(3) Attaching the film cassette
Hold film cassette with both hands on the right and left of the camera body. The unlocking button (2-
3/2) shows to the user and must not be pressed during attachment. Hold the film cassette parallel to the
upper edge of the camera body and insert it in the basic body (2-3/4) until the unlocking button (2-3/2)
jumps out.
The film leader is wound automatically until the mechanical counter reads 1. After exposure of the first
frame (and, if a databack is used, exposure of the data), the film is automatically advanced to the next
frame. The mechanical counter (2-3/3) of the film cassette displays the current frame number. When the
end of film is reached, the film advance motor is shut down; the left-hand display window of the control
console shows the message ”FILM END”.

reattachment of the cassette back or D4 databack, the slider automatically snaps to its film advance
position.
