2-4-1 Exposure Counter
The exposure counter resets itself to "S" (start) position as the camera
back is opened. When the fresh film is loaded and advanced to the
first frame, the exposure counter displays "1". The counter indicates
all odd numbers with consecutive numerals and all even numbers
with dashes. After 16 pictures shot with 120 type film, the advance
lever is released from frame positioning lock and can wind continual-
ly without stopping. The exposure counter advances to 17, -, 19 and
stops only when the film's trailing paper is fully wound into the take-
up film chamber. In the case of 220 type film, the rapid wind lever is
released when the film is fully used, and the exposure counter dis-
plays "E".
2-4-2 Film Memo Holder
It may be necessary to reconfirm the type of film being used in the
heat of a photo shooting session. To facilitate this, clip off the top or
bottom flap of the film box and insert it into the memo holder locat-
ed on the rear cover of the camera. Make sure to replace the film box
flap when a new roll of film is loaded.
2-4-3 How to Remove a Used Roll of Film
1. The film advance lever will be released from the frame positioning
lock mechanism and wind continually after the 16th frame in the case
of 120 type film and the 32nd frame in the case of 220 type film, until
the trailing paper is fully wound into the take-up film chamber. At
that point, all the torque is removed from the film advance action.
2. Press the rear cover lock release of the camera upward to open the
rear cover. Press down on the film spool shaft lock release button and
push the top of the film spool lightly as illustrated and remove the
spool from the film chamber. Hold the film roll so that film's trailing
light shielding paper does not make slack, and seal the film tightly
with the adhesive paper band attached to the film trailing paper.
