound before removing the film cartridge.

1 Film starts to rewind automatically after the last shot is taken.

o––, o–, and then o is displayed in the top LCD panel and viewfinder while the film is rewinding. The frame counter counts down backwards until the rewind is complete. Also, ”Rewinding . . .“ is displayed in the rear LCD panel.

2 Confirm that E is blinking in the top LCD panel. Then, open the camera back by lifting the film rewind knob and remove the film cartridge.

• Film is completely rewound when the frame counter shows a blinking E in the top LCD panel and viewfinder, and “REWIND COMPLETED” is displayed in the rear LCD panel. (E appears without blinking in the top LCD panel, and viewfinder indication and “REWIND COMPLETED” display in the rear LCD panel disappear when the exposure meter is off.) Make sure the film is completely rewound (E is blinking or “REWIND COMPLETED” is displayed), then open the camera back away from sunlight and remove the film cartridge.
