LOADING FILM
BASIC
OPERATION
Check the film window before loading film. If film is loaded, do not open the back
cover. Refer to Manual Rewind on page 24 to remove a partially exposed roll.
• Load film in the shade to reduce the chances of fogging the film.
• Do not use Polaroid Instant 35mm film. Winding problems may occur.
1. Turn the back-cover release counter-
clockwise to open the back cover.
The shutter curtain’s precision design makes it
extremely sensitive to pressure. Never touch it
with your fingers or the film tip.
