When I first started using this cam­era, I noticed that there was a lit­tle plas­tic slider on the back to expose one of two halves of a red plas­tic win­dow, meant to dis­play the counter printed on the back of the film. The choices were 12 and 16, the num­ber of expo­sures desired. It appeared that the film I’d bought didn’t have coun­ters for 12 expo­sures, so I just went with 16. Every photo in the first cou­ple rolls I devel­oped over­lapped with its neigh­bors, and it took me until last week to even try to advance the film with the expo­sures set to 12. The coun­ters I had assumed were not there, were there. So!, now I can take pho­tos with­out over­lap. Why I didn’t try this before is beyond me, and a lit­tle dis­ap­point­ing to be honest.

Any­way now I’ve fig­ured it out and have got some 800 rolls, so I’ve been using it a lot.
