Taking Photographs Unloading Exposed Film

When the film is advanced to the next frame, the numeral in the Exposure Counter will automatically change.

• CAUTION

120 or 220 film used in this roll film holder is, unlike 35 mm film, not perforated.

Therefore, if it is advanced very rapidly, the spacing between frames may become uneven. So, be sure to gently operate the cocking lever with even strokes to maintain proper frame spacing.

After an exposure is made, the automatic double exposure prevention mechanism blocks the shutter release until the film has been advanced.

After completing the last exposure, press the Cocking Lever several times, until the film and backing paper have been com- pletely wound onto the Take-up Spool. In- stead of using the Cocking Lever, you can use the Film Advance Knob of the Film In- sert, if you prefer.

Then open the back cover of the Film Holder and remove the Film Insert.

While holding down the right-hand Spool Release Pin, remove the film, making sure that the backing paper does not unroll or become loose.

To prepare for future use, remove the empty spool from the Film Insert and move it to the right-hand side so that it will act as the new Take-up Spool.

When the back cover of the holder is opened, the Exposure Counter will automati- cally return to 'S' (Start).

If anything other than 'S' appears in the Expo- sure Counter, it indicates that there is film in the holder. To prevent accidental exposure of the film, always check the Exposure Counter before opening the back cover of the holder.

To process a partially exposed roll of film, first insert the Dark Slide and remove the holder. Next, while holding in the pin in the center of the coupler “A”, completely wind the film onto the Take-up Spool with the Film Advance Knob. Instead of continuously holding in the coupler pin, you can push it in once after each frame, if preferred.
