Mamiya M645 - Using Roll-Film Designed for Six Exposures; Load film and use normally; Adjust shutter speed and wind; Remove film insert

t
Never foad
film in
direct
sunlight. Load
it in the shade
or in
your
own shadow.
r
Roll-film
inserts
for
both
120
and
22O
tilm are
loaded in
the same
manner. The exposure counter
advances
to
15
when the
'120
film insert
is
used, and
to 30
when the 220
film insert is used.
Make
absolutely
sure to
match the film insert
with the film
type being used.
lf the
wrong insert is
used,
the correct
film
plane
will not be
maintained
and
optimum sharpness
will
not
be
achieved. Moreover,
if 120 lilm is used
in the
220 liim insert, there
is the danger of
the leader
paper
getting
caught
in the shutter causing
damage
to the
cam-
era.
t
Belore
placing
the film insert into the camera,
make sure
the leader
paper
on the take-up spool
is flat and
lies
evenly
between
the
two
edges
of the
take-up
spool.
The
take-up
spool
should be wound
sufficiently tight
to make it impos-
sible
for the leader
paper
to ride over
the
edge of
the
take-up
spool.
t
Always align
the
start marks ol
the lilm
end spool clip
before
placing
the
film insert into
the
camera.
(lf
the slart
marks are aligned within
the
camera
wilh the
aid
of
the
lilm advance knob, the lirst
frame will not be correctly
positioned.)
o
Using
Roll-Film
Designed
for Six
Exposures
lf
you
wish to use
roll-film designed
for six
6
x6cm
ex-
posures,
follow
the
procedure
outlined
below.
1.
Load the film
in
a
120 film insert and use
in the normal
way.
The film will take
7
exposures.
2. Alter
7
exposures
have been
taken,
set
the shutter
speed
dial to
1/500
sec.,
wind the film
advance
knob and
release
the shutter
4
more
times
(the
exposure
counter
will indicate
"11").
3.
Wind
the
film advance
knob once again
so
that the
ex-
posure
counter
indicates
"'12",
open
the back cover,
and
remove the
film insert.
(Do
not
release the shutter
when
the
exposure
counter
indicates
"12".)
4.
Completely
wind
the remaining
leader
paper
around
the
film take-up spool.
*
lf the film in the camera
is
completely
wound onto
th€
take-up spool,
there is the danger
of
the tip of
the
leader
paper getting
caught in
the shutter curtain
and
damaging
the camera.
