2-5 Mounting 35-mm camera back
1) Mount the camera back with the limit pin facing upward on the main camera
unit’s lower camera back mount and fix it by turning the handle downward.
2) To dismount it, turn the handle upward.
Warning
Obligatory
When replacing the camera back, fix it while firmly holding it by
hand. Otherwise, it may drop off resulting in a bodily injury.
2-6 Replacing with new 35-mm film
1) Open the rear cover by pressing down the lock lever on the left-hand side.
2) Press in a new roll of film (in Patrone) as far as you hear a click.
3) Pull out the film lead toward the wind-up side as far as it comes to a red line.
Make sure the perforations on both film sides engage with sprocket teeth. Then
close the rear cover.
4) When the rear cover is closed, the film will be automatically wound up as far as
the first frame is ready. Make sure that frame counter indicates “01.”
5) After a desired number of frames have been exposed, press the rewind button.
After rewinding is completed, open the rear cover and take out the roll of film.
• The number on frame counter will disappear in four seconds for power
saving. You may check it by pressing the battery check button.
• If the rear cover should be opened with the exposed film unwound, the
exposed film will be ruined under light. Be sure to check the display of a film
counter before opening the rear cover.
• If “Er” appears or “00” does not come off on the film counter, it suggests that
the film is incorrectly loaded. Follow the film loading procedure all over again.
• When the film is exposed up to the last frame, an alarm sound will buzz and
rewinding will be done automatically.
