Unloading the Film


Shop here!

When the Exposure Counter reaches 20 (or 36) and you have taken that last picture, you are ready to unload.
1.
Bell and Howell Auto 35, exposure counter
BEFORE OPENING THE CAMERA BACK, push the Rewind Button IN, unfold the Rewind Crank, and rewind the film (turn the crank clockwise) until it is all back in the cartridge.
2.
Bell and Howell Auto 35, film advance lever
You will notice the crank is much easier to turn when all the film is rewound, and the counter will be at "0".

When the film is completely rewound, open the back by pulling the Rewind Knob out and remove the cartridge. Have the film processed as soon as possible after exposing it. The Rewind Button will automatically pop out when you reload and advance the film.

NOTE: If you are at the end of the cartridge and you feel tension on the lever when advancing the film, do not force the lever, but proceed to unload the film immediately. Excessive force on the film advance lever can damage the film or cause the film to separate from the cartridge.
