Then push the dark slide all the way down to seal the film from the dark.


 

 

It is a really good idea to try this with some dummy film several times with the light on and your eyes open to see exactly how this should work; then try it again with your eyes closed before trying to load the unexposed film.

Remember to make sure there is NO dust in the cut film holder, clean it at least 3-4 times, with compressed air, a soft paint brush or a vacuum cleaner.
