"Hi! I am Fred Norwood on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip I am going to show you how to load your 35 mm point and shoot camera. When loading your 35 mm film camera, it is important to try to do this in a shaded area. If a shaded area is not available, then try turning your back to the sun so that your body can create a shaded area. Once you have decided on the type of film that you want to use, open the back of your camera. There is usually a latch available to do that. Once the camera is opened, you will see two sides. One side is a little bit bigger than the other and that is usually the side that you are going to put the film in. So you are going to place the film canister in the camera and you are going to pull the leader of film across to the mark that is usually inside the camera, leave the film right there at that point, close the back and the camera will do the rest. Now you are ready to take pictures."
