During the rewind process, the frame counter displays a running “snake”,
and when rewinding is complete (motor turns off) the frame counter display shows the
symbol “o _”.
Release the film rewind button , and the frame counter display shows the symbol
“– O”.
Press the back cover unlock button 26 Fig. 5, open the back cover, and take out the film cassette
from the cassette chamber 11. The Camera will allow you to rewind the film on any frame (not
necessarily on the very last fame). To do this it is necessary to press the film rewind button on any
frame and to perform all steps above.
If for some reason film does not wind into the cassette (broken film, film is wedged
in the cassette, etc.), the frame counter display shows the blinking symbol “_o”.
In this case it is necessary to open the camera back cover in complete darkness,
take out the cassette, remove the film from take up spool, and wind the film into the
cassette.
