Mamiya 6MF - Film Loading Procedure; Advancing Film and Closing Back Cover

3. When the new roll has been inserted, be
sure to reset the lower spool stud by pres-
sing it in. (Also, be sure to reset the take-up
spool stud in a similar manner.)
4. Pull out the backing paper, and insert the
tip into the slot on the take-up spool as pic-
tured.
5. Wind the film advance lever until the
small arrow (the starting indicator on the
backing paper) aligns with the film starting
indicator
( 7 ) on the camera body. Then
close the back cover.
6. Wind the film advance until it stops and
“1” appears in the exposure counter
window.
l Make sure backing paper advances evenly be-
tween the spool flanges and does not begin to
slant. If it advances unevenly, remove the backing
paper from the take-up spool and refeed, starting
again.
l If the film is not properly aligned with the ‘7”
indicator. the film may be improperly loaded.
. When any other numeral than “S” appears in
the exposure counter window, it is an indication
that the film is loaded. So do not open!
. Do not pull excessively on the backing paper,
and do not load/unload the film in direct sunlight:
bright light may fog the film.
* Tightly wind the backing paper around the spool
a couple of times. If this is not done, light may
enter from the
spool flanges when the film is
unloaded.
