@kaituba the one with the little dots? If it is i dont remember having so many numbers as i go. It now says E so i assume i can take the film for it to be developed....

[kaituba]

@Holocron1306 Little dots? Says "E"? Seeing an "E" or dots may be possible with 120 film, as some of the brands have some text or other markings on the tail end of the film. If you have shot 12 or 16 frames, depending on which mask and which frame count the film counter window slide is pointing at, then you wind until the film rolls past the counter window.

@kaituba how do you know when to stop turning that spinny thing?

[kaituba]

@Holocron1306 Look in the red window for the next frame number.

Nice video! Would have been nice to see the results of the pictures you took! :)

@shinizzles87 Keep winding until you see a 1. Before the one shows up, you will see a series of dots or squares, which will be the Frame number warning. Slow down when you see these markers. After you take your first photo, wind the film until you see a 2. It will probably be upside down. No worries, this is normal.

my film count on my 120 film does not come up with numbers? but i have seen arrows?

[misterluisfernando]

@kaituba how come my film count numbers are multiples of 3?

[90frederick]

does it take 12 or 16 shots a time

[hcox92]

this might be a stupid question, but i cant see any markings on the film through the window at the back of the camera, so ive got no idea how far to move the film on each time. its driving me mad! is this normal with some film types? how many turns do i need to do to move it on a frame if im on the 16 shots setting? thanks!

[kilaliki]

could please somone help me? i have the exact same model and i cant get how it works! do i roll the think ot the top each time i want to get a photo? until i see the number? or does it move automatically? also is N for day and B for night? finally, if i want to get 16 shots do i have to see the ''screen'' next to 16? or do i have to put the bow next to 16?? thank you!!
