Once film is loaded and before it is fully rewound, do not push the safety catch indiscriminately.
Otherwise, the back cover will spring open, and all your photos inside will be ruined 🤯

Congratulations 🎉🎊

In some cases, the first photo may not develop successfully.
Therefore, it is recommended to take the first photo twice.
This way, you won't lose your first shot! 💕
Forgot how many pictures you've taken?
No worries! Just check the indicator window at the top to see how many frames are left! 😆🤙🏻
