How To Load The Canon Sure Shot 85 Zoom 35mm Film Camera

Step 1:  Insert Battery Into Camera

Before loading film into the Canon Sure Shot 85 Zoom, you will need to load the battery into the camera.  The battery compartment is located on the left side of the camera.  Gently open the door and place the CR123A battery inside the compartment so that the battery matches the illustration.  The + side of the battery should face the bottom of the camera.

Step 2:  Open Film Door

The film is loaded into the back of the camera.  Pop open the film door by pressing downwards on the latch on the right side of the camera.

Step 3:  Place Film Canister Inside Of Camera

Take your film canister and set it onto the spool on the right side of the camera.  The spool should insert into the open bottom of the film canister so that the film itself is hanging out to the left.  Gently take the exposed film and pull it to the left so that the end of the film is hanging past the spool on the left hand side of the camera.

Step 4:  Close Film Door

Once you have correctly inserted the film into the camera, gently close the film door on the back of the camera.  You should hear the film winding inside of the camera and see the counter on top of the camera move to "1".  You are now ready to shoot film photos with your Canon Sure Shot 85 Zoom!
