Loading Film in the Magazine
1. Open the back cover of the
magazine.
Hold down the A button and press the B button
to the right.
2. Take out the roll-film insert.
Pinch the knobs C of the roll-film insert in the
chamber with your fingers and take out the roll-
film inset.
When you load a film in the magazine for the
first time, remove the protective paper which
is attached to the pressure plate of the roll-
film insert.
3. Set the film type (120 or 220).
Hold the button D under the knob and turn the
pressure plate. This frees the pressure plate and
permits it to be turned and set for either 120 or
220 film.
Be sure to align the lock pins with the holes on the pressure plate. The selected film
type will be visible through the window on the pressure plate and will be displayed
on the LCD of the magazine when the roll-film insert is loaded.
A roll of film can be inserted into the magazine whether the magazine is installed onto
the camera body or not.
