This isnt a digital rebel eos i just purchased this camera off of ebay and have no clue how to load the film I've attached the links for the owners manual for this camera as well as the specific instructions for loading film. Have fun!
Here are the instructions:
Loading film.
* Check the film window in the camera back to ensure that no film is already installed. Then slide the camera back lock release lever (located on the left side of the body) in the direction indicated. The camera back will pop open.
* Take the film canister and turn it upside-down so that the plastic cylindrical end is at the bottom. Slot it into the film chamber on the left side of the camera.
* Once the film is snugly seated pull the protruding film tongue out until the end is lined up with the orange mark on the right side of the film chamber.
* Do this very carefully and avoid touching the shutter (the venetian blind-like section in the middle of the camera) since it鈥檚 a very delicate mechanism. If you poke your fingers through the shutter the camera will be useless.
* Make sure that the film is lying reasonably flat (it鈥檒l want to curl, so you won鈥檛 be able to get it totally flat) and then close the camera back.
* The camera should make faint whirring sounds for a half minute or so as it prewinds the film. When it鈥檚 finished the total number of shots available on the roll will be displayed in the top deck LCD panel. Occasionally film manufacturers will make a roll slightly longer than they鈥檙e rated for, so don鈥檛 be surprised if you get 25 shots out of a 24 exposure roll, say.
* If the camera whirs for a few seconds and then stops and a film icon blinks in the top deck LCD it means that the film did not load correctly, probably because you didn鈥檛 pull the film out of the canister far enough. Open the camera back and make sure the end of the film tongue is aligned to the orange mark.
* Note that although the camera uses a safety prewind system to minimize the risk of film being wrecked by opening the camera back prematurely, there is no interlock mechanism in the camera back. In other words, there is nothing to stop you from opening the camera back in the middle of a shoot and ruining some of the photos you鈥檝e just taken. So be careful when opening the camera back, and never open it if shots remaining are displayed on the top-deck LCD panel. Press the midroll rewind button first. Open the cartridge. Pop it in. |
