Check that the position of the film corresponds to that shown

in the diagram. The matt emulsion side must face the lens

and the focal plane shutter; the take-up spool winds the film

with the emulsion side outwards. The edge of the film must be

parallel to the bright metal guide-rails of the film channel.

Stroke the transport lever gently to engage the teeth of the

transport sprocket in the perforations of the film. Now close

the camera back, replace the base plate, and lock it.

The length of film between the cartridge and the take-up spool

is, of course, already fogged and useless for taking pictures.

It must therefore be wound on once the camera is

closed to bring a fresh unexposed portion of the film

into position. Work the film transport lever, and release

the shutter. Repeat this. Then set the film counter to

No. 0. Pull the film transport lever once more as far as it

will go: the film counter now indicates No. 1, and the

LEICA is ready for the first exposure.

Check that the film advances properly. The red dots on the

shaft of the rewind knob must rotate while the film is being

wound on.
