Mamiya 7 II - Manual (Page 20)

Loading the Film
4. Align the start mark of the film with the start mark
on the body.
Wind the film advance lever until the small arrow (the
starting indicator on the backing paper) aligns with the film
starting indicator (
▼ ) on the camera body. Then close the
back cover.
• Thread the paper leader on the empty take up
spool so the film will be wound evenly and
parallel. This will prevent the film from
winding loosely or over the edge of the spool,
which can cause light leaks and film fogging.
•
If the multi-exposure lever “A” is shifted to
"MULTI" position, film will not advance.
5. Wind up the film advance lever.
Wind the film advance lever until it stops automatically
and " 1" appears in the exposure counter window.
Setting Start Mark with 220 Roll Film
To assure even frame spacing, and prevent overlapping,
be sure to wind the film up to the printed arrow start
mark, which appears after the dotted line.
