Unloading the LEICA

When you have exposed the whole film, the transport lever can no

longer be moved. This indicates that the film must be rewound into

its cartridge. Set the reversing lever to "Ft" (15) and leave it there

while you pull up the rewind knob (6) as shown on the illustration on

page 20. Turn the rewind knob in the direction of the arrow until you

feel a definite resistance. Wind past this resistance, and give the

rewind knob a few more turns. You can now open the camera and

remove the exposed film cartridge.

You can also expose only a part of the film, say the first ten frames,

rewind it, and change to another film (e. g. color). If you intend to do

this be careful when rewinding. Give the rewind knob only one more

turn after winding past the resistance as the film comes off the take-

up spool. The leaves a short piece of film protruding from the cart-

ridge, which permits reloading later on. When you insert the partly

exposed film again, proceed as with an unexposed film (page 20).

Cover the lens with the lens-cap

, and then keep releasing the

shutter and advancing the film until the film counter indicates one

frame more than the number of pictures you had previously

exposed.
