Hi Riz, You use the rewind crank to spool the film back into the canister. The small rewind lever, when engaged, lets the sprocket wheel inside the camera turn only in one direction, the direction the film moves when winding on for the next frame. This is to prevent that film accidentally is wound back (partially) which would result in overlapping frames. If you want to wind the film back into the canister to take it out of the camera you need to unblock the sprocket wheel so that it can rotate in reverse direction. If you do not do that the perforation of the film will be torn or the film will rip off the spool inside the canister when you try to rewind it. Hope it helps. Martin |
