FILM LOADING
The lm magazine can be loaded either on or o the cam-
era. Regularly check the interior of the magazine and re-
move dust, particles or any scraps of paper from previous
rolls of lm. Load and unload lm magazines away from di-
rect light sources.
1) Fold out the lm holder key and turn it counter-clock-
wise 90° A. Withdraw the lm holder com pletely B.
2) Place an empty take-up spool in the upper spool holder
by placing one end over the xed stud in the holder and
the other end underneath the sprung spool retaining
arm. Rotate the spool a little if necessary until it clicks
into position.
3) Completely remove the retaining paper band from a
new roll of lm and place it in the lower spool holder.
See diagram for correct orientation. Ensure you do not
place the lm spool the wrong way around!
4) Pull 8–10 cm (3–4 in.) of paper backing from the lm roll
and insert the tongue of the backing paper into the slot
in the take-up spool. Turn the spool one complete turn
to ensure the tongue is rmly held in place by the overly-
ing paper backing.
5) Re-insert the lm holder into the main body of the lm
magazine ensuring the correct orientation. Press rmly
inwards towards the magazine and pay particular
attention to see that both sides are level with the maga-
zine body A before turning the lm holder key clockwise
90˚ to lock the lm holder in place and fold the key back
into its stored position B. You might nd that increased
pressure on the left hand side of the lm holder will
more easily ensure a positive and correct positioning in
the magazine.
If the camera is active or in standby mode the lm will be
wound automatically by the camera to position the rst
frame (this function can be changed in ‘Custom options’ so
that the lm is advanced only when the shutter release but-
ton is pressed the rst time).
Beeper
The beeper sounds immediately after the last-but-one
frame has been exposed. This function can be turned o in
Custom Options.

FILM WIND ON AND OFF
Wind on: See ‘Film wind-on’ under Custom Options for a
setting choice.
Wind o: When the last frame has been exposed, the lm
will automatically be wound o. However, to wind o a lm
sooner, press the lm wind o button (g. 6). Use a ballpoint
pen or similar to activate it. You must also conrm the mes-
sage on the grip LCD (g. 7) before the lm winds o.
UNLOADING A FILM
To remove a lm, remove the lm holder in the same manner as when loading a lm. Grip the exposed roll of
lm rmly and remove. Ensure the paper backing is wound tightly and that it is sealed with the band proper-
ly (the band may need to be moistened to activate the adhesive depending on type). Store exposed lms away
from strong light sources and contact with sharp objects. Move the remaining empty spool to the take-up spool
compartment.
