Insert the tip of the film leader into the film insertion guide. Be

careful to keep the film tightly wound on the reel.

Be sure that the pressure plate is at its proper position. If the

pressure plate is parted from the aperture section, the film can

not be advanced. Also check to see that the sprocket Guide and the

pressure plate tightening screws are not loose to secure the positive

film advance.

Depress the shutter release button while pushing the film leader

lightly into the film insertion guide. The film guide will close

and the film will automatically proceed through the film guides and

the aperture section and come out from the bottom sprocket. Stop

depressing the shutter release button when 15 to 20cm of film

leader has passed through the last guide roller.

Have the take-up spool ready. Bend the tip of the film leader

towards the emulsion side and insert into the take-up spool as

indicated by the diagram inside the camera. Wind the film leader

tightly three or four times around the spool.

Place the take-up spool on the take-up spool shaft.
