Film advancing

Film advancing and shutter cocking

 Wind the film advance lever in a slow,

steady manner to avoid film winding prob-
lems.

Exposed

Film advance

completed

(Before exposure)

1. Draw out the dark slide and release the

shutter. When the shutter is released, the

red mark appears in the exposure counter,

indicating that the film is exposed.

2. Simultaneously when the shutter is re-

leased, the film wind-stop mechanism is
automatically disengaged, and the film can
be advanced for the next frame. When film

is advanced one full frame, the figure in the

exposure counter is advanced, and the red

mark disappears.

 Although the film advance lever cannot

be reversed until it is wound up to the ini-

tial 

 winding, it can be moved in several

short, definite strokes thereafter.

 The film wind-stop release lever provided

for the Pro-S roll film holder is to be used
when the holder is used for the Mamiya

Universal Press, or when desiring to wind
up to the film end while unexposed film
remains in the holder.

3. When you finish exposing the full number

t h e   s h u t t e r   r e l e a s e   b u t t o n

cannot be depressed and the film advance
lever will be freed. Then wind the film com-

pletely to the end of the leader paper.

* Unless the exposed film frame is ad-

vanced, shutter releasing is prevented by

the coupling device for double-exposure

prevention.

 Shifting to multiple exposure photography

is possible. Refer to the next page.

 Even though film advance is completed,

the shutter cannot be released if return of
the film advance lever is hindered by your

fingers or by another object.

Unloading the film

1. Open the back cover of the holder and

remove the film insert. Press the right side
spool release pin (43), remove the full spool,

then wrap and seal the film to protect it

from loosening.
2. Move the empty spool to the take-up

side. The insert is ready for reloading.

* The exposure counter automatically re-

sets to S (start) as soon as the back cover

is opened.

 When the exposure counter shows other

than S, a film is loaded in the holder.

Either film advancing or shutter cocking can
initially conducted. However, the recom-
mended sequence of these steps to be
customarily observed is: (1) film advancing,

(2) shutter cocking, and finally (3) shutter

releasing.
