| Nikon F 1959 - 1974 / Loading the Film | |
| Turn the lock on the camera bottom to the "open" position |
|
| The camera back is then unlocked and may be completely removed by sliding it off with the thumb |
|
| The take-up spool is fixed and cannot be taken out, assuring more uniform film take-up and easier film loading. |
|
|
Place a film cartridge or loaded cassette in the left chamber, so that the projection of the cassette fits into the guide notch. Insert the end of the leader of the film into the slot on the take up spool , so that the projection in the take up slot catches, the perforation of the film . Rotate the spool in the direction of the film cartridge so that the film passes under the spool and the emulsion side is wound face out. |
|
| Replace the camera back and lock it. |
|
|
Lift the film rewind crank, gently wind it in the direction of the arrow
to take up the film slack in the cartridge.
Turn the A R ring on the shutter release button to " A " (Advance) position. Shoot one or two "blank" exposures which will dispose of the portion of the film exposed during loading. While doing this, note that the rewinding knob rotates in the, direction opposite to the arrow on the knob, indicating that the film is correctly loaded and is being advanced. It is important that the A R ring on the shutter release button be turned to " A " before the "blank" shots are made. |
