-=g Mid-roll Film Change
This camera supports the Film Cartridge Mid-roll
Change function, which is one of the major features of
the APS format.
lf you reload a film cartridge that has been partly used,
this useful function automatically winds the film on to
the first unexposed frame so that you can continue
shooting from that point onwards' This function makes
it possible for you to swap around and shoot using
multiple film cartridges depending on factors such as
the subject, the type of shot, or the film speed'
To Remove an Unfinished Film Cartridge

buckle to push the A€ button. (-.> p'12)

This problem does not affect the loading of unused
film cartridges.
. Note that if you load a partially used film cartridge into
a camera that does not support the film cartridge mid-
roll change function (such as the Canon ELPHIIXUS),
the camera does not advance the film and will assign
the fully exposed status to the film cartridge. lt will
then no longer be possible to take pictures in the
unexposed frames.
