UNLOADING FILM
When the frame counter indicates that the last exposure
has been made, or when the film-advance lever can no
longer be stroked, the roll of film has been fully exposed
and it should be removed.
To unload the camera, first press the rewind button on
the camera baseplate; then, unfold the rewind crank and
turn it in the direction of the engraved arrow, using a
smooth, even pressure. When no more tension is felt and
the film advance indicator (the colored dot on the re
wind button) stops rotating, the film leader has left the
take-up spool and the camera back may be opened.
After opening the camera back, pull the rewind knob up
as far as it will go and remove the film cartridge. Note
that as the film advance lever is stroked for the next ex
posure, the rewind button will be released to engage the
film-advance mechanism.
Caution: Be careful not to push the rewind button during film-
advance operation. Should this occur, the film transport will
temporarily stop and double exposure may result.
Note: The camera back can be removed from the body by de
pressing the locking catch on the hinge. Removal of the camera
back is necessary when the camera is used with any accessory
back such as the 250 Magazine Back MF-1 or the Camera Back
MF-3, both for motorized photography.
