Canon EOS 300 How to Load Film

Loading a film is very simple; however, it is interesting to understand how the film transport system works. Once you load a new 35-millimeter film cartridge, the system will wind the entire content onto the take-up spool. Then, each time you take a picture, one frame of used film rewinds back into the cartridge.

1. Turn the Command Dial to any setting except <L>.
2. Open the film compartment door by sliding up the lock button.
3. Insert the film cartridge as shown in the photographs.
4. Pull the film leader up to the orange mark, and close the door.

The system also senses DX coded film and automatically sets the appropriate ISO speed. There is also a facility to rewind the film from a mid point, if you intend not to use all of it.
