Canon V - Manual (Page 13)

Pull the film cartridge to the recess directly beneath the
Rewind Knob. Depress the Film Rewind Knob (23) again to
lock the film cartridge in place. Be sure the dull (emulsion)
side of the film faces the lens.
With your thumb on the knurled lower end of the Take-Up
Spool (36), turn the spool clockwise half a turn until the film
is taut. (Be sure the index line of the Film Rewind Ring (2)
points to the “A” position.)
The camera back will lock shut automatically when you
close it. Next, wind film one turn* and press the shutter re­
lease Button (4). Repeat these actions once more. By doing
this you will have cleared the two frames already exposed to
light while you were loading. After this, you may use the
Rapid Winder Mechanism (25).
The film dot on the Film Transport Indicator (6) will
make one complete turn each time you advance the film one
frame. You will know you have loaded correctly if the Rewind
Knob turns in a counter-clockwise direction each time you
cock the shutter mechanism.
