Knowing properly load film into your Pentax camera can mean the difference between having a useful roll of film or an accidentally exposed roll. If you fail to properly attach the film to the take up spool, your film may not be exposed at all. Follow these procedures to properly load film into your Pentax camera.
Instructions
1. Lift up the rewind knob located on the left side of your Pentax camera. When the knob is lifted, the back of the camera will open.
2. Take the film out of its plastic container. Save the container to put the used film in before having it developed.
3. Lay the camera on a hard surface with the back side of the camera facing upward. Load the film into the opening on the left side of the camera. Push the roll of film firmly into the holder and push the knob down to fasten the film roll securely in place.
4. Pull the film out of the roll and over to the other side where a spool is located. Find a slit in the spool and insert the end of the film into the slit. Make sure the film completes one full circle in the spool by pushing the advance button on your camera to firmly secure the film.
5. Close the back cover of your Pentax and begin taking pictures.
