Open the camera backdoor by firmly pushing down the latch on the side of the camera. The backdoor of the camera should softly open.
Open the backdoor of the camera. Here you will see film canister as well as the film take-up spool.
Lift and pull the film rewind knob up. This will ensure that your roll of 35mm film will fit inside.
Insert the new roll of film into the film canister so that the film leader tab is at the bottom.
Use on hand to hold down the new roll of film and the other hand to pull the film leader tab to the film take-up spool. Hook one of the bottom film sprocket holes onto one the notches. Ensure that the new film roll remains flush inside the film canister.
Push the film rewind knob down in the place, slightly turn the film advance wheel to the right while ensuring that the film is flat against the center of the camera.
When the film has wrapped around the spool once, close the backdoor. If the film is curving, carefully unattach the film leader tab from the spool and follow steps 2 and 3 again.
Continue to advance the film by turning the advance wheel until it stops, then press the shutter button. Repeat the is process until the film count shows the number "1". The camera is now read to take photos.
Once the film counter shows the number "1" do not open the backdoor anymore, it will be expoed to light and possibly be ruined. Now you're ready to capture memories on film! Happy shooting, join the film movement!
