PANAFLEX MILLENNIUM
magazine
4.2 Inching
The inching knobs are located on the back of
the magazine in the center of the hand grips.
To inch, depress and rotate the knobs.
4.3 Checking remaining footage
The remaining footage indicator is located on
the back of the magazine between the two hand
grips. To read remaining footage push the actu-
ator lever down until it contacts the film, then
read the scale. The actuator will return to a
neutral position when released.
4.4 Reverse
For double exposure shots, the camera must be
switched from forward to reverse. If a single
pass reverse shot is desired, the film must be
loaded on the take-up spindle. This requires
the film to be rewound so that the emulsion
side is out.
4.5 Brakes
Two solenoids are used to apply braking to the
feed and take-up spindle. This prevents film
from unspooling during transportation of a
loaded magazine. The solenoids are engaged
when the camera is powered down. An audible
“click” may be heard when this occurs.
When Millennium magazines are used on
other Panaflex cameras, the solenoids will
engage and disengage each time the camera is
rolled.
