N70 and Film Change


How do I switch film on my N70 without rewinding film all of the way? And how do I get back to that frame when I put that old film back in?
Thanks,
Andrea.

  In checking the specs, I don't think the N70 has mid-roll rewind.

Even so, you can mimic the mid-roll rewind. First, you'll need a little tool to extract the film leader from the can. These are available at photo shops. Next, make note of the current frame number. You'll want to mark the film can so you know to wind to this frame (or 1 beyond to be safe) when you reload that roll. With the lens cap on the lens, switch the camera to Shutter Priority (or Manual), set the shutter to the highest speed (1/2000), then press the shutter button to advance the film to the end so the camera automatically rewinds it. Then load the new roll you want to shoot and reset the camera mode.

When you want to reload the partially shot roll, fish out the film leader and load it in the camera normally. Then, with the lens cap in place and the shutter set to its highest speed, press the shutter until the camera is advanced to the frame number you noted when you removed the roll. To make absolutely sure there is no overlap with the last frame you shot you may advance it one more frame.
