[. . . ] It is perfectly acceptable to use the Aperture Ring at in-between click-stop settings. When the Shutter Release Button is depressed, the diaphragm will automatically stop down to the preselected aperture before the shutter opens for the exposure. 21 The Roll Film Holder Attaching the Holder 1. Slide the Holder Lock Lever of the Roll Film Holder completely toward the Lock Release Lever "A". 2. Align the orange circle "B" of the Revolving Ring (found at the rear of the camera) with one of the two white index marks "C" or "D" on the camera body. Hold the Holder so that its orange circle is at the same position as the one on the Re-volving Ring "B" and fit the holder onto the camera back, making sure that the four Camera Back Mount Pins fit into the four openings of the holder. Touching the Baffle could result in light leaking in or other malfunction. 4. Lock the holder to the camera body by moving the Slide Lock as far as it will go as indicated by the arrow. · Make sure that the holder securely couples with the camera body; otherwise light may leak in and cause film damage. Because of the revolving back feature, attaching the roll film holder to the camera requires a little practice. We find that a good method is to place the bottom edge of the holder against the bottom edge of the body, (preferably while resting on a flat surface) letting the top of the holder leave a slight gap, permitting you look down and to match the two bottom mounting pins of the revolving back to the corresponding holes of the holder. 22 Removing the Holder Pulling out the Dark Slide of a Detached Roll Film Holder Insert the Dark Slide into the Roll Film Holder. For instant recognition, the Dark Slide Slot is bordered by white reference lines. Since there are vertical and horizontal exposure counter windows, an upright numeral can be seen with the Roll Film Holder in horizontal or vertical position. 26 Taking Photographs Unloading Exposed Film When the film is advanced to the next frame, the numeral in the Exposure Counter will automatically change. · CAUTION 120 or 220 film used in this roll film holder is, unlike 35 mm film, not perforated. Therefore, if it is advanced very rapidly, the spacing between frames may become uneven. So, be sure to gently operate the cocking lever with even strokes to maintain proper frame spacing. After an exposure is made, the automatic double exposure prevention mechanism blocks the shutter release until the film has been advanced. After completing the last exposure, press the Cocking Lever several times, until the film and backing paper have been completely wound onto the Take-up Spool. Instead of using the Cocking Lever, you can use the Film Advance Knob of the Film Insert, if you prefer. Then open the back cover of the Film Holder and remove the Film Insert. While holding down the right-hand Spool Release Pin, remove the film, making sure that the backing paper does not unroll or become loose. To prepare for future use, remove the empty spool from the Film Insert and move it to the right-hand side so that it will act as the new Take-up Spool. When the back cover of the holder is opened, the Exposure Counter will automatically return to 'S' (Start). If anything other than 'S' appears in the Exposure Counter, it indicates that there is film in the holder. To prevent accidental exposure of the film, always check the Exposure Counter before opening the back cover of the holder. To process a partially exposed roll of film, first insert the Dark Slide and remove the holder. Next, while holding in the pin in the center of the coupler "A", completely wind the film onto the Take-up Spool with the Film Advance Knob.
