UNLOADING FILM
When the frame counter indicates that the last exposure has
been made, or when the film-advance lever can no longer be
stroked, the roll of film has been fully exposed and it should
be removed.
To unload the camera, first press the rewind button on the
camera baseplate; then, unfold the rewind crank, pull it up to
the first detent position and turn it in the direction of the
engraved arrow, using a smooth, even pressure. When no
more tension is felt and the film advance indicator (the col-
ored dot on the rewind button) stops rotating, the film leader
has left the take-up spool and the camera back may be opened.
After opening the camera back, pull the rewind knob up as far
as it will go and remove the film cartridge. Note that as the
film advance lever is stroked for the next exposure, the re-
wind button will be released to engage the film-advance
mechanism.
Caution: Be careful not to push the rewind button during filmadvance
operation. Should this occur, the film transport will temporarily stop
and double exposure may result.
Note: The camera back can be removed from the body by
depressing the locking catch on the hinge. Removal of the
camera back is necessary when the camera is used with any
accessory back such as the 250 Magazine Back MF-1 or the
Camera Back MF-3, both for motorized photography.
