1. After the last picture, operate Film Advance Lever until it locks. An "X" that appears
in the window indicates that the film has been exposed. Don't remove the cartridge from

several exposures will be "light-fogged."
2. Slide down Lock Lever and open the back cover.
3. Remove the cartridge and close the back cover.
