Removing film from the magazine 9
When the last frame has been exposed and wound on, the magazine blocks the camera
for further release.
Wind off the film by folding out the film winding crank, and rotate it clockwise until you
can feel the film leaving the supply spool.
You can now withdraw the film holder from the magazine and remove the exposed film.
The frame counter is automatically reset when the film holder is withdrawn from the
magazine.
Film tab holder 11
The end tab of the film pack can be inserted in the holder on the back of the magazine as
a reminder of the kind of film that has been loaded into the magazine.
Film plane position 12
In close-up photography the film-to-subject distance can be an important factor when
determining an accurate focus setting.The red line in the illustration marks the location
on the film magazines that coincides with the film plane position.
Double exposure with film
Double (or multiple) exposure is possible with a film magazine. However, as the camera
has been designed to prevent accidental double exposure you will have to carry out the
following procedure in order to make multiple exposures on the same frame:
1. Make the initial exposure.
2. Insert the magazine slide and remove the magazine.
3. Wind the camera with one full revolution of the winding crank.
4. Replace the magazine and remove the slide.
5. Make the next exposure.
6. Repeat the procedure for further exposures on the same frame.
