Operation
Battery
e magazine uses a battery to retain information and settings when unattached from
the camera. When attached to the camera body, the magazine takes its power require-
ments from the camera batteries. e magazine battery will normally be eective for 1-2
years depending on use (o camera illumination, for example). When the battery is in
a very low condition, (approx. 1 month of use le), a low-battery symbol appears on the
magazine LCD as a warning. e magazine will continue to function with no battery
power le as long as it remains attached to the camera body. However, when detached,
the settings will not be stored.
Battery replacement 1, 2
Release the lm holder by folding out the lm holder key and rotating it 90° in a counter-
clockwise direction. Withdraw the lm holder completely. On the bottom plate on the
inside of the lm magazine housing you will nd a slotted circular battery cover. Insert
a small coin or similar into the slot and rotate the cover about 20° in a counter-clockwise
direction. e cover will be freed and the battery can be removed. Replace with a fresh
CR2032 / 3V lithium (or equivalent) battery. Observe the polarity and ensure the positive
(+) face is uppermost and replace the cover (ensure the retaining lugs are inserted in the
battery compartment slots), locking it into place by rotating it in a clockwise direction
until it stops. If you inadvertently insert the battery incorrectly, the lm magazine will
not be damaged though it will not function. Try to avoid touching the surface of the
battery with your bare ngers as sweat residue can decrease the electrical conductivity
of the battery casing and might cause corrosion.
Aer battery replacement, the magazine’s parameters return to the default settings
(Barcode, 120, Data-on, Count up).
Attaching and removing the magazine 3, 4
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 lm 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 rmly press into place with a click. If there is resistance, the magazine retain-
ing 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 lm holder in place. If you
just want to change to a new lm, you can remove and reload the lm 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 push the lever of the magazine release button to the right (g.
4/1) and while maintaining that position press the centre of the button rmly inwards
towards the camera body (g. 4/2) to nally release the magazine.
Ensure you press on the centre of the button, not on the lever.
You cannot remove a magazine if the darkslide is not closed.
If the lm holder is inadvertently removed mid-lm, then exposed frames will natu-
rally be lost due to light fogging. However, if the lm holder is re-inserted, the lm will
automatically be advanced by three frames to position fresh unexposed lm. The lm
counter will also correspondingly add on three frames to the original number recorded
before the lm holder was removed.
