Nikon 1799 Rewinding film using the film rewind crank, Film rewind R1 button, Frame counter

•Rewinding film using the film rewind crank

1 Turn the power switch on, open the R1 button cover and press the R1 „ button.

2 Lift the film rewind crank and turn in the direction of the arrow.

• Turn the film rewind crank a few times more after the tension is gone.

• 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.) Open the camera back and remove the film cartridge.

Cautions on manual rewind

•Do not press the shutter release button until the film leader is rewound completely back into the cartridge. Doing so could damage the shutter curtain.

Film rewind R1 button

•If you accidentally press the R1 button during shooting, press the shutter release button. This returns the R1 button to its original position. (The shutter will not open and film is advanced one frame without advancing the frame counter.)

Frame counter

•The frame counter counts backward when film is rewound manually but the display may not indicate the correct frame number.
