3. Draw the leader from the film roll, and insert
the leader end into the take-up spool's slit.
Slowly rotate the film winding gear by one
turn in the direction of the arrow.
4. Wind the leader paper upon the take-up spool
until the arrow marking on the leader appears;
it should be aligned with the holder's start
mark S (red line).
• Care must be taken so that the leader paper's
arrow marking does not go far beyond the
holder's red dot, for you may lose the last frame(s)
on the roll. Then attach the holder to the camera
body according to the holder attaching/detaching
instructions. Refer to p. 20 43 for shooting.
After all of the frames on the roll have been
exposed, remove the film holder from the camera,
follov,/ing the attaching/detaching instructions.
The built-in motor drive unit automatically stops
as soon as the last frame is exposed and wound
onto the take-up spool. Then the LCD exposure
counter displays the number which is the total
exposure number of the film in use, plus one.
For example, 16 in the case of 120 film.
5. Take the film holder out, and you will see
the exposed filmwound on the take-up spool.
6. While firmly holding the wound film roll,
remove it after pushing the spool retainer
out. Using the paper seal on the back of
the paper leader, securely paste to prevent
accidental unwinding of the exposed roll.
