Rewind the film into the cartridge using the rewind mechanism before opening the back to remove the exposed roll.

Usage recommendations

Use light meters or a smartphone metering app when precise exposure is required, and prefer daylight or controlled lighting for predictable results. Handle the camera carefully to maintain consistent manual focusing; store in a dry, dust-free environment and have film processed at a reputable lab.
