3. Type of Film and number of exposures
• 120 roll film: 16 exposures
• 220 roll film: 32 exposures
# While 120 roll film is attached to an opaque backing
paper over its entire length, such paper is used only on
the ends of 220 roll film as leader. The thickness of the
backing paper causes a shift in the position of the focal
plane and the pressure plate adjusts for this difference
while keeping the film flat on the focal plane. Check to
make sure, therefore, that the Pressure Plate is set to
the correct position lor each type of film.

8. Wind the leader paper (Fig. 20)
• Line up the start mark with this pin. (Fig. 20-A)
Wind the leader paper arour>d the take-up spool by turning
the Up/Down Dial toward the arrow. If you are using 120
roll film. wirKi rt until you see the film start mark on the left
side. Do not vnr>d it any more. If you are using 220 roll film,
wind it in by about 3-5 turns (about 15cm) around the
spool.
• To prevent the roll from slackening press down the
leader paper at the left side, and, applying tension, wind
the leader paper securely around the Take-Up Spool.
e If you wind the film by only 1 - 2 turns arour>d the Spool
and dose the Camera Back, the roll will slacken.
*
Exact positioning of the start mark is not necessary
because the film tip is detected by the Film Sensor. Be
careful, however, because correct first-frame position¬
ing is not possible if you wind rt in too much until the
start mark comes to the right side of the picture frame.
9. Position the film for the first shot (Fig. 21)
