Slide the Holder Lock Lever of the Roll Film Holder completely toward the Lock Release Lever "A". 2. Align the orange circle "B" of the Revolving Ring (found at the rear of the camera) with one of the two white index marks "C" or "D" on the camera body. Hold the Holder so that its orange circle is at the same position as the one on the Re-volving Ring "B" and fit the holder onto the camera back, making sure that the four Camera Back Mount Pins fit into the four openings of the holder. · Do not touch the Light Baffle or mirror. Touching the Baffle could result in light leaking in or other malfunction. 4. Lock the holder to the camera body by moving the Slide Lock as far as it will go as indicated by the arrow. · Make sure that the holder securely couples with the camera body; otherwise light may leak in and cause film damage. Because of the revolving back feature, attaching the roll film holder to the camera requires a little practice. By winding the Film Advance Knob of the Film Insert until it stops. By activating the Cocking Lever of the camera body several times, until it stops. (The lens shutter will not be cocked unless the Cocking Lever is moved all the way until it stops. When the film is completely advanced, the numeral '1' will appear in the Exposure Counter, making the first frame ready for exposure. While advancing the film form S (start) to 1 with the Cocking Lever, the shutter releasing mechanism is automatically locked until the film is fully advanced to frame 1. Since there are vertical and horizontal exposure counter windows, an upright numeral can be seen with the Roll Film Holder in horizontal or vertical position. 26 Taking Photographs Unloading Exposed Film When the film is advanced to the next frame, the numeral in the Exposure Counter will automatically change. · CAUTION 120 or 220 film used in this roll film holder is, unlike 35 mm film, not perforated. Therefore, if it is advanced very rapidly, the spacing between frames may become uneven. So, be sure to gently operate the cocking lever with even strokes to maintain proper frame spacing. After an exposure is made, the automatic double exposure prevention mechanism blocks the shutter release until the film has been advanced. After completing the last exposure, press the Cocking Lever several times, until the film and backing paper have been completely wound onto the Take-up Spool. Instead of using the Cocking Lever, you can use the Film Advance Knob of the Film Insert, if you prefer. Then open the back cover of the Film Holder and remove the Film Insert. While holding down the right-hand Spool Release Pin, remove the film, making sure that the backing paper does not unroll or become loose.
