To load a Canon film camera, a key step involves correctly attaching the film leader to the camera's take-up spool after the film canister is in place.
Based on standard procedures for loading many film cameras, including models like the Canon AE-1 Program, here are the actions involved in securing the film leader to the take-up spool:
- Placement: After the film canister is placed into the designated pocket inside the camera body.
- Leader Pull: Pull the leader of the film over towards the camera's take-up spool.
- Insertion: Insert the film leader into the slot provided on the take-up spool.
- Secure: Make sure the leader is pushed deep inside the take-up spool slot to ensure it catches and winds correctly.
This process is a crucial part of loading film, allowing the camera to properly advance the film frame by frame as you take pictures.
