lnserting a dry plate(or cut  f ilm) into the plate holder must
be done in a dark room. Further, never expose the prate
holder containingthe dry plate or cut film to direct sunlight
or leave it in a bright room.
when the plate holder is not loaded, pull out the dark slide
(5) from the plate holder. By doing so, it can be immediately
determinedwhether or not a dry plate or cut film is inserted.
when using one quarter size of 4% x 6% inch cut film, use
the type J   f ilm sheath. To divide this  f ilm into four equal    TYPEJ     TYPED
parts under darkroom conditions, MAMIYA provides a con-
venient cutter. When using 2'2, x 3% inch or 6.5 x 9cm
film, use the type D film sheath.
  W hen inserting a dry plate or cut  f ilm,  if the lock lever
 is folded upward, a figure will appear in the lo.werwindow.
 Utilize this figure for a memo of the photographs. Figures
on plate holders, 1 to 3 are provided.
