Film Loading
The lm magazine can be loaded either on or off the camera.
Regularly check the interior of the magazine and remove dust,
particles or any scraps of paper from previous rolls of lm. Load
and unload lm magazines away from direct light sources.
1. Fold out the lm holder key and turn it counter-clockwise
90° A. Withdraw the lm holder completely.
2. Place an empty take-up spool in the upper spool holder
by placing one end over the xed stud in the holder and
the other end underneath the sprung spool retaining arm.
Rotate the spool a little if necessary until it clicks into
position.
3. Completely remove the retaining paper band from a new roll
of lm and place it in the lower spool holder. See diagram
for correct orientation. Ensure you do not place the lm
spool the wrong way around!
4. Pull 8–10 cm (3–4 in.) of paper backing from the lm roll
and insert the tongue of the backing paper into the slot
in the take-up spool. Turn the spool one complete turn to
ensure the tongue is rmly held in place by the overlying
paper backing.
5. Re-insert the lm holder into the main body of the lm
magazine ensuring the correct orientation. Press rmly
inwards towards the magazine and pay particular attention
to see that both sides are level with the magazine body
before turning the lm holder key clockwise 90° to lock the
lm holder in place and fold the key back into its stored
position B. You might nd that increased pressure on the
left hand side of the lm holder will more easily ensure
a positive and correct positioning in the magazine. If the
camera is active or in standby mode the lm will be wound
automatically by the camera to position the rst frame.
Beeper
The beeper sounds immediately after last-but-one frame has
been exposed. This function can be turned off in Options.
Unloading a lm
Remove the lm holder in the same manner as when loading
a lm. Grip the exposed roll of lm rmly and remove. Ensure
the paper backing is wound tightly and that it is sealed with the
band properly (the band may need to be moistened to activate
the adhesive depending on type). Store exposed lms away from
strong light sources and contact with sharp objects. Move the
remaining empty spool to the take-up spool compartment.
