Unloading the Magazine
Preparations
• Remove the loop protector.
• Check the counter on the magazine. It must show 0,
otherwise the film has not been fully exposed.
• Open the feed side in daylight.
• Swing away the guide roller arm until it clicks - do not
pull the guide roller arm upwards.
• Pull off the core of the exposed roll.
• If further shooting is to be carried out, the unexposed
film can now be loaded on the feed side.

upwards, the empty film container and the black film

sleeves.
• Open the magazine cover on the take-up side.
• Swing away the guide roller arm until it clicks. Do not
pull the guide roller arm upwards.
Collapsible core:
• Loosen the clamp on the collapsible core.
• Holding the shaft down with your thumbs, brace your
thumbs on the film spindle and pull off the film carefully.
Core adapter and film core:
• Unlock the film core.
Brace your thumbs on the film spindle and carefully
pull off the film with the core adapter and film core.
• Carefully press the core adapter out of the film core,
ensuring that the inner loops of film are not pressed
out with it, and place the core adapter back onto the
film spindle.
• Place the film in the black wrapper and place this in
the film container.
