Unmounting The Film; Maintenance - Zero Image Zero 6 x 12B Instruction Manual

UNLOADING THE FILM
When loaded with 120 roll film, the camera takes 16 frames when it is set
to 6 x 4.5 format, 12 frames when set to 6 x 6 format, 8 frames when set to
6 x 7 or 6 x 9 format, and 5 frames when set to 6 x 12 format.
1. When all of the frames have been exposed, simply continue to turn the
film advance knob (D) clockwise until all the film is transferred to the
take-up spool.
2. Open the top cover (B) and remove the back cover (E), in order to
withdraw the exposed roll of film.
3. Tighten and seal it with tape or a rubber band to prevent damage from
light leaks.
Note: Although the camera is designed to enable you to load and unload the
film anywhere, we highly recommend that you do not load or unload
the film under bright sunlight as loosely wrapped film may suffer
damage from light leaks.
1. Prevent the camera from getting wet.
2. Do not allow the camera to be exposed to strong sunlight for a long
time.
3. Do not press or punch the pinhole or zone plate or the film counter
window with any object.
4. Never clean the camera with an alcohol-based cleaning agent.
5. Clean the camera with a cotton cloth, with polishing oil like lemon oil,
orange oil for woodworking, Beeswax is preferable. Always try a little
at the bottom corner before you apply the agents to the whole camera.
6. If the shutter or the exposure scale is too tight or too loose, adjust the
screw that holds it with a screw driver.
7. Clean the pinhole/zone plate with an air blower tenderly. Keep the
blower at least one inch away from the pinhole or the zone plate and
blow away the dust tenderly. Too much air pressure may damage the
pinhole and the zone plate.
8. Never over-tighten the knobs or any screw of the camera. It will cause
damage to the camera.
9. Do not store the camera near a heat source or in a cabinet with humidity
control, as the camera may dry up or crack.
