The procedure for loading the magazine is the same whether it is on the camera or off the camera. When only one
magazine is in use, there is no need to remove it from the camera. In this case the magazine slide remains permanently
in the storage compartment in the rear of the magazine.
Basic rule: Unfold the crank (1) and turn it forward and backward until it locks.

To open the magazine: Unlock the back (2) and swing open (3). This also makes the magazine knob (4) jump out; the
exposure counter (5) now indicates No. 1. Grip the film insert by the central bar (6) and swing it out of the magazine.
Setting the film counter to 12 or 24 exposures: Switch over the setting lever (7). The film counter (5) shows by its
number - 12 or 24 - whether the magazine is set for No. 120 or 220 roll film.
You can switch over even when the magazine is closed, as long as the film counter still shows No. 1.
Loading a roll film: Swing open the spool holder (8). Remove the seal of the roll film (9) and fit the spool between the
fixed and the hinged shaft pins so that the black inside surface of the backing paper (10) faces outwards. Run the
backing paper round the film insert and thread it into the slot (11) of the empty spool. With one or two turns of the
gear wheel (12) tighten the paper leader firmly well. This will keep the distances between the exposures sufficiently
small to avoid a possible loss of the 12th or 24th exposure (film transport control may be interfered by film windings
being too loose).
