It is the same on R7's with the motor if you shoot 24 exposure rolls and it comes to the end, you have to go through the same routine as you and your wife. If I'm caught with a short roll (pain in the ass) :) as soon as I have re-wound and the roll is out I just pop the battery chamber out and slam it back in, then go on with loading the new roll which is usually a 36 exposure roll. ted
