Loading the 416 Magazine
• Set the loop length by pulling the film head away from you and align it with the loop mark on the bottom of
the magazine (see picture above). Adjust the loop length by turning the take-up film core.
• Now take your hand off the film core – there is enough inertia in the sprockets to maintain the loop length.
• Hold the film between thumb and middle finger of your left hand, while using your index finger to push the
film head into the lower magazine throat slot. The angle at which the film enters is not as critical as it is on
SR magazines.
• Keep pushing the film in with your index finger until you see the sprockets rotate. Now take hold of the film
core again and rotate it counter-clockwise. This will pull the film from the throat into the take-up chamber.
• Thread the film around the rear guide roller following the path indicated in the magazine.
• Insert the film head into the film core (see picture right) and manually wind the core holder
two or three turns until the film winds tightly onto the core.
• Unlatch the lay-on roller arm.
• Close and lock the take-up side door.
• If using timecode, set the sensitivity switch according to the table on page 19 of this guide.
The switch is located at the top left corner of the feed side door.
