4.2 Preparing
the Film Gate
To accomodate the movement of the pulldown claw during
film-transport, the film gate is designed with vertical slits
on both sides. Furthermore, there are two holes for the
register-pins. These openings must be covered to prevent
stray light from reaching the film.
To enable the shutter plate of the Integrated Capping Shutter
to slide into the film gate, a special guide is inserted into the
film gate in place of the filter holder. The plate then slides
into this ICS-Guide. Due to the form of the ICS-Guide it is
necessary to use special format masks.
• Before removing the film gate turn off the camera’s main
switch and remove the camera from the power supply.
• Turn the knurled knob

matches that on the movement block.
• Turn the movement locking lever

position. This will cause the movement block to swing
away from the film gate.
