SETTING THE FILM FORMAT

The Zero 6X9 camera is designed to be a
multi format camera. The film format can
be set to 6 x 4.5 (portrait), 6 x 6, 6 x 7
(lanscape) and 6 x 9 (landscape) before
the film is loaded.

1. Turn the top cover lock (A) counter-

clockwise to open the top cover (C).

2. Slide out the back cover (I).
3. You will find two dividers (K) at two

sides of the middle chamber of the
camera. You will also find there are 4 pairs of symmetric slots on both
the top and bottom panel of the inner chamber. The pair close to the
center is for 6 x 4.5 format, the one next to it is for 6 x 6, then for 6 x 7
and the outermost pair is for 6 x 9.

4. Slide out the dividers (K) and insert them to the appropriate slots for

the film format you prefer.

Note: If you want to change the film format after the film is loaded, you

need a dark room or a changing bag.
