insert the battery incorrectly, the film magazine will not be damaged though it will not func- tion. Try to avoid touching the surface of the battery with your bare fingers as sweat residue can decrease the electrical conductivity of the battery casing and might cause corrosion.

Aer battery replacement, the magazine’s parameters return to the default settings (Barcode, 120, Data-on, Count up).

Attaching and removing the magazine

You cannot remove a magazine from the camera body if the magazine darkslide is not in place, (when the magazine darkslide indicator on the magazine shows white). Neither can you withdraw the magazine darkslide when the magazine is not attached to the camera. Both these restrictions therefore prevent accidental film loss caused by fogging.

Attachment

Position the magazine retention groove onto the magazine support on the camera body ensuring that they are correctly positioned. Swing the magazine towards the camera body and firmly press into place with a click. If there is resistance, the magazine retaining catch on the camera has probably been inadvertently released. In that case, push the release button again to reset the catch.

You can attach and remove the magazine with or without the film holder in place. If you just want to change to a new film, you can remove and reload the film holder without having to remove the whole magazine.

Removal

Ensure that the darkslide indicator on the magazine shows red (signifying that the darkslide is closed). Firstly press slightly on the centre of the magazine release button and twist it clockwise until it stops. en press the button firmly inwards towards the camera body (see diag.) to finally release the magazine.
