Loading The Minolta SRT Cameras 35mm Film
Loading your security camera in the tunnel with a new roll of 35mm film is a matter simple. If you're new to the camera, though, should take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the process in particular.
Get in the habit of not opening the chamber again unless you are absolutely sure that there is no film loaded inside. Opening the back while film is outside the strip of metal, the film will be ruined. To check, lift the handle on the rewind knob. Carefully turn the crank clockwise. If the handle spins freely, there is no movie loaded in the camera or the film has been rewound internal security protective cartridge.
If the handle does not turn, does not load film into the camera. You will need to rewind the film so you can safely open the back. Turn the camera upside down and press the clutch. You'll find the clutch located in a small triangular recess formed at the bottom. Press down until it clicks remains depressed. Return the camera to the vertical position, then turn right film until the handle turns freely.
Now you can open the back. Take control rewind and pull up slowly and constantly moving. As you pull the knob up, you hear a metallic sound and the back will open. Turn your back completely open. If a cassette is exposed in the camera, pull up rewind knob and lift the cassette itself.
Take a roll again and pull the leader from the cassette of about five inches. Place the cassette on the left side of the camera with the plastic nipple down. Lift the rewind knob to allow the cartridge snaps into place, then press down on the knob securing the cartridge film.
Now take the guide and drag the film through the film platen so that fits over the pine nuts dual. Insert the narrow part of the leader in the slots of the take-reel.
Once the leader is caught in the reel, turn the lever wind a while looking to see that the sprocket holes engage the sprockets properly. If everything looks good, near the back, pressing on the left edge until it snaps into place.
Now wind the throttle twice. To advance the film, you have to press the shutter release each time you hit the lever to of their movement. At this point, look at the fight against the film. It should be noted in 1. Do not be greedy. If you try to stretch the film by not advancing the film advance a maximum of two frames, you'll probably find the first picture is cloudy. So make sure to wind up the full two frames.
Despite the SRT has a strong film transport, if not engaged in making the film spool properly, it is possible for the film to slide free. When this happens, the film will not advance. In essence, it will end up with all your presentations in a single frame.
Minolta obviously realized that this could be a problem they include a charge of "Safe" indicator in the latest model of the SRT series. Do not worry if you have one of the majority of the SRT who do not have this feature. It is easy to check if the film is loaded correctly.
Use the same trick described Rewind to check for loaded movie. After closed the back and the wind bent the lever twice, lift the handle and carefully movie trying to rewind the film to the left. (Do not press the button clutch) If you can move the crank more than half a turn, the movie probably has slipped free. Wind back a few more turns, open the back and reload the film properly.
If the film seems to be loaded OK, you look at the rewind knob when you advance the film. If the film moves through the chamber whenever you advance the shutter, rewind knob turn to the left.
After taking all photos in the census, should rewind the tape again before opening the back and remove the cassette. If you've been paying attention you already know how to do this. Press the clutch, carefully rewind the film rewind button. You will feel the film when free tugs assimilation spool. Turn the knob a few more times until it turns freely. Now you can open the camera and remove the film processing.
