3. Loading Magazines
Always make sure that a loop protector is on the magazine when it is not on the camera. Also make sure
that the magazine opening cover is on the camera when no magazine is attached to the camera. These
instructions pertain to the coaxial magazines. To learn how to load the light weight magazine LM-1, refer to
the 535B manual.
Step 1: The Feed Side
Load unexposed Ţlm only in absolute dark - such as in a dark room or changing bag.
Y Take the loop protector off.
Y Press the safety button on the feed side door and �ip the magazine door lock up. Turn it counter clockwise
until it stops and remove the door. Place the door with the interior face down beside the magazine. Turn
the magazine door lock now clockwise and �ip it down, so the Ţlm can be placed on the door.
Y Flip up the hinged clip on the feed shaft.
Y Remove the Ţlm from the Ţlm container.
Y Remove the tape from the Ţlm end. Make sure that the tape is completely removed.
Y Place the Ţlm roll on the magazine door.
Y Guide the Ţlm head into the opening and carefully push it further until you feel it emerging from the upper
magazine throat opening. If the Ţlm cannot be pushed through easily, employ the threading aid by
�ipping it up and then turning it counter clockwise to advance the Ţlm.
Note: Ensure that the threading aid is �ipped back into position. Otherwise it can cause noise.
Y Now place the Ţlm on the feed shaft and push the Ţlm core down as far as it will go, without pressing on
the Ţlm itself. The Ţlm will otherwise become conical and cause noise.
Y Flip down the hinged clip to lock the Ţlm core on the feed shaft.
Y Open the magazine door lock, place the magazine door on the magazine and lock it. Double check by
pulling up on the door.
