OK, first roll through my 4am and I just realized I cannot figure out how to rewind the film. My only manual is for a 4, which uses a different process. Help from you 4am ers.

i just went through this same thing.

on the base of the body are the 2 locks that reqire turning to remove the base. the one on the right, same side as film advance, needs to be turned towards the red dot and then the film can be advanced.

Joe has it right. Turn the right-side key as though removing the back and that allows the film to be rewound. The key doesn't have to be turned more than roughly 30 degrees to activate the rewind function.

When you have the film rewound and remove the back, take note of the mechanism that depresses the rewind pin inside the camera's body. It's a rather ingenious set-up and seems to work well. Still, I've never been fond of it, preferring an external pin that I can see....... but that's just me. :)
