Unloading the
camera
After the film is fully exposed
When the footage counter shows that the film is enti-
rely exposed, run the camera for about 10 seconds to
wind the end leader on to the take-up spool. Before
opening the camera, make sure there is no film left in
the gate, as follows:
Move the exposure knob guide mark to position T and
turn the turret to reveal the aperture. Then push the side
release to P to open the shutter. If any film remains,
it
will be seen, as an ivory coloured rectangle, in the
aperture. Only one frame will be lost by making this
check. Do not open the camera in bright light or the
sensitive film may be fogged.
Spool ejector.
This device simplifies spool changing.
A slight pressure on the ejector lever frees both spools,
which can then easily be removed from the camera.
Holding it firmly so that the film cannot unwind, place
the full spool in its metal container.
