Loading the Film
Prevention of Light Leaks Due To Loose Film
Winding
* Use your left thumb to press lightly on the
paper leader while advancing winding lever
slowly to assure smooth and tight film
take-up on the empty spool. Advance the
film and align the printed arrow start mark
with the small triangle start mark on the
camera. Then close the camera back.
For preventing the film loose winding
•
When any other numeral than "S" appears in the exposure counter window, it is an indicted
that the film is loaded. So do not open back cover.
•
If the film is not properly aligned with the “ ▼ ” indicator, the film may be improperly loaded
and cause spacing problems.
•
When a 6EX roll film (5 exposures) is used, the procedure of loading the film is the same as
with 120 roll film.
•
Make sure backing paper advances evenly between the spool flanges and does not begin to
slant. If it advances unevenly, remove the backing paper from the take-up spool and start over
again.
•
Do not pull excessively on the backing paper, and do not load/unload the film in direct
sunlight: bright light may fog the film.
•
Before loading the film into the camera, be careful of the film looseness.
•
When photographing with the 135 Panoramic Adapter, see its instructions.
