• Swing the footage counter roller arm aphoto away
from the feed side core holder until it locks in place.
• Remove the lm from the lm can and black bag.
• Remove the tape from the lm head. Ensure that the
tape is completely removed and secured out of the way.
• Place the lm roll on the core holder so that it unwinds
in the direction shown aphoto. Press it down fully.
When placing the lm on the core holder, do
not push on the lm itself as it could become
conical. Push on the lm core instead.
• Hold the lm roll still and turn the core holder until the
core holder key clicks into the key slot of the lm core.
Make sure the core holder cannot turn any further.
• Release the footage counter roller arm gently so the roller
rests on the outer surface of the lm roll. The sides of
the roller should overlap the lm roll edges aphoto.
• Push approximately 15 cm (6“) of lm into the slit at
the top of the angled transfer roller. Then thread the
lm around the guide roller.
• Hold the lm still where it enters the transfer roller and
gently back-tension the lm roll to remove any slack.
• Replace and lock the feed side magazine door, being
careful not to trap any lm in the process.
• Check if the door is properly closed before removing
the magazine from the changing tent or dark room.
