How to Load and Remove Film in a Manual Camera

    Load film

    • 1


      Pull up on the film rewind button until the back cover opens up.

    • 2


      Open the camera back. (Keep an open camera away from direct sunlight.)

    • 3


      Insert a roll of 35mm film into the chamber.

    • 4


      Grasp the end of the film or leader and carefully pull toward the opposite end of the camera interior.

    • 5


      Insert the leader into any slot of the take-up spool.

    • 6


      Pull the advance film lever once. Make sure the film perforations are in the teeth of the transport sprocket and take-up spool.

    • 7


      Make sure the film is lying flat. If it is looping out, it will not move forward properly in the camera. It must be taut. Slowly turn the rewind crank in the direction of the arrow until it stops. Close the cover. Take several blank shots until the number 1 shows up on the frame counter.

    Remove film

    • 1


      Place the end of the film box into the memo holder pocket, to remind you what kind of film it is and the number of frames or exposures.

    • 2


      Understand that, when you are at the end of your film, the advance lever will either not move at all or only move part of the way. It is important that you push the rewind button. Turn the rewind crank in the direction of the arrow. The frame counter will count backward as you do this. It will end at S.

      Watch for the back to pop open. Remove the film canister and reload the camera.
