7.4 Attaching the Magazine

Move the magazine release lever safety catch to the open position Aphoto.

Press down the magazine release lever Aphoto and remove the magazine opening cover.

Remove the loop protector from the magazine.

Place the magazine’s throat in the camera opening and slide the magazine forward into the camera until it latches.

Flip the magazine release lever safety catch forward to prevent accidental release of the magazine.

Press the “PHASE” button for a couple of seconds to inch the film.

Note:

After a new magazine has been attached or after

 

camera power has been turned on, you should

 

always push the “PHASE” button to perform a loop

 

check (the display shows “LooP“). This takes about

 

2 seconds and will engage the pull down claw,

 

check loop size and centre the loop properly.

Note:

If the loop check finds that the loop is too short for

 

safe camera performance the message “Error

 

LooP.S“ will show in the camera display. The camera

 

is not ready and will not run. If the loop check

 

finds that the loop is too long for safe camera

 

performance the message “Error LooP.L“ will show

 

in the camera display. The camera is not ready

 

and will not run.
