Then when the bottom is on and locked and the back door is inside at the bottom I lift the rewind crank. Advance the film one more time, now lightly rewind the the film to take up the slack in the cassette and then with the rewind crank up advance to frame one, watching to see that the rewind crank is turning. When your sure, fold it back down and happy imaging.
