The HM 16-32 Film Magazine is an optional accessory.
Film loading
The film magazine can be loaded either on or off the camera.
Regularly check the interior of the magazine and remove dust,
particles or any scraps of paper from previous rolls of film. Load
and unload film magazines away from direct light sources.
1) Fold out the film holder key and turn it counter-clockwise 90°.
Withdraw the film holder completely.
2) Place an empty take-up spool in the upper spool holder by
placing one end over the fixed stud in the holder and the
other end underneath the sprung spool retaining arm. Rotate
the spool a little if necessary until it clicks into position.
3) Completely remove the retaining paper band from a new roll
of film and place it in the lower spool holder. See diagram for
correct orientation. Ensure you do not place the film spool the
wrong way around!
4) Pull 8–10 cm (3–4 in.) of paper backing from the film roll and
insert the tongue of the backing paper into the slot in the
take-up spool. Turn the spool one complete turn to ensure the
tongue is firmly held in place by the overlying paper backing.
5) Re-insert the film holder into the main body of the film maga-
zine ensuring the correct orientation. Press firmly inwards
towards the magazine and pay particular attention to see
that both sides are level with the magazine body before turn-
ing the film holder key clockwise 90˚ to lock the film holder in
place and fold the key back into its stored position. You might
find that increased pressure on the left hand side of the film
holder will more easily ensure a positive and correct position-
ing in the magazine.
If the camera is active or in standby mode the film will be
wound automatically by the camera to position the first
frame (this function can be changed in 'Custom options' so
that the film is advanced only when the shutter release but-
ton is pressed the first time).
Beeper
The beeper sounds immediately after the last-but-one frame
has been exposed. This function can be turned off in Custom
Options.
