o Loading the Film
1. Pull the film tip from the magazine
and pass it under the panoramic frame
making sure it is between the four
guide pins of the frame. Then, securely
insert the tip into any of the slits on the
take-up spool. (Photo. E )
2. Slowly wind the Film Advance Lever
so that the film is wound around the
Winding Spool. Wind the film until the
advance lever comes to a stop at 180'.
lPhoto. E )
* lf the tilm is advanced more than a stop,
the number of possible exposures may be
reduced.
3. After the film has been initially
wound around the spool, be sure to
pull the Film Holder Roller Plate @ of
the Winding Spool in the direction of
the arrow before closing the back
cover. (Photo. E )
Then, wind the Film Advance Lever
until it stops completely. After repeat-
ing this 4 times, "1" will appear in the
Exposure Counter Window thus indi-
cating that the camera is ready for the
first exposure. (Photo. E )

Caution!! * Be sure to pullthe Film Holder Roller Plate in the direction of the arrow before closing the Back Cover as indicated above. Failure to do so will prevent the film advance stopper from engaging and allow the film advance lever to be wound freely. This will result in the film being wound around the spool without being exposed and the exposure counter will not engage. * The Exposure Counter lndicator will proceed from "S" to >>> 1. Be sure to confirm this sequence when winding the Film Advance Lever. To troubleshoot, should the above sequence malfunction for some reason, open the Back Cover and reset the Film Holder Roller Plate to the correct position. Then, close the Back Covef so that the exposure counter indicat or restarts from "S". Since it is possible that film has been exposed by opening the Back Cover, repeat the wind- ing as detailed above. So, be sure to always place the Film Holder Roller Plate in the cor- rect position.View original page 7
