Loading
the film
This camera is
designed to use DX
coded 35 mm film to
automatically set film
speed. If DX-coded
film is unavailable,
use ISO 100 film.

Prepare a "DX" film cartridge.
The camera will set itself auto-
matically for DX-coded film
speeds from ISO 50 to 3200.
*When using non-DX film, the film
speed is automatically set to ISO 100.
Insert the film cartridge into the
camera.
Avoid direct sunlight when load-
ing the film.
Be sure the film is lying flat.
8

Align the film leader with the red film loading indicator.
Adjust the length of the film leader before loading so that it matches
with the red loading indicator.
Make sure the film leader tip is not bent and the film perforations are
properly aligned and engaged as shown.
Close the camera back firmly.
(Make sure the back cover lock
snaps down.)
