Step 2: The take-up side
• Push the film head gently into the right slit on the magazine throat until it emerges inside the magazine.
• Place the film head into the film core slot (see drawing).
Note:
The film head should not stick out above the film core, as this could lead to jams!
• Rotate the take-up core clockwise 4 to 5 times until 2 to 3 feet of film is firmly wound up.
• Close the magazine door. Make sure that the film is not caught in the door. Turn the magazine door lock
latch clockwise and flip it back into its recess.
• Pull up on the magazine door to double check that it is properly locked.
Step 3: Set RAW STOCK and ASA
• Enter the amount of raw stock loaded with the PRESET selector switches.
• Press the SET RAW STOCK button until you see the number from the PRESET selector switches appear in the
RAW STOCK display.
• When using the In-camera Slate system, enter the ASA of the film loaded with the PRESET selector switches.
• Press the SHOW/SET ASA button until you see the number from the PRESET selector switches appearing in
the RAW STOCK display.
Note:
The RAW STOCK display normally shows the amount of raw stock left in the magazine. To view the
currently set ASA, press briefly the SHOW/SET ASA button.
• In order to change the unit of measurement, depress the SET RAW STOCK and the SHOW/SET ASA buttons
simultaneously for about 3 seconds. This can be done either while the magazine is not mounted or when the
magazine is mounted and the camera is not powered. The displayed unit (m or ft) will affect all film length
displays. If the unit of measurement on a new magazine is different to the previous magazine, then the
camera will display a warning that can be reset by pressing the PHASE button.
Note:
Always make sure that a loop protector is on the magazine when it is not on the camera
