3.3.1 First Step, in Daylight
Here you prepare the magazine to receive the film.
•
Place the magazine on a table, its throat facing left. Unfasten the
door locks by turning downward and open the door.
•
You can now choose to have the footage remaining displayed (on
the magazine as on the LCD control panel on the camera body) in
feet or meters. The red sliding switch, accessible from the inside of
the magazine, sets meters on its right, and feet on its left.
• With your thumbs, push the two spindles towards the nose of the
magazine. This operation is accompanied with a loud clicking
sound: don’t be alarmed, this is completely normal.
•
Unscrew both spindle-locks (if necessary, hold the base of the
cores). The spindle-locks are easy to locate: they have the shape of a
rounded rectangle.
•
You can now place an empty core on the take-up spindle (the left
one). Check that the core drive pin on the spindle is not caught on
one of the core ribs or the roll will not seat properly. Firmly screw
down the corresponding spindle-lock to secure the empty core to
the spindle.
Attention! Be sure you have put the core in its correct way. To check
so, imagine that you will have to fit the film in its slot. A white
arrow is engraved on the base of the spindle to help you install it
correctly.
•
Release both sprocket pinch rollers (they have the shape of a half
circle) by rotating them counter-clockwise. Theses rollers should be
opened to let the film slide between them and the sprockets.
Their half-circles face the nose of the magazine when closed, or face
the chamber of the magazine if they are opened.
•
Now closely look at the mechanism inside of the magazine. And
memorize the following diagram and instructions.
• Then, put the magazine in a dark room or changing bag.
