Cleaning the Film Gate
Loose dust or dirt leads to a layer of emulsion forming on
the film gate. This can cause scratches on the film and can
also lead to a change in the film’s coefficient of friction.
The film gate must be removed for cleaning.
Attention!
Keep fingers out of the film gate opening as this
may dirty or damage the mirror shutter.
