Remove and discard the protective cover in the
film gate before loading film for the first time.
Check the film window before loading film. If a
film cartridge is loaded, do not open the back cover. See page 24
for instructions on rewinding a partially exposed roll of film.
Slide the back-cover release
down to pop open the back
cover.
Place the film cartridge in the
film chamber as shown.
Extend the leader between the
guide rails to the film-leader
index.
• If the film tip extends beyond the
red mark, gently push the excess
film back in the cartridge.
Close the back cover and
slide the main switch to ON.
• The camera will automatically
advance the film to the first frame
and 1 will appear in the frame
counter in the data panel.
• If DX-coded film is used, the
camera will automatically set the
correct film speed and display it in
the data panel for 5 seconds after
loading.
•
will blink in the frame counter and the shutter will
remain locked if the film is loaded incorrectly. Open
the back cover and repeat steps 2 through 4.
• Never touch the shutter curtain with your fingers or
with the film tip. Its precision design makes it
extremely sensitive to pressure.
• Always load film in subdued or shaded light to reduce the chances of
fogging the film.
• Do not use Polaroid instant 35mm film. Winding problems may occur.
• Non DX-coded film:
If non-DX-coded film is used, the ISO setting of the previous roll of film
will be used.
The camera assumes the number of frames is no more than 36. If a
roll of non-DX-coded film with more than 36 exposures is loaded,
please change the Film Rewind Start customized setting to manual
start (p 102).
