Winding the Film

The Film Advance Lever winds the film, cocks the shutter, and prepares the rest of the camera's mechanism for the next picture - all in one motion.
1.
Bell and Howell Auto 35, exposure counter
When the film has been loaded and the back is closed, the Exposure Counter will be on "S" (for Start). Press the Shutter Release and advance the Film Advance Lever a FULL stroke, then repeat, until the counter reads "0". You are now ready to advance for the first picture.
2.
Bell and Howell Auto 35, film advance lever
Once a picture has been taken, just move the Film Advance Lever a full stroke (or several small strokes until the lever locks) for the next shot. You cannot take a picture unless the film has been advanced. The Counter automatically shows how many pictures have been taken. NOTE: Watch the Rewind Knob when advancing the film. When the slack is out of the cartridge, the knob will turn counter-clockwise to show the film is advancing properly.
