Film winding in Elan 7e


Hi everybody,

I just acquired a used Elan 7e and noticed that when a film is rewinded, the film leader stays out. This does not occur with my other canera (Ti) and I was wondering if it is standard in the Elan 7e or if it is a defect,

Any feedback greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

CK.

  I am not very familiar with your camera but I do know that some cameras can bet set to leave the leader out when rewinding. Obviously this is the way yours is set. If you don't like this, check your manual to see how to set it to fully rewind the film.

  Thanks Kerry,

Indeed I found in the manual the feature that selects that. A custom function in the Elan 7 allows to choose both ways of rewinding the film,

Thanks again.
