Canon CINEZOOM 512 - Manual (Page 37)

FILM RELOADING OPERATION
When one side of the 7.5 strip of film has
been completely exposed, reverse the film
and use the remaining half.
1. After the film counter indicates 25 for
the first half of the film, stop taking
pictures.
2. Then press the shutter button and ad­
vance the film leader until the film count­
er moves from 25 to F.
3. Open the side cover and remove both
spools. Reverse the spools so that the
figure ©will appear on top.
4. The same procedure applies as that fol­
lowed when the spool was first inserted.
The spools are interchanged, the supply
spool being inserted into the shaft of the
take-up spool and vice versa.
• When making the reloading, be especially
careful of any sagging of the film.
FILM UNLOADING
When the counter has advanced to 25 after
reloading, advance the film until it reaches
F, and then unload.
The
film has now been exposed on both
sides. Prevent the film from loosening and
place it in the empty container which orig­
inally contained the film and then send it to
the film company for developing.
• Loading and unloading of the film must
be done in the shade.
CLEANING THE APERTURE SECTION
It is very important to keep the camera
clean when loading the film. The aperture
section where the film passes, that is, the
section
held by the pressure plate, easily
gathers film fragments and dust. If this
is not cleaned out, scratches and blots will
appear on the film. The camera can be
kept free of dirty elements by using the
blower on the open pressure plate each time
the film is loaded. Anything solid should
be gently removed with a toothpick or the
like. Do not use any metallic or other hard
objects.
