Aligning frame counter and number of frame on the film

The frame counter and the number of frame on the film in use can be aligned.

Insert film after rotating the camera sprocket with your finger until it stops rotating.

• You can rotate the sprocket in either direction.

• The frame counter and the number of frame on the film may not align precisely with some films.

Confirming film advance status

Film advance status can be confirmed while camera back is opened.

1 Turn the power switch on and lift the film rewind knob. The camera back will pop open.

2 Insert film and press the film rewind knob down.

3 Align the film leader to the index mark and depress the shutter release button.

• Depress the shutter release button while aligning the perforations on the film with the projections on the film spool.

• Film advances another frame when the camera back is closed. (Release the shutter when “Press rel button” is set in Custom Setting “d1: Film loading”, x 101.)

Note that the usable number of frames decreases as you keep depressing the shutter release button to confirm the film advance status.
