Loading the Film

For excellent all-around results for indoor and outdoor picture-taking, use ISO 400-speed film. For use in bright daylight, you can use ISO 100- or ISO 200-speed film. If in sunlight, turn your back to the sun and load the film in the shade of your body.

1. Push up on the FILM-DOOR LATCH to open the FILM DOOR.

   

   IMPORTANT: Do not use the film-rewind handle when you load film into the camera. Use it only for rewinding the film.

2. Insert the film cartridge at a slight downward angle into into the FILM CHAMBER, placing the flat end of the cartridge over the FILM SPINDLE. Push the other end of the cartridge down into the film chamber until it fits securely in place.

   Do not force it into the film chamber.

   

3. Pull out the film leader until the tip reaches the film-load mark. Lay the film flat between the film-guide rails.

   

   If the end of the film extends past the film-load mark, gently push the excess back into the cartridge.

   

4. Close the film door and check the FILM WINDOW (you should see the film information through the window). Do not open the film door after you start taking pictures or you will ruin the film.

   

5. Slide the LENS-COVER SWITCH completely open to uncover the LENS and to turn the FLASH on.

   

6. Press the SHUTTER BUTTON and turn the FILM-ADVANCE WHEEL until it locks (the PICTURE COUNTER will start at "S"). Continue doing this until the picture counter shows "1." (If the picture counter does not move, reload the film into the camera by following these instructions.)

   

   Note: Because of limited space on the picture counter, each dot represents one picture.
