Then it might be a good habit, from time to time perhaps, to tighten it. Btw, the knob turns, so I loaded it properly.

Greetings, Fellow Pentax Users!

I got myself a Pentax MX recently in mint condition (apparently). I haven't finished the first roll of film yet (Kodak Gold 200), but I've been constantly worried about one thing:
Before/after taking a shot, can I advance forward or backwards the film by moving the rewind knob by accident? I know that if I gently move the knob in the arrow's direction, it stops after a while and I never forced it. However should I turn it the opposite direction of arrow, would it advance backwards? (without pulling up the knob)
I've been worried if I would ruin my previous shots by accidentally rolling it back and not noticing it. So I've always been putting a very minimal pressure on it if it hasn't been used for a while.

Sorry, if my question seems very stupid for veterans, but this is my very first film camera, I'm coming from digital.
